The experience
Pre-Hispanic Mexico and Emperor Maximilian’s residence, in one guided afternoon.
A two-site visit that pairs the National Museum of Anthropology — one of Latin America’s most important collections, covering the Maya, Toltec and other pre-Hispanic peoples — with Chapultepec Castle, the former residence of Emperor Maximilian I, on its hill above Chapultepec Park.
A bilingual guide connects the two: rooms of classical European ornamentation at the Castle, and the ethnic groups and history explored across the Museum’s halls, with a coffee break at Chapultepec Park between them.
