What people say

"The Palacio de Bellas Artes, or Palace of Fine Arts, is one of Mexico City's most iconic landmarks and cultural institutions. Located in the heart of the city, it is renowned for its stunning architecture, which combines Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and neoclassical styles. The building houses a theater and museum, featuring works by some of Mexico's most celebrated artists, such as Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo. The theater is also home to the National Symphony Orchestra and the Mexican Folk Ballet, which regularly perform for audiences from around the world. Entry is 90 pesos and you can pay with a credit card. I've heard that you should go to Sears (the dept store) across the street as they have a cafe on the 8th floor where you can get a great view of Bellas Artes."
