What travelers say:
The Great Temple is located next to the central square and is a super convenient attraction. The original temple has been destroyed by Spanish colonists. The existing only towers and stone steps are still amazing.

The Great Temple is located next to the central square and is a super convenient attraction. The original temple has been destroyed by Spanish colonists. The existing only towers and stone steps are still amazing.
This semi-explored ruin has clear English and Spanish instructions, this is an important historical monument, very worth seeing. It is worth noting that there are many stairs to go up and down here, which is more difficult for people with limited mobility.
The devastated Teokari Temple of Transportation: 📍 is located in the northeast corner of Constitution Square. Take the subway to Zocalo, which is the Constitution Square Station. (By the way, it is worth mentioning that the sign of the subway station is a variety of patterns. Even if you are not familiar with the place of life, you will never get off the wrong station.) 🎫 Tickets: 70 pesos include the outdoor temple site and the indoor temple unearthed cultural relics 🔺 outdoor exhibition hall is the site of the Teokari temple that is only left with the tower and stone steps. This is really a blood and tears complaint to the Spanish invaders, and the Aztec civilization has since gone down. 🔺 The interior includes 8 theme pavilions plus 1 sub-pavilion, witnessing the gradual development and growth of the Aztec civilization, and then from the rise to the decline. 🛕 Opening hours: closed on Monday, 9:00 from Tuesday to Sunday ~ 17:00 📝 Play tips: Drinks and food cannot be entered, you need to discard or store at the electronic security checkpoint, and storage is free. Remember to retrieve the storage after the visit. 🔸 Feature recommendation: 1⃣️ strange sculptures and relief murals of gods and beasts. 2⃣️ Ingeniously designed living utensils 3⃣️ Porcelain made by the Daming Jiajingnian Minyao who has crossed the sea. ⌚️ Suggested time for visit: 1.5~ 2 hours The day we visited was Tuesday noon, and the visitors in the venue were a handful. It was a friendly time to visit.
I love this place, every time my foreign friends come to visit Mexico City we make sure to visit Templo Mayor to learn more about Mexican history, besides that, is centrally located and next to other attractions which can be fun for a whole day visiting Mexico City downtown.
The Grand Temple is one of my favorite attractions. Although the Grand Temple and the city of Teochititland have sunk to the ground because of the disappearance of Lake Tekoko, the site gives us a glimpse of the past. The Museum of the Great Temple is doing very well, and its collection of cultural relics is as rich as the National Anthropological Museum. It is suggested that we reserve a day for this scenic spot.
