Continue to the Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest cathedral in Latin America, built over nearly 250 years using stones from the Aztec temple. Inside, travelers will see its grand altarpieces, colonial-era paintings, and the massive choir area.
Walk across the vast Zócalo, officially known as Plaza de la Constitución. Once the ceremonial center of Tenochtitlán, today it is surrounded by historic buildings, including the National Palace and the Government Headquarters of Mexico City.
Follow Madero Street, a pedestrian avenue lined with historic buildings that showcase colonial and Porfirian architecture. This route, once part of the city’s main roads during the colonial period, leads to the House of the Tiles, an 18th-century palace covered in blue and white Talavera tiles. Originally a private residence, it now functions as a well-preserved example of baroque civil architecture in Mexico.
