Learn more about the free tours every Sunday in March through theaters, mansions, and iconic neighborhoods of the capital.
If you’re looking for things to do in Mexico City in March without spending a penny, this news is for you. The CDMX historical walks are back every Sunday of the month with free tours of some of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods and venues.
The process is simple: just show up at the meeting point at 10:45 a.m. It is important to note that there is no prior registration or limit on the number of participants.
The guides—identifiable by their black vests with the program’s logo—will lead you on these tours organized by the capital’s Ministry of Culture.
Theater, history, and live music
On Sunday, March 8, the meeting point will be in Polanco for a tour of Lincoln Park and the iconic Ángela Peralta Theater, an open-air venue inaugurated in 1938 and inspired by the Hollywood Bowl.
On March 15, the tour will move to Donceles to visit the majestic Esperanza Iris City Theater, founded in 1918 by the famous Mexican singer and businesswoman. In addition, you can visit the Mexico City Historical Archive, which houses key documents of the capital’s history.
From San Ángel to a window on Chiapas
On March 22, we will walk through San Ángel, formerly known as Tenanitla in pre-Hispanic times. Among the cobblestone streets and viceregal mansions, the Casa del Risco stands out, an 18th-century gem located in front of the Plaza de San Jacinto.
To close out the month, on March 29, the tour “A Step Away from Reforma, a Window to Chiapas” will open a new cultural space housed in a neocolonial mansion with art deco details. The starting point will be next to the iconic Diana the Huntress Fountain, one of the most photographed symbols of the city.
All CDMX historical tours are free, ideal for all ages, and perfect for rediscovering the city from a different perspective. It’s an opportunity to walk, learn, and see the neighborhoods you thought you knew by heart with new eyes.
