    The museum is located at the top of the hill. Make sure you have water before you begin your journey to the top. There's lots of historic murals make sure to visit all rooms!

    This museum is a royal castle in the middle of Mexico City. The architecture is fantastic and the history that counts includes objects, furniture and antique clothes that enrich the visit even more.

    It is located in the middle of Chapultepec Park at a height of 2,325 meters above sea level. It is the home of the National History Museum, but the nicest part is the gardens...

    Hydrate before start your way up to the castle. Guards don't allow bottles in and there's none for sale inside.

    It’s great to visit Castillo del Bosque de Chapultepec for a foreigner. Because it’s National Museum of History, and it can help you to understand a litte bit about Mexico.
