Getting there

Metro

If you are near a Metro station, take Line 2 (Blue Line) and get off at 'Zócalo/Tenochtitlan' station. Once you exit the station, follow the signs leading to Plaza de la Constitución, which is the main square. As you come out of the station, you will see the historic buildings surrounding the square, including the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace.

Bus

Look for a nearby bus stop where you can catch a bus that heads towards 'Centro Histórico'. Buses such as routes 1, 5, or 8 will take you to the Zócalo area. Ask the bus driver to let you know when you are nearing the Plaza de la Constitución, or simply keep an eye out for the impressive buildings as you approach.

Walking

If you are already in the Centro Histórico area, simply walk towards Plaza de la Constitución. Look for Calle 16 de Septiembre, and walk straight until you reach the Zócalo. The National Palace will be on your right as you enter the square. It's a beautiful walk, and you'll pass by various shops and restaurants along the way.

Taxi or Rideshare

You can request a taxi or rideshare (like Uber) to take you directly to the National Palace. Just tell the driver to take you to 'Plaza de la Constitución' or 'Zócalo'. Once you arrive, you will be dropped off close to the entrance of the National Palace, allowing for easy access.
