Mexico City Arts and Culture

We’ll delve into the mystical origins of the Teotihuacan pyramids and examine the remains of the Aztec great temple of Tenoctitlán, the centre of the universe now the centre of the city’s main plaza. We’ll visit museums like the splendid Museum of Anthropology with its exceptional collection of Mexican Art and the studio homes of the Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Alongside our Study Leader, urban design expert Erick Villagomez, we get to traverse the historic neighbourhood districts, which come alive with cutting-edge design and the contemporary pulse of street art that address social and political issues through imagery that challenges norms and invites dialogue.

The city’s gastronomic landscape is no less artistic, reflecting the rich culinary heritage, creativity, and fusion of flavours. We’ll sample the bustling street food scene in vibrant markets and favourite food stalls and savour the traditional cuisine of moles and antojitos.
