Getting there

Take Metro Line 2 or 8 to Bellas Artes and walk out beside Alameda Central. Navigate to the museum or theatre entrance for the ticket you hold.

Admission

The museum’s entry and performances use separate tickets. Check exhibition days and book a particular performance ahead if it is the purpose of your visit.

What to see

Start outside on the plaza, then go inside if the murals or current exhibitions interest you. The adjacent Alameda Central is an easy next stop.

Plan your visit

Check the schedule for the specific galleries you want to see. Pair this with a walk to the Zócalo rather than rushing both stops.

Allow about one to two hours for the museum, and look for the murals as well as the temporary exhibitions. Walk through Alameda Central afterward.
