Fantastic site...pyramids as impressive as Egypt (and I've seen LOTS if pyramids and ruins!). NOTE: since COVID you can no longer climb pyramids. Definitely worth having a guide. Also take or buy a hat and sunscreen (with global warming, Teotihuacàn is sunny and hot almost every day, even in winter). Souvenirs and hats are cheaper at the site entrances than at the tequila tastings/obsidian workahops/restaurants outside the site.

What a magical place. Probably hypocritical to say but they need to do a bit more in terms of conservation. There are probably too many souvenir vendors in the grounds but they're not aggressive. You'll need a few hours to see all the corners of the archaeological zone and don't forget to bring a hat.

This is one of the premier archaeological sites in Mexico, home to a significant (if enigmatic) civilisation that was later revered by the Aztecs (Mexica). Unfortunately, I found it rather a disappointment. A huge amount of what is left is actually reconstruction, and there has been a fair bit of damage done by archaeologists, involving dynamite and entirely fanciful new additions. There is almost no information around the site, so without a guide it will make no sense (we were part of a tour, so had our own guide with us who was excellent and brought some life to the place). Others bemoan that you can no longer climb the pyramids, but to me that was an advantage, as it at least preserved something of the mystery of the site and helped with conservation. The number of sellers in the main avenue, many selling ‘jaguar call whistles’, made for a pretty frustrating experience as well. Compared to many other sites in Mexico, there is a lot of work to do here.

(Translated by Google) Sometime in your life you have to visit this unique archaeological site in the world, with its most iconic attractions such as the "pyramid" of the sun and the moon, as well as the road of the dead. If you want some crafts, I recommend that you value prices with the different vendors since prices change and do not be fooled by people who try to sell supposed original pieces! (Original) Alguna vez en la vida se tiene que visitar este lugar arqueológico único en el mundo, con sus atractivos más icónicos como lo son la “pirámide” del sol y la luna, así como la calzada de los muertos. Si quieres alguna artesanía recomiendo que valores precios con los diferentes vendedores ya que cambian los precios y no te dejes engañar por personas que intentan vender supuestas piezas originales!!!

Interesting place. But not that much to see. Better to go with a guide. And take time and reach the end of the walley. With entresting pyramid with heads in the very end.

Honestly is not my favorite archeological spot, I always enter by Puerta 5 because I start my trip in El Templo de Quetzalcoatl and walk all the Calzada de los Muertos, visiting La piramide del sol and La piramide de la luna. Im always in a hurry, but I will really like to hear a little bit more about the history of this place, and the short texts nesr the structures are no longer visible 😔

Incredible, wonderful, easy to get. HIGHLY recommend to take a tour.

Simply wow! Must use a guide.

It’s a must if you come to Mexico City. Drive is about an hour

(Translated by Google) The Archaeological Zone of Teotihuacan is spectacular, it has several entrances and several parking lots. It is advisable to arrive early as at 9 because of the sun. Your complete tour with the museums lasts around 3 hours. It has an interior restaurant but around the archaeological zone there are endless restaurants. It is advisable to bring water and money to buy handicrafts, a sun hat and sunscreen, and dark glasses. On Sundays the entrance is free. Fortunately soon it will no longer be possible to climb the pyramids for your protection. (Original) La Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan es espectacular, cuenta con varias entradas y varios estacionamientos. Es recomendable llegar temprano como a las 9 por el sol. Su recorrido completo con los museos dura al rededor de 3 horas. Cuenta con un restaurante interior pero al rededor de la zona arqueológica hay un sin fin de restaurantes. Es recomendable llevar agua y dinero para comprar artesanías, sombrero para el sol y filtro solar, gafas obscuras. Los domingos la estrada es gratuita. Afortunadamente pronto ya no será posible subir a las pirámides para su protección.

Cool area to check out and it has the only pyramid you can currently climb

Nice

Wow! Amazing!!

Great place. This is one of my favorite archeological sites in Mexico. Unfortunately, climbing the pyramids is no longer allowed which was a huge disappointment. Going to the top was definitely one of the highlights of visiting this area in the past. If crowds are an issue they should provide timed passes so that only so many people could go at a given time. There is not much information in general. Mostly descriptions of the building in Spanish, English, and Nahuatl (who reads Nahuatl?) However, there are way too many vendors everywhere. It would be a better experience if vendors were limited to certain areas. We never visited the site museum (honestly, we did not see signs for it). Perhaps more information could have been found there but in general there is no guide. It would be great if there were fliers at the entrance in several languages or better signs. I think they really want you to hire a tour guide but you never know the source/quality of what you get. Another thing that was different this time is that there were people, supposedly from INAH, directing people to an "explanation area" just before Gate 5. It was basically a place to tell you all about the Maguey plant and try to persuade you to buy their artisanal stuff there. It is a shame that INAH does not do a better job at controlling all these people trying to sell you stuff all the time. Bathrooms were okay except thar there is no toilet paper at the stalls. You need to grab what you need at the entrance of the bathroom which promotes more waste. For some reasons people continue to believe that putting toilet paper in the toilet is bad so there are waste baskets. We never had any issues in any toilet by depositing the paper in it. It is more hygienic not to mention it helps reduce the unpleasant bathroom aroma.
