Guide to have a wonderful stay in Ayuntamiento 115
Restaurants
I love to go out and eat in places where the food is so good, it leaves a very pleasant taste memory and if this is complemented with a nice environment and good service, I will certainly become a regular costumer. Here are some recommendations of restaurants where I have had this kind of experience.
This restaurant has a very wide range of exquisite typical Mexican food. The tortillas are handmade and at the moment, which gives it an extra touch, plus the green sauce is very tasty and not so spicy. You have to arrive early or make a reservation, since it always has many diners. Their prices go into the high range, but the dishes are very tasty and have good portions.

The Opera, which had been inaugurated in 1876 as a pastry shop located where the Latin Tower is now located, was, since 1895 and in its current location, one of the canteens preferred by the political class. The architectural and decorative details confirm this. Alabaster lamps, upholstered walls, carved woodwork for frames, chairs, tables; the purest French style so sought after by the high society of the moment.

The only thing that changes between this restaurant and the one we recommended above, is the location. If you feel like enjoying that delicious meal, but outdoors and enjoying the colonial architecture of the city center, this is the place.

This museum is undoubtedly the best space to learn about the precolonial history of Mexico. If you decide to visit it, I recommend you arrive early and book much of your day, as it is large and will take several hours to visit all its rooms. If there is a temporary exhibition that interests you, it is recommended that you visit it another day, since it will be very tiring to do both routes, the temporary and permanent, on the same day. https://mna.inah.gob.mx/

At the beginning of the nineties, a group of photographers fouted for the creation of a space that would promote the meeting, discussion and exhibition of this artistic expression. Then the National Council for Culture and the Arts (Conaculta) welcomed this idea and was given the task of creating the Image Center (CI), as a response to the needs of dissemination, research and promotion of photography, a discipline that at the end of the eighties had not yet been given in our country the recognition and support it deserved. https://centrodelaimagen.cultura.gob.mx/index.html

The Templo Mayor Museum opened its doors on October 12, 1987 and has received, so far, more than thirteen million visitors. Its creation was the result of the archaeological excavations carried out by the Templo Mayor Project in its first season, between 1978 and 1982, which were carried out under the direction of Eduardo Matos Moctezuma and allowed the recovery of a collection of more than 7 thousand objects, as well as the vestiges of the Templo Mayor de Tenochtitlan and some surrounding buildings. All this gave rise to the initiative to build a site museum to exhibit this collection and, at the same time, complement the visit of the archaeological zone. https://templomayor.inah.gob.mx/

Small towns and archeological sites near the city
If you come to Mexico, you cannot miss its archaeological sites. Here we leave you some of the most visited and one or another not so well known, but definitely worth knowing. Also, do not miss the opportunity to know a town near the city.
Word in Nahuatl language that means "Place of the copper axe", a term that refers to the axe which is part of the attire of the God Ometochtli-Tepoztécatl. In this place you can walk through beautiful cobbled streets and enjoy spectacular views. You can also visit the pyramid located at the tip of the mountain, which involves a long and heavy walk in the middle of the forest, but you'll find its reward when you reach the top with its spectacular view. We recommend you not to go up in the rainy season as it is dangerous. https://www.gob.mx/sectur/es/articulos/tepoztlan-morelos?idiom=es
