# Templo Mayor Tour, Mexico City: Aztec Ruins & Museum

**Guidekin's take:** Explore Templo Mayor's open-air ruins before examining the museum's main pieces and recent finds with a guide. Archaeological zone and museum access, fees and taxes are included; moderate physical fitness is required. 4.85 from 108 reviews at €55 per person for 2h.

In our comparison: #36 of 55 in City Tours & Sightseeing, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

Templo Mayor was the ceremonial center of Tenochtitlan. It stayed buried under
Mexico City until 1978, when electric company workers hit a carved monolith and
an entire block of the historic center had to come down.

First, the open-air ruins: the platforms of the twin pyramid built for Tlaloc
and Huitzilopochtli.

Then the museum, where your guide walks you through the main pieces and the
recent finds.
