Art and Culture in Mexico City

"This imposing 18th-century construction is located at the top of the Chapultepec Hill in Bosque de Chapultepec, a large forest smack dab in the middle of Mexico City. Chapultepec Castle was initially built as a lavish residence for Spanish royalty but now functions as the National Museum of History. Arrive here early to avoid the crowds and wander through the many grand rooms at your leisure. There’s a small train that transports visitors from the bottom of the hill all the way up to the castle, but the hike is nice and doesn’t take more than 15 minutes. Don’t forget your camera, as this place has an amazing view of Paseo de la Reforma, CDMX’s most iconic avenue, and the Chapultepec forest." - MATADOR_NETWORK
