Latest Mexico City hotel reviews
In the center of the city, near the Zócalo, there are ruins of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán. Hernán Cortés, upon conquering the Aztecs, had the Aztec temples razed and built Mexico City on top of the ruins. Today some of the ruins have been unearthed. There is a museum, and there are trails through the ruins outdoors.

Next to the Templo Mayor and included in the admission price is this museum that preserves the greatest Aztec (or Mexica in Spanish) artifact from Mexico City.

Is a travel through the religiosity of Mexicas. The museum is nice too, there are pieces of archeology that let you understand better the live of pre columbian people in the Mexican territory.

This is a shot of the Templo Mayor ruins at Zocalo. You can pay a fee and walk down through the ruins for a closer look.

Even though the "Templo Mayor" was closed, I still manage to get a good glimpse of the ruins from the outside platform. So if you can't go inside, a stroll around the ruins is still worth your time.
