Discover Ciudad Universitaria through the eyes of an architect. This small-group tour offers a more personal and engaging way to explore one of Mexico City’s most important cultural and architectural landmarks. With my professional background in architecture, I go beyond the usual highlights to reveal the ideas, materials, urban planning, and artistic details that make this UNESCO World Heritage site so remarkable. You will gain insight into the collaboration between Mexico’s leading architects, artists, and engineers, including the iconic murals and public spaces that define the campus. Because the experience is limited to small groups, there is plenty of time for questions, conversation, and a flexible pace. Whether you are passionate about architecture, art, history, or simply want to experience Ciudad Universitaria in a deeper way, this tour provides an informed and authentic perspective.
We will visit the exterior of the Estadio Olímpico Universitario to admire its murals made of volcanic stone, accompanied by a brief explanation of the conceptual and construction design process.
We will take a walk through the Botanical Garden, which features a wide variety of Mexican flora from both tropical and temperate climates.
We will walk around the exterior of the Rectoría building, with a brief explanation of its exterior murals.
We will admire the exterior of the Central Library, featuring mosaics made with fragments sourced from Taxco, along with an explanation of the murals created by Juan O’Gorman and the stories they represent.

Excellent experience at University City. The tour was very interesting and I learned a lot about the architecture, the murals, and the history of the UNAM. Oscar knows the place very well and explains everything in a clear and enjoyable way. I loved discovering details that easily go unnoticed when visiting CU on your own. I definitely recommend this tour to those who enjoy the art, architecture, and history of Mexico.
Excellent tour of University City. Oscar explained the architecture of the buildings and the meaning of their impressive murals to us in a very interesting way. An ideal experience to get to know CU from another perspective. Highly recommended!
A fascinating experience to discover the architecture, art, and murals of University City at the hands of the architect Oscar.

An enjoyable, cultural, and different tour, ideal for those who want to get to know UNAM beyond its impressive murals.
