Museo Soumaya
2023 Aug 04
This museum has free entry to the public. The architecture of the building itself is a must see. The white interior adds so much character. The walls and ceiling are white from floor to floor. As we came in, we were directed to a section where we were to check in our bags and water bottles. This first floor is a large open space area with a few large exhibits that caught the attention of the visitors. There is also a souvenir shop in this same floor. We walked up from floor to floor through a spiraled walkway ramp situated around the perimeter of the structure. In the center, at each floor, we found so many collections ranging from coins to artwork to sculptures.
This is a huge park smack in the middle of the city! I loved all the greenery. I was so impressed at how clean it was. There were tons of vendors down walkways set up under their blue tents. Some were selling waters, others street food, and of course others souvenirs. Here, we found the cheapest prices on souvenir t shirts. It closed at dawn and the security guards manning the gates won’t let you in. It’s definitely a must!
Amazing! This museum has so many displays. We were here for three hours and did not get to see the entire museum. It is so large, beautiful and clean with much history.
There is no need to pre purchase your tickets or to even have to hire a tour guide to take you here. It sits on the Chapultepec park. We took an Uber there and it dropped us off right next to the entrance. We just went up a short flight of stairs after turning the corner. We purchased the tickets upon arrival. We had to check in our umbrella bags and water bottles. Then we proceeded to explore the museum.
My son made reservations to this amazing rooftop cocktail bar. The views were amazing! The interior is small and cozy with classy speakeasy style lounge chairs and couches. The views of NYC from this area are great. The drink menu was somewhat intimidating for me being that I am not a typical cocktail drinker. However, the server was very patient in describing what the drinks contained as he added recommendations for me. After visiting the restroom, I made my way to the back section, behind the elevators where I unexpectedly found an outdoor section with even better views compared to those from the other side of the building! The amazing views of the NY skyline are what make this cocktail bar a hit!

We stumbled upon this location as we strolled through the streets of Manhattan. We decided to stop by for a quick lunch and happy hour drinks before heading out to our scheduled engagement. Very spacious corner pub with your typical English vibes and decor.
