Hotels near Centro Historico

The Centro Historico is the dense colonial core built over the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, anchored by the Zocalo, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Templo Mayor ruins. It is the most concentrated sightseeing area in the city and a strong base for culture-focused visitors.

Accommodation spans grand historic hotels around the Zocalo to budget options on the surrounding streets. The area is exceptionally well connected by Metro, which matters for the long trip south to Estadio Azteca. You can read more about the area on the Centro Historico Wikipedia entry.

Pro Tip: The Centro can be overwhelming at street level; a rooftop bar overlooking the Zocalo is the classic way to end a match day. For Estadio Azteca, ride Metro Line 2 south to Tasquena, then the Tren Ligero, allowing about 50 minutes.
