One of the Most Reviewed Historical landmarks in Mexico City
Plaza de la República is a must-visit location in Mexico City, offering stunning views and a glimpse into Mexican history. While the climb to the top can be challenging, the panoramic vistas are well worth the effort. Best visited in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset.
The monument has a museum, a cafe, and observation decks. There is a fee to take the elevator up (60 pesos). Consider taking the stairs down to view historical exhibits on each floor. The final ascent involves narrow spiral stairs, not suitable for those with claustrophobia.

The place is amazing, I have to say. It's not your regular Museam. It's a great place to not only take the family, but you can also go out on a date. The place is very clean, and safe. Enjoy.
Such a beautiful place. You have to stop and take some pictures there. Now they have a museum inside the building
Sadly it was closed off at the time due to Covid and a protest that was about to take place However, still a wonderful site and much was to be learned from its history! The building was supposed to be similar to the White House but funding was taken away during the construction process. In order to salvage what was still there, the land was instead used as a plaza and underground there is a museum where you can learn more about the meaning behind the monument :)
A nice gathering area with à water feature when it's on. This square has vendors selling odds and ends. There was also à carnival going on...
This place gives amazing view of the city. Though the top floor is not that high, and some of the surrounding building is higher than the top floor. You can pay 60 pesos and take an elevator to go to the top or you can take stairs . We took elevator while going up and stairs while coming down As each floor has chronicled with history of Mexico and Mexico City in general. Must visit this place. Though one can go over to top and have a look at the sunset.
It is a self-guided tour, you begin by going down to see the foundation and they do have displays that show the history as well as some interesting facts. Once you're done with that, you go back up where they take your picture in front of a green screen (you see the pictures at the end of the tour). The next stop is taking the glass elevator to the mid level where you climb down some stairs to the 360° view (you walk around to view the city in all directions); they do have a cafe with chairs and tables where you can sit, relax and enjoy the views. There is a higher level to see better views of the city, but it requires going up a bunch of spiral narrow stairs cases, and some parts don't have much space, so if you're claustrophobic, just be prepared. Climbing up those stairs is pretty tiring, so if you're not in the greatest shape, just be prepared as well. Once you make it to the top, it's all worth it, awesome views.
Beautiful panoramic view of the city and the sunset from atop the monument. The climb of the last portion of it could be a little intimidating for some people. To go up that last part you have to use a narrow spiral stairs in a very limited space but the view makes it worthy.
One of the most iconic places in Mexico City, with el Monumento a la Revolución, of wich you may take awesome pics, during the day there's a show of fountains in front of the momuent, at night it gets some very cool lights, check it out!
Most beautiful at night, this is a glorious tribute to "la revolucion" and is one of my favorite places in CDMX. Many dining options from calle to terrazas. Great museum too. Take the ride up!
