Full UNAM Immersion: Art, Architecture & Student Life
Overview
Our route continues into the Cultural Zone, with highlights such as the National Library of Mexico, the Nezahualcóyotl Concert Hall, and the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), architectural landmarks that make Ciudad Universitaria unique.
Most of the tour is on foot, but we may also ride the Pumabús, the free shuttle that connects the main areas of the university. Uber is another option if needed, though the campus is designed to be comfortably explored without it.
This is not a formal lecture: I’m a postgraduate student at UNAM, and I’ll show you the places I find most beautiful and meaningful, sharing stories from everyday student life. To end, I’ll suggest a hidden restaurant beneath the MUAC, a stylish spot with one of the most impressive vibes on the campus, perfect for relaxing and enjoying after the tour.
This activity includes:
- Sala Nezahualcoyotl
- The Islands
- UNAM Faculty of Law
- University Museum of Contemporary Art
- Guided walking tour inside Ciudad Universitaria (UNAM)
- Explanations about art, architecture & student life
Our Guides
On arrival
The easiest way to arrive is by Uber or taxi directly to Rectoría, Ciudad Universitaria. The meeting point is at the stairs facing Las Islas, right next to the Rectoría building. If you prefer public transport, take Metro Universidad (Line 3, green line) and then the free Pumabús shuttle (Route 1) to Rectoría / Las Islas. For those who would rather not enter the campus alone, we can also meet directly at Metro Universidad station, and from there, I’ll guide you in.
Don’t worry about recognizing me. I’ll be in touch on WhatsApp before the tour, and I’ll make sure we can easily find each other.
Things to note
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water, as we’ll be outdoors most of the time.
There will be plenty of opportunities for great photos, so come in comfortable attire, but also feel free to dress up if you’d like to take nice pictures.
Consider sunscreen or a hat, especially on sunny days.
The tour is offered in English and Spanish.
Most of the sites are outdoors and free to access; no tickets are required.
The campus is very large, but the route is designed to be comfortable. We may use the free Pumabús shuttle for longer distances.
At the end of the tour, I can recommend a hidden restaurant in the Cultural Zone, a perfect place to relax after the walk (food and drinks not included).
This experience is not a formal lecture. I’m a postgraduate student at UNAM, sharing my favorite spaces and stories from everyday student life.
