    a great day trip: we went early Monday morning (perhaps why it was not as crowded). bring a hat and sunglasses and sunscreen. start with the Sun, then walk your way to the Temple, then the Moon last.

    Bring a hat and comfy shoes as well as sun screen. You will want to walk around and climb the pyramids. Do it early otherwise it gets very hot! Also you will get better pictures without too many ppl.

    Well worth the 40 minute drive from the city, the bus is super cheap. We walked in the back way for less crowds and went straight to the temple of the moon instead of heading to the temple of the sun

    This is not a place to pass up! Some of the most incredible pyramids I have ever seen. Be sure to bring sunblock, water, and a hat or scarf as it is hot

    You must see it! The city of the gods is a sight to behold at least once in a lifetime. It does worth seen it with a private guide, groups looks just too crowed

    If you go to Mexico City on vacation & don't visit this place, you should kick yourself. Simply amazing. Take sunscreen even if it's cloudy!! You can Uber here but will have to cover tolls.

    Arrive early to escape the heat and the crowds. Go to the Tetitla Atetelco cooperative for best quality local products and explanation of how they are made.

    Do the hot air balloons + tour if you can. It requires an early morning wake up but well worth it.

    I love that there are still places we don't almost nothing about it. Steps in the big pyramid are kind of uncomfortable so pick good shoes. 10 minutes walk on the top - maximum!

    Awsome trip. I would definitely go back. Make sure you bargain with the folks selling souvenirs. If not walk away and get it somewhere else. There are plenty of vendors.

    If you are in the mood for hiking and history, two of the biggest pyramids in México are about two hours away by car, or you can take a bus that brings you there and back.

    It is a great place. Try to find a quiet place to look at the grandeuse of everything. Run away from the vendors.

    Don't forget that sun can burn when you climb the pyramid of the sun. Bring sun lotion por favor.
