Free Virtual Tour of Mexico 2020

With the worldwide lockdown going on these days, most of us are trapped at our homes and can’t go out except to buy groceries or due to some emergency. Furthermore, travel has been severely restricted with the closing of international borders and changes in the availability of flights. Many tourist attractions like museums, theaters, and parks have been closed for weeks. 

Luckily, with all the advancements of modern technology, we can now explore attractions that are located thousands of miles away just by clicking a few buttons and best of all for free! All we need is the Internet and a computer or mobile device. That’s why we came up with a list of cool options to travel to without leaving your home. Check it out and pick your favorite free virtual tour of Mexico. Let’s get started!

Chapultepec Castle (Mexico City)

Chapultepec Castle

The castle was built at the time of the Spanish Viceroyalty and was the official residence of Emperor Maximilian I and the succeeding presidents until 1939 when it was turned into a museum. 

It requires some good physical condition to get to the top of the hill where it’s located, but thanks to this tour, you can watch it all from the comfort of your home. Once there, you can watch Maximilian’s chamber as well as some other historical pieces.

This tour is guided and contains audio tracks with useful information. Unfortunately, the information is only in Spanish. Check it out .

Palacio de Bellas Artes (Mexico City)

Palacio de Bellas Artes

The Palacio or simply Bellas Artes as it’s more commonly known was built in the early years of the last century and boasts an impressive Beaux-Arts style. It’s one of the most beautiful and easily recognizable buildings not only in Mexico City but the whole country as well.

On this virtual tour, you can admire its magnificent architecture from both the exterior and interior, its terraces, its murals, its dome, its spectacular theater, and its interesting museum . The photography quality is superb. You even get aerial views of the place! I highly recommend it.

Museo Nacional de Arte – MUNAL (Mexico City)

Museo Nacional de Arte

This museum hosts works of art spanning from the middle 16th century up to 1954. It’s considered one of the most important architectural buildings from the early 20th century. Its primary focus is to offer a global vision and synthesize the history of Mexican art of this period. 

Admire the beautiful architecture and the impressive works of art located inside. You can watch it all here .

Dolores Olmedo (Mexico City)

Museo Dolores Olmedo

The museum was founded by María de los Dolores Olmedo in 1908 and hosts around 200 works of art by artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. It also hosts around 900 pre-Hispanic pieces. 

The main artistic styles found here are Cubism, Post-Impressionism, Primitivism, Symbolism, Surrealism, Magic Realism, and Social Realism.

Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso (Mexico City)

Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso

This museum was once a Jesuit college, but after the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767, it served different purposes: military barracks, the Law College, a high school, among others. It was later renovated and opened to the public in 1992. 

On this tour, you can admire the interior of the former college and more importantly, the impressive murals that decorate its walls. Artists include José Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera. 

The tour is divided into All the college, Interiors, and Murals. Take your time and admire every detail. It’s a must-watch.

Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City)

If you want to look at modern art, this is the place to go. The museum hosts a permanent collection of works by renowned artists such as Frida Kahlo, David Alfaro Siqueiros, José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Leonora Carrington, and Remedios Varo, among others. The gardens and lobby are lined with sculptures from national and international artists. And guess what? You can watch it all for free !

Templo Mayor (Mexico City)

Templo Mayor

The museum was inaugurated in 1987 and recreates the duality between life and death, water and war, and the symbols of Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli. 

It’s divided into 8 halls: Archaeological Antecedents, Rituals and Sacrifices, Tribute and Commerce, Huitzilopochtli, Tláloc, Flora and Fauna, Agriculture, and Colonial and Modern Periods.

A very cool feature of this tour is the inclusion of black floating signs as you move through the museum. It’s important to mention this tour only includes the museum, not the archaeological site.

Museo Nacional de San Carlos (Mexico City)

Museo Nacional de San Carlos

This museum hosts an ample collection of European paintings spanning from the 14th century up to the beginning of the 20th century. There are nine art styles you can admire: Gothic, Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, Romantic, Impressionist, and Academia en Mexico. It’s important to mention you get an excellent view of the paintings as compared to other virtual tours. You can access this free tour here .

The quality of this tour is not as good as others, but it’s a great option if you’re interested in looking at some great art by the Indigenous people of Mexico.

The primary purpose of this museum is to show the development of the Maya culture in all aspects. Respect for nature was an important element to consider before starting construction.

Archaeological Sites

Monte albán (oaxaca).

Monte Alban

It was founded in 500 BC and reached a population of 35,000 inhabitants. They had connections with the people from Teotihuacán.

Compared to other pre-Hispanic sites, the structures in Monte Albán are smaller. The ruins were restored between 1931 and 1948. 

You can tour both the archaeological site and the on-site museum .

Teotihuacán (Estado de México)

Teotihuacan

Along with Chichén Itzá, this is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico, especially around the date of the spring equinox. 

On this tour, you can watch the archaeological site as well as its two on-site museums: Museo de la Cultura Teotihuacana and the Museo de los Murales Teotihuacanos . The two most famous structures are the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. Check them out!

Chichén Itzá (Yucatán)

Chichen Itza

This is undoubtedly the most visited archaeological site in the country. It’s internationally known for the Pyramid of Kukulcán “the Feathered Serpent” and the Temple of the Warriors. You can check it out here .

Tulum (Quintana Roo)

Tulum

Formerly known as Zama (meaning tomorrow), this is the only archaeological site located right next to the sea. The most famous structures are its wall, the Temple of the Frescoes, the Temple of the Descending God, and El Castillo. You can go on this tour here . 

Paquimé (Chihuahua)

Paquime

Also known as Casas Grandes (Great Houses), this is one of the few archaeological sites in the north of Mexico. However, unlike other sites, Paquimé is known for its architecture composed of sun-dried blocks of mud and gravel, circular/semi-circular houses, and T-shaped doorways. There are similar ruins in New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado in the U.S.

Bonampak (Chiapas)

Bonampak

Located in the heart of the Chiapas rainforest in southern Mexico, Bonampak is famous for its Temple of the Murals. The Bonampak murals helped debunk the myth that the Maya were peaceful people.

On this tour , you can admire the murals, as well as the steles, the Acrópolis, and other structures.

El Tajín (Veracruz)

El Tajin

Named after the Totonac rain god, this is the most important site in Veracruz. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992. Its most famous structure is the Pyramid of the Niches.

On this tour , you can admire the pyramids, temples, and ballcourts. You can also tour the on-site museum. 

Palenque (Chiapas)

Not as big as Chichén Itzá or other Maya sites, but still Palenque boasts fine architecture, sculptures, and carvings. Its most famous structures are the Temple of the Inscriptions, the Temples of the Cross, and the Palace.

You can check it out here .

Other notable sites include:

What Tools to Use

Most of the tours mentioned above come from the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) website or the INBA (National Institute of Fine Arts) website . They offer many tours with 360 photos, and a few of them even include audio. 

However, did you know that Google also offers virtual tours? They partnered up with many museums around the world to offer online exhibitions through Google Arts & Culture . Mexico is no exception. What’s even better, compared to other tours, the ones on Google allow you to zoom in on the works of art to look at the smaller details and they also offer useful descriptions so you can better understand the works. On other tours, it can be hard if not impossible to read the description no matter how much you zoom in. That’s not the case with Google Arts & Culture.

Another interesting site you could try is Maps of Mexico . It has a sizable amount of interactive maps with 360 photos. Unfortunately, not all links work but you can try your luck. What I like about this website particularly is you can look at attractions other than museums or archaeological sites. Check it out!

For some tours, you will need Flash. If that’s the case, I recommend using a computer/laptop, but if you want to use a mobile device there are some workarounds you can take.

We can’t travel freely these days, but that’s no excuse to not explore the world. There are many virtual tours you can take. You can learn a lot of things about other cultures with just a computer and an Internet connection.

It’s not the same thing as going in person, you may think. I know and I agree with you. But this is the perfect opportunity to use our imagination and creativity. You can take virtual tours by yourself or with your family. If you have children, they can learn something new and have fun at the same time instead of just watching YouTube or playing video games. 

We will be able to travel again soon. But in the meantime, check out the myriad of virtual tours available.

What tours would you like to take? Have you taken any already? How did you like it? Let me know in the comments below. See you soon!

Book your trip now!

Book your flight

The first thing you have to do is find cheap flights. But where do you find those? There are many search engines, but the one I highly recommend is Skyscanner . Here you can compare fares from all over the world and pick the one that suits you best.

Book your accommodation

The next thing you have to do is secure your lodging. Whether you prefer a hostel, a guesthouse, a B&B, or a hotel, you can find them all on Booking . You can find lodging of all kinds ranging from cheap to expensive and somewhere in between. Many people have scored good deals using it.

Another popular option is Hostelworld . This website focuses on hostels as opposed to hotels.

Book a tour

In some places, you might want to hire a tour. Not all places are equally accessible to visit by oneself. It helps enormously when you visit with a local guide who can show you around and answer any questions you might have…all in your native language. My to-go place is Viator as they offer tours of all kinds and have a presence all over the world.

Public transportation is usually cheaper than renting a car, but it’s sometimes more complicated and time-consuming. That’s a reality. In some cases, it’s more convenient to rent a car. My recommendation is Rentalcars.com . Here you can compare rates and choose the one that fits you best.

Book your bus tickets

You can save money by booking bus tickets online. My favorite site to do this is Busbud .

Get travel insurance

Never travel without a travel insurance policy, especially during these days! Travel insurance can save your life. My recommendations are World Nomads and Insured Nomads . Both companies cover COVID-19 related incidents, which is crucial these days.

More resources

Just click on the “Plan your trip” tab at the top of this page, and you will find more resources like getting Mexican insurance for your foreign car, buying travel accessories, and learning Spanish. And, of course, don’t forget to check back often to read about more tips on Mexico travel.

10 Replies to “Free Virtual Tour of Mexico 2020”

Reading this article had some happy moments for me in that this is one of the places I would love to visit. Your article brought Mexico and the wonderful places you’ve highlighted to life. Can’t wait to visit there when this COVID madness is over. Thank you for the virtual tour to Mexico.

You’re welcome. Hope you visit someday.

I was surfing online dreaming of travelling when I found your site! I took the virtual tour of Mexico. I would however preferred to go there and see all the places like Yucatan and all the Maya sites. I have never been to Mexico so it is definitely on my travel list. Who knows when we will be able to travel normally again? Meanwhile I am glad I found a place to travel virtually. I think this will be the way of travelling in 2020 for most people. 

Yeah, I agree virtual travel is not the same thing, but it’s a good alternative these days. This will be the way of traveling for quite some time, but sooner or later, everything will go back to normal.

Thank you for your virtual tour of Mexico to us! It’s an opportunity to tourist and to travel lovers from around the world to discover and explore the attractions from MEXIQUE, from the confort of their homes.

You’ve invoqued the lockdown period due to Covid-19: this is maybe the reason for those who used to travel and who have the means to. But there is another category of target: those who live very far from Latin America, and who want to discover best and great places as you’ve presented. I’m among those in the last category, because I’m from Rwanda, a country of 1000 Hills, located in the heart of Africa, in its Eastern part, not far from Kenya, Ouganda and Tanzania. You can imagine with what interest I read your post. I liked all the places as presented and the way you did it.

I can tell you that I bookmarked your website to comeback to it to discover other awedome places you’ll be presenting to virtual tourists next time.

Thank you for your post.

You’re most welcome. I’m glad to be of assistance to all those interested in visiting my country.

Many countries are talking about tentative dates to lift the lockdown, but they will assess the situation and could extend it instead. In the meantime, we can explore the world from our computers. We will be able to travel again soon.

I hope you visit Mexico someday. I’m sure you’d love it.

I haven’t considered going on any virtual tours of Mexico. Since we are housebound due to the Coronavirus it is nice to have entertaining but educational options like this to do. I am interested in the Bonampak archaeological sites Temple of the Murals. I thought the Mayans were peaceful. Were they warriors instead? Is this tour offered in English?

With this lockdown in place, we have to make the most out of it. Although virtual travel is not the same thing as real travel, it’s a great alternative to beat the lockdown.

Answering your question, the Maya were not peaceful people like we thought. The murals helped debunk this myth.

Unfortunately, the tour is only in Spanish. English would be a great addition. Hopefully, they’ll include it, too.

Thanks for commenting.

It is really frustrating and painful that this present pandemic – Covid-19 has brought us all to this level where we can’t even go out on a tour any more. Anyways  I so much love tourism it’s actually one of my hobby and I am so glad that even in this present time one can still do a virtual tour even though the feelings and experience wouldn’t be as the original (lol) just as you’ve mentioned but I think it’s still ok. I love art so much so I would like to take a virtual tour on museo de arto modeno so as to see some modern art works. I am so happy it’s free, no fee attached. Thanks for this informative article.

Yes, it’s a shame, but hey, nothing lasts forever. We will be able to travel again soon.

You will find lots of cool options to look at. Take your time and use your creativity.

I hope you visit someday. Thanks for commenting.

Aztecs, Frida, and Olmecs

After you’ve had a ravenous (or maybe fulfilling) food virtual tour, it’s time to explore more museums in Mexico. The next one you should conduct a virtual tour is the prestigious Museo Nacional de Antropologia.

Since its founding in 1825, you can find a convergence of multiple cultures here.

Some of the museum's showstoppers that you can see in the virtual tour include Aztec Sun Stone. You can also see a brilliant replica of the feathered cape of Moctezuma. The virtual tour lets you walk through galleries, exhibit halls, and see the replicas at a closer look. The best part? No can disturb your virtual touring!

You can also take a virtual tour at Casa Azul. This vibrant blue house of Frida Kahlo showcases around 2,000 museums and artifacts around the world. This is truly a wonder to behold! Aside from that, make sure to visit Palacio de Bellas Artes. Aside from its stunning arts hall, you can also find numerous virtual concerts, operas, and theater performances.

Art History: Mexican Art History with Kids

Art in Mexico is very old! It dates back to before recorded history. There are different periods of Mexican art, including the prehispanic period, a colonial period, a time before and after independence, and more modern Mexican art after the Mexican Revolution.

  • Historians believe the oldest rock art in the Americas is in a cave on the peninsula of Baja California.
  • The first major Mesoamerican culture was the Olmecs. They created hieroglyphics, the 365 day calendar, and did art with jade, a beautiful greenish stone.

  • Murals were often political and supported the Revolution. They became most popular during the 1930s.
  • Diego Rivera was a very popular muralist.

Frida kahlo activity for kids.

Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico and cared deeply about sharing Mexican folk culture. She did not want it to get lost from colonization. She often wore traditional Mexican clothes.

Frida painted in a way that shared Mexican culture with all who viewed it. She used strong lines and bright colors. She also painted to share the experience of a woman, which was not common during that time. Frida painted other women and situations specific to women (like motherhood), and even hard things like abuse towards women.

Frida painted several self-portraits in a distinct, colorful style. You, too, can paint a self portrait!

Eclipse 2024 live: Watch the full NASA broadcast – latest

The eclipse is about to begin. Totality will arrive at Mexico’s west coast around 11.07am local time, moving east until it leaves Newfoundland, Canada, around 5.16pm there

By Leah Crane

8 April 2024

On 8 April , a total solar eclipse will sweep across Mexico, the US and Canada. This kind of eclipse only occurs when the sun and moon line up perfectly in the sky so the moon covers the entire disc of the sun, casting a shadow on Earth. The path that this shadow takes as it rushes across the ground at speeds in excess of 2400 kilometres per hour is called the path of totality, and during this eclipse it will pass from Mexico’s west coast, up across 13 US states and through Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland in Canada. At any given location, totality will last between about 90 seconds and nearly 4.5 minutes.

Solar Eclipse 2024

On 8 April a total solar eclipse will pass over Mexico, the US and Canada. Our special series is covering everything you need to know, from how and when to see it to some of the weirdest eclipse experiences in history.

During this time, the sky will be dark as twilight and temperatures will drop up to 10 degrees. Viewers will be able to remove their eclipse glasses – crucial during the partial phase of the eclipse – and look directly at the sun as it is covered by the moon. This coverage renders the sun’s outermost layer, the corona, visible. During other times, it is too dim to see in the glare of sunlight. Total solar eclipses like this one are valuable times for researchers studying the sun, and they have led to enormous scientific advances over the years.

Excellent tour Sergio (Guide) & Felix (Driver) made sure that everything ran smoothly and all the locations and sites were seen and enjoyed. All the hotels were perfect with the exception of the Holiday Inn Express which requires desperate maintenance as the bedrooms were very outdated the showers did not work properly and only one lift was working and that kept breaking down trapping several guests on a number of occasions including guests in our tour. I would suggest changing this hotel to a more suitable one.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Mexico

An excellent tour to appreciate and learn about the Mayan civilisation. Very happy to have done this. Miguel is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide with a good sense of humour. We felt very safe in the hands of our driver, Edgar. All of the hotels were decent and centrally located. We had a minor issue with the airport transfer to the hotel as we didn’t see anyone holding out a sign with our name. The assistance contact number provided by Destination Services was useless, no one answered when we called. Luckily we had the number of the guide, he helped us find the right guy in the busy Cancun airport!
Mexico was amazing. Mexico City, Puebla and Oaxaca were such great places to visit and eat. Huatulco was a bit touristy and cruise ship town for my liking. The food, markets, arts and sightseeing were totally worth it. I would recommend arriving early and staying on after to visit thermal springs or tour bays and waterfalls.
Generally very interesting, quite well organized, hotels decent (by general Latin American standards), and food good. Guides a mixed bag - some barely speak, others are a wealth of info. All kept us safe though, which is most important in this area. One guide unfortunately made an offhand racist comment towards the end of his tour, which unfortunately colored our whole perception of his commentary. I spoke with him about this and he did not apologize, but agreed to rethink his opinion. I've traveled to over 60 countries and unfortunately this is just something you encounter every now and then. In general I recommend the tour.

Watch: Livestream of today’s solar eclipse in totality

Live footage of the rare total solar eclipse from torreon, mexico.

video tour of mexico

By Margaret Darby

The highly-anticipated solar eclipse is finally here.

On Monday afternoon, the moon will pass between the sun and the earth, obscuring the face of the sun and creating an effect of nighttime at midday.

The rare cosmic event has a narrow path of totality. This path will begin in the U.S. in southwest Texas, pass through 10 more states then finish its U.S. tour in Maine, per NASA.

For those experiencing the eclipse in totality, “The sky will darken, as if it were dawn or dusk. Weather permitting, people in the path of a total solar eclipse can see the Sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere, which is otherwise usually obscured by the bright face of the Sun,” per NASA .

In zones of partial totality, the sun, moon and Earth are not perfectly lined up. Only a portion of the Sun will be obscured, giving it a crescent shape. In Utah, the eclipse will be about 50% totality, according to the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City.

Watch: Livestream of the solar eclipse in totality

Starting at 11 a.m. MDT, Deseret News will provide a livestream of the solar eclipse in totality. The video coverage is from Torreon, Mexico.
