1. 1

   Palacio de Bellas Artes

   1 hour

   We will admire Adamo Boari’s grand palace of architecture and its Art Noveau details on its exterior; its Neoclassical touch in some elements. Later, we will enter and perceive the transition to a marked Art Deco style. We will go up to the second floor and explain in detail the most important murals.

2. 2

   Museo Nacional de Artes

   1 hour

   We will admire this palace outside, explain its architecture, details and motives.

3. 3

   Palacio Postal

   1 hour

   We will admire the parallel work to the Palace of Fine Arts also by Adamo Boari. We will delight in the blacksmith's motif of its interior decoration. We will describe its origin and motives.

4. 4

   La Opera

   2 hours

   We will enter a historical, gourmet and decorative experience. If the walls of this restaurant will speak, they would testify to talks by presidents, ministers, artists, intellectuals, revolutionaries and ordinary people who in everyday life enjoy international food with a Mexican twist, such as snails in chipotle sauce. As some drink slips down our throats, our ears delight in the trio’s music and our sights in Art Noveau decorative details from over a century ago.

5. 5

   MUPE Museo Del Perfume

   1 hour

   We will enjoy the olfactory, visual and refinement experience of the perfume world.

We will see the magic of Murano glass containers and the story that accompanies the glamorous world of perfume.
