Great tourist attraction in the main park. Lovely views of the city in all directions. Interesting exhibits too. Tourists are charged to enter on Sundays.
A beautiful castle that houses now the National Museum of History, situated at 2300 meters above sea level on top of a hill in Chapultepek Park. It is 15 minutes walk uphill to get there. And the view of downtown Mexico City and the entire surrounding area is spectacular.
The site of the castle is inhabited since the days of the Aztec Empire and it was an important landmark to them. In 19th century the castle was the official residence of Mexican presidents.

This was a great experience from beginning to end. I recommend buying tickets in advance as there is always a line and be ready to walk a lot but it is completely worth it. Take your time to read and learn the history and visit the gift shop!

A beautiful estate nestled over 2000 meters above sea level. It offers a breathtaking 360 views of Mexico City and the surrounding Chapultepec park. This is a definite must see not only for the views of Mexico City but to also appreciate the architecture and beautiful grounds of the Castle. From the garden on the first floor by the entrance to the second floor garden, the vibrant stained glass windows, the beautiful paintings, and learning about the history of Mexico City, this place has it all! It is a bit of a hike from the ticket office to the castle so make sure to wear comfortable shoes, breathable clothes and pack some cold water!
Wow, such an amazing sight. Glad we did not leave cdmx without visiting this castle at the request of a local. Amazingly beautiful inside and out. The rooms were split into different eras. It really is an extraordinary place to visit. Surprisingly kid friendly as long as your children listen and understand no touching. Both my children enjoyed peeking into the rooms at the top floor.
Absolutely do not miss visiting Chapultepec Castle.
Be aware you cannot bring any food or drinks inside the castle. Many vendors are right outside and we made the mistake of buying a huge water just to waste half of it right before walking in.

Great views, may be a guided tour works best to have a route inside the place as it is big and there is a lost of information and history that might be better digested if someone is explaining it in a certain order. I went on a regular Saturday and there were 2 people in line before me. Try to be early around 9 or 10 am it got crowded afterwards.
There castle is between 2 to 3 hours + depending on your own approach.
Remember there is a Zoo and the forest to walk through if you like.

Great museum, architecture, and views of the city above a literal forest. I came on a Saturday and while there were many people, it didn’t feel way too crowded. Loved taking pictures and learning about the history of the site and of the city.
NOTE: Sundays are free entrance for Mexican nationals, so I’d suggest visiting on a Saturday or during the week, to avoid massive crowds.

Amazing exhibits and view of the park. I would suggest getting there early to beat the crowds. We were there right when they open at 9 AM on a Saturday and there wasn’t too many people there yet. It’s quite a steep walk to the top so dress comfortably and wear walking shoes.
A beautiful castle in the heart of Mexico City. Be prepared to walk a lot! Buy your ticket at the building at the very bottom of the hill (before security). Tickets currently cost 90 pesos a person, which is a great deal.
The walk up the hill to the castle is quite the trek and not for the out of shape. Once you get to the top, there’s a number of spots where you can check out the views of the city and parks below.
Beautiful rooms to peek into, and some signs are also in English which was great.
There are some elevators in the castle so people who can’t do the stairs can see the second floor.
Worth a visit! Expect to spend around a hour here. Great spot for solo travelers!
