Self-Guided Walking Tour: Chapultepec, Mexico City, Mexico City, Mexico (B)

A city is best explored on foot. That’s a fact. And many people enjoy doing it on their own instead of booking a tour. Myself included. I prefer taking my time during walking around, staying longer in places I enjoy and skipping others I do not like that much. I like to have time taking some photos, having a coffee or sitting a while on a square while people watching. All this is better done when you go independently without a guide and a huge group around you. Due to the fact that there is a lack of self guided walking tours online for certain cities, I thought it might be a good idea to start a series of independent and self-guided walking tours I have done.

The castle Castillo de Chapultepec is an important place for the Mexican history. Once a palace of the aztecs which was destroyed by the Spanish and later a military academy whose cadets fought in the Mexican-American war of 1847 and won against the US. Today the castle accommodates the National History Museum.
