Known forpre-ColumbianAztecMayaarchaeology
One of the world's great museums, housing the Aztec Sun Stone, the Pakal sarcophagus lid, and room after room of pre-Columbian artifacts spanning every major Mesoamerican civilization. Arrive early and budget at least three hours — the sheer scale overwhelms first-timers who underestimate it. Sundays are free for Mexican nationals, making crowds intense; Tuesday through Friday mornings are the sweet spot for foreigners.
