Museo Templo Mayor is the museum built around the excavated remains of the main temple of the Mexica capital, in the historic centre of Mexico City. It is an archaeological site and museum in one: you walk among the foundations of the pyramid and its surrounding buildings, then move indoors to see the objects found there, from stone sculptures to offerings. Visitors come for the scale of the ruins and for the way the museum explains a city that lies under the present one. It sits in the Cuauhtemoc area of Mexico City, close to the Zócalo, so a visit fits easily into a day of walking the centre. The altitude of 2,240 metres is real, and the site_text advises keeping day one light and drinking water. From June to September, rain usually arrives in a two-hour burst in the afternoon, while mornings are generally fine.
