Palacio de Bellas Artes (Fine Arts Palace) is a cultural venue located in the Historic Downtown of Mexico City. Is considered the most important venue in the manifestation of the arts in the country and one of the most renowned opera houses in the world.
It has been witness of shocking artistic, social and political events. Former president Porfirio Díaz ordered the construction in 1910 in order to celebrate 100 years of Mexico’s independence of 1810. But it was inaugurated until november 29, 1934. One year and two months after the inauguration of the Mexican Company of Lucha Libre. But we will talk about that in another post.
Inside you can find numerous stages, halls and a couple of museums. And you can find permanently up to 17 murals painted by recognized mexican artists like Diego Rivera (Frida Kahlo’s husband), David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco.
Palacio de Bellas Artes is our meeting spot because of the location, the popularity of the venue among locals and tourists, and considering also the easy way you can get there in Uber, Taxi or public transportation.
The main entrance is located in Juarez Avenue, one of the most importants driveways in Mexico’s City Historic Downtown. If you get here in Metro (name of the subway system in Mexico City), Bellas Artes has a station that covers two lines of the subway system. The closest the de venue belongs to Line 2 (the blue one) and has a connection to Line 8 (the green one).
If you book an experience with us, the date and time of our meeting you will find me in front of the main entrance. Just look for the only masked man on the venue.
