Plaza de la Constitución

Large plaza in the center of Mexico City. It was great to spend some time here during the day of the dead. The plaza a filled with so many people. All the statues and lights were really good. Definitely the place to be during a special event.

I was fortunate to be there in October. It was beautifully decorated for Dia De Muertos. People were dressed in amazing costumes, and there were decorations everywhere. There are a lot of beautiful historical buildings. There are lots of people selling wonderful foods and a variety of amazing products. I got my makeup done, too. It was so gorgeous and helped make the night even more magical. I definitely recommend coming to this beautiful place.

What a great experience. We didn't realise how far back is Mexicos history. Very fascinating and interesting.
The cathedral is amazing! The square is amazing! Well worth a visit!

We were lucky enough to visit around the Día de Muertos so we saw all the decorations. Make sure you visit during the day and at night

Beautiful however we were not able it's full splendor as there was a book fair and many tents were set up. Still impressive thou.

It is a very nice place to go check out and see all kinds of things. Was here a day after day of the dead, and it was just an experience. The only thing I would tell future tourists is watch your bags and be safe. I've never had an issue here, but I've seen people get picked. It was a beautiful place to see with the family or like me solo traveler.

Super nice place and the cathedral is really a nice and full of history. The ruins were also really neat. A Must visit location.

Amazing experience! Mexico City has done an amazing job at preserving history and culture and sharing it with the world! Can’t wait to visit again.

We were lucky to be there in Dias DES muertes. So many people dressed with painted faces.
Very good vice of the crowd.
The deviations of buildings were very colourful and catching eye.

Wonderful place. So much beauty in the details and atmosphere, very calming music playing too!

A vibrant pulse of people, events, shops, and food. It is hard to take in all of the historical buildings and look at all the wonderful vendors, food, and shops. Especially loved it at night in December

Visited here whilst on a very long walk around mexico city. Building was very nice and had my auro cleansed by locals as part of a ritual for day of the dead. Nice cafes and restaurants nearby

Zocalo is the soul of Mexico City. It is so vibrant and unique! Everything happens here - parades, demonstrations, cultural events and festivals, music venues. The flag ceremony is also held here every day. Zocalo is really impressive with its vastness, beautiful architecture and two great volcanoes in the distance.

Free public place to visit. Very pretty and fun. There a little park on the left side with huge cacti and often people playing music. To the right, there’s lots of people selling souvenirs and you can see the Mayan ruins from there. The square is surrounded by stores and restaurants. It’s beautiful at night. It’s all lit up and sometimes people get together and play music.

By day or by night, this place is tight. Lovely way to bring in the New Year...

What a beautiful place. And a long history that is worth understanding- all of it. The main plaza is huge and full of people. So many traditions all combined in one spot. The architecture is worth checking out all by itself. You can easily burn a whole day down here- I did and enjoyed it very much.

Fun place to visit and walk around admiring the rustic and beautiful architecture of historic buildings. Usually crowded on a weekend evening so be cautious.

Went here to celebrate the Mexican Independence Day and got to see the President Manuel Andres Lopes Obrador. Very fun fiesta!!

Recently, during our visit to Mexico City, I had the pleasure of exploring the famous Zócalo. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary, offering a delightful blend of history, culture, and vibrant energy.

Our journey began at the stunning Bellas Artes, where We embarked on a leisurely walk along Av. Francisco Madero. This iconic avenue was filled with bustling shops, enticing me with a variety of unique Mexican crafts, artwork, and souvenirs. The lively atmosphere and colorful displays immediately set the stage for the adventure that awaited me.

As we continued my stroll, the imposing structures surrounding the Zócalo began to emerge in the distance. The anticipation grew with each step, as the grandeur of the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace became more visible. The architectural beauty of these historical landmarks added a sense of awe and reverence to the atmosphere.

Upon entering the Zócalo, I was immediately struck by its vastness. The expansive square seemed to come alive with a multitude of people, each immersed in their own experiences. The joyful chatter, laughter, and vibrant energy filled the air, creating a palpable sense of excitement.

We took our time to explore every corner of the Zócalo, marveling at the rich history and cultural significance that emanated from its surroundings. The Metropolitan Cathedral, with its intricate facade and towering spires, stood as a testament to centuries of religious devotion. Inside, the hushed ambiance and ethereal beauty of the interior left me in awe.

Adjacent to the cathedral, the National Palace captivated me with its imposing presence. The vivid murals depicting Mexico's complex past served as poignant reminders of the country's struggles and triumphs. Each brushstroke seemed to tell a story, inviting me to delve deeper into Mexico's captivating history.

Throughout our visit, I couldn't resist indulging in the local culinary delights. From traditional street food stalls to charming cafes, the Zócalo offered a plethora of options to satisfy my taste buds. The tantalizing aromas of Mexican cuisine enticed me to savor dishes like authentic tacos, tamales, and refreshing “aguas frescas,” creating a delightful gastronomic journey.

As the sun began to set, the Zócalo transformed into an enchanting spectacle. The square was bathed in a golden glow, and the lively atmosphere intensified as street performers entertained the crowd with vibrant music and captivating performances. I found myself immersed in the infectious energy, and feeling a profound connection to the vibrant spirit of Mexico City.

My visit to the Zócalo was an unforgettable experience. The combination of rich history, architectural splendor, cultural immersion, and lively ambiance made it a true highlight of my trip. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a culture lover, or simply seeking an immersive and vibrant atmosphere, the Zócalo is a must-visit destination that will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the vibrant soul of Mexico.

I was surprised on how clean and comfortable it felt to walk. Its been 40 years since I went to this area and it used to smell like urine and it was not clean. I love how they have kept the historical buildings and maintained the area. The Spanish/European architecture is amazing. One of the best cities I have visited. I would love to spend more time there.
