Description

Discover one of the most emblematic university campuses in the Americas through a guided tour inside Ciudad Universitaria, the academic and cultural heart of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Designed especially for visitors interested in learning about Mexico's history, art, modern architecture and student life at one of the most important universities in the Spanish-speaking world.
Ideal for lovers of Mexican art, architecture and culture. We begin our tour at Las Islas, the main space for student life and one of the most representative places of the campus. We continue to the iconic Central Library, recognized worldwide for the monumental mural designed by Juan O'Gorman: the facade of the building visually narrates the history of Mexico. The tour continues to the exterior of the University Olympic Stadium, built for the 1968 Olympic Games. The tour ends in the Cultural Zone, a space dedicated to museums, theaters and concert halls. Here you will receive recommendations on exhibitions, events and cultural activities available during your visit.

increíble experiencia

El tour fue muy completo, el guía se nota que sabía mucho y era muy amable, además que había estudiado ahí. La verdad cumplió todas mis expectativas, aprendí mucho de la universidad y de la historia de México en general. 100 por ciento recomendado.

Great afternoon tour. !

I really enjoyed my tour of the university with Basstian! His knowledge of the murals was impressive, and his explanations helped me appreciate its details and meaning. I highly recommend taking a tour with him!

Great tour

Our guide Bastian was very accommodating, knowledgeable and funny and really exceeded our expectations. I studied myself at the UNAM and in all my student years did not get to learn as much as in these 2,5 hours. We highly highly recommend this tour and Bastian.

Tour amurales de la UNAM

Basstian fue un guía excelente, miy conocedor del tema y de la Universidad ya que estudió alli. Pudimos apreciar mucho mas el arte y el simbolismo de los murales gracias a sus explicaciones. Recomendamos 100% este tour!

Excellent tour!

Bastian was an excellent tour guide. His English was excellent. He was funny, relatable, and very knowledgeable about the university and the amazing murals we saw. We learned a lot about, not only the University, but about Mexico in general. What an amazing university campus! I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this tour. After the tour, he even helped us get to the contemporary art museum via the Puma bus system. Highly recommended.

Recorrido espléndido por los murales de la UNAM

Bastian nos enseñó con pasión y empeño la historia de la UNAM a través de sus murales. Nos vamos encantados y con la ilusión de regresar pronto. Ver los murales de la UNAM es ver la historia misma de México hecha arte. Goya Goya!!
