Visiting Teotihuacan in 2023: Tickets & Tips, Guided Tours & Day Trips

Teotihuacán has been captivating people for many years. The vast settlement with its stepped pyramids, temples and platforms lining a central ‘avenue of the dead’ so impressed the Aztecs they named it the place where gods were created. We are still intrigued, and archaeologists continue to debate who built this ancient city. Not surprisingly then, at only 50km northeast of Mexico City Teotihuacán is the most visited site in Mexico. The journey out to the archaeological site only takes about an hour, and can be done using public or private transport, but many opt for a day-trip. Whatever your preference, we provide all the necessary information you need to visit Teotihuacán.
