Latin-American Tower (Torre Latinoamericana)
The Basics
While many travelers stop by the Latin-American Tower to visit the observation deck or restaurant-bar, Miralto, this 45-story building is also home to the Bicentennial Museum (Museo del Bicentenario) and the Mexico City History Museum (Museo de la Ciudad de México). Entry to the latter is included when purchasing observation deck admission tickets. Many multi-day city pass tickets offer access to the observation deck, while most historic center sightseeing or food tours will pass by the towering exterior of the Torre Latinoamericana.

How to Get There

There are underground parking lots nearby, but heavy traffic generally makes it easier to arrive by public transit or on foot. The closest metro stations are Bellas Artes (Green and Blue Lines), San Juan de Letrán (Green Line), and Allende (Blue Line).

When to Get There
The Torre Latinoamericana observation deck is typically open daily from 9am to 10pm. Miralto is also open daily although hours vary so check in advance; however, it generally stays open later on Friday and Saturday nights. For the best views, choose a clear, smog-free day and time your visit for just before sunset to enjoy panoramic views over Mexico City by both day and night.
Nearby Attractions
The Latin-American Tower is surrounded by several other worthwhile attractions, including the art nouveau Palace of Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes). There, marvel over murals in the art deco interior or catch a show. Afterwards, spend some time people-watching in the leafy Alameda Central, visit the Franz Mayer Museum, or stroll over to the Monument to the Revolution (Monumento a la Revolución).
