What people say

"The Plaza de la Constitución (or El Zócalo) is the central plaza of the city surrounded by the National Palace and other important government buildings. This is an important site for Mexico, both currently and historically. There are many events (fairs, carnivals, parades, concerts, etc.) that take place in El Zócalo throughout the year. "
Fernanda Cortina
"Also known as Plaza de la Constitución, it is one of the largest squares in the world and a significant cultural and social hub of Mexico. It is surrounded by some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace, and the Templo Mayor. "
Chad and Claire
"This is a beautiful plaza with a fantastic view of the cathedral. If you happen to visit Mexico City for Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), you definitely can't miss this spot. They decorate the plaza with lights, flowers, and festive sculptures!"
