Belles Artes and Artisan’s Market – Mexico City Day 7

This morning we enjoyed a marvelous breakfast buffet in the rooftop restaurant at our hotel.

After breakfast we walked to the Palácio de Bellas Artes (Palace of Fine Arts). We looked through the art exhibits and took an architecture and history tour. The construction of the building was interrupted by the Mexican revolution (1910-1920). As a result the architecture of the exterior is classical and the interior is beautiful Art Deco.

Next we visited the nearby Artisanal Market. It was fun to browse. We bought a few souvenirs.

For dinner we went to Café De Tacuba. We had the best meal of the trip. They serve authentic Mexican regional food. It was excellent. And a wonderful quintet sang us a love song!
