Main entrance

The National Museum of Anthropology has one main entrance, located along Paseo de la Reforma inside Chapultepec Park. It's a wide, accessible pathway with ramps and spacious walkways that accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. Security checks happen right at the entrance, so it’s best to arrive a little early. There's also a large central courtyard once you're inside, which helps with orientation.

This tour included a lot more than I expected. Our guide took us on a cable car ride so we saw the city from above. We also stopped at a market for some fruit and delicious taco bite before moving on to Chapultepec park and the museum. Learned a lot in one day. This tour is a must!
