Self-Guided Walking Tours in Mexico

2 free self-guided walking tours, with an audio guide at every stop.

Mexico City's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site built directly on the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. The main square, the cathedral and the excavated Templo Mayor stand within a hundred metres of each other.

Our self-guided walk starts on the Zócalo, visits the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Templo Mayor museum and ruins, then follows the pedestrian Madero street to the Palacio Postal, the city's ornate central post office. About 50 minutes and 2.4 km.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.
