Quick answer: There is no official Mexico City pass: no city or museum group bundles tickets, and the Go City Mexico City pass that appeared in 2023–2024 was not on sale at the time of checking (September 2026). That is not a loss, because tickets are cheap: the Museo Nacional de Antropología and Chapultepec Castle cost 210 MXN (~$11) each, Teotihuacán 210 MXN, the Frida Kahlo Museum 320 MXN (timed, sells out), Bellas Artes 95 MXN, and the Soumaya, the Zócalo, the Cathedral and most Sundays at federal museums are free. A full week of paid sights costs under 1,500 MXN (~$80). Spend the money on a guided Teotihuacán morning and a Coyoacán–Xochimilco day instead.
Mexico City Passes at a Glance
| Pass | Price (2026) | Validity | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Official city pass | None | — | — | — |
| Go City Mexico City (Explorer-style, 3–7 choices) | Not available at the time of checking; previously ~$60–140 | 60 days from first use when sold | Listed Teotihuacán and Basilica tour, Frida Kahlo Museum, Xochimilco and Coyoacán tour, lucha libre, Six Flags México, Chapultepec Castle and Anthropology, volcano excursion | If it returns, only tour-heavy visitors |
| “Mexico City Pass” resellers | Bundles of hop-on hop-off Turibus + a museum or tour, ~$40–80 | 1–2 days | Turibus routes plus one or two tickets | Rarely worth it — the Metro and Uber are cheaper than the bus |
| Individual tickets | Most sites 95–320 MXN ($5–17); many free on Sundays for residents and some for all | — | Frida Kahlo online only; others at the door or online | Everyone |
Prices are the foreign-visitor rates checked September 2026; INAH sites (Anthropology, Teotihuacán, Templo Mayor, Chapultepec Castle) charge a flat federal rate and are free on Sundays for Mexican residents. The one ticket that behaves like a scarce pass is the Frida Kahlo Museum: timed, 320 MXN, sold only on its official site and gone two to four weeks ahead.

What the Main Attractions Cost — and Whether the Pass Covers Them
| Attraction | Adult ticket (2026, approx.) | In the pass? | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Museo Nacional de Antropología | 210 MXN (~$11) | No pass | Closed Mondays; a full morning |
| Chapultepec Castle (Museo Nacional de Historia) | 210 MXN | No pass | Closed Mondays; the terrace views |
| Teotihuacán (entry) | 210 MXN | No pass (tours ~$30–60 with transport) | Go at 8 am opening; climbing the pyramids is no longer allowed |
| Museo Frida Kahlo (Casa Azul) | 320 MXN (~$17), timed | No pass | Official site only; book 2–4 weeks ahead |
| Templo Mayor | ~100 MXN | No pass | Next to the Cathedral |
| Palacio de Bellas Artes (murals) | 95 MXN | No pass | Free views of the exterior and the Tiffany curtain on show days |
| Museo Soumaya | Free | — | Polanco; the Rodin collection |
| Xochimilco trajinera | ~750 MXN per boat per hour (shared among the group) | No pass | Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas is the classic |
| Museo Anahuacalli (Diego Rivera) | ~100 MXN | No pass | Combined ticket with Casa Azul is sometimes offered |
| Torre Latinoamericana observation deck | ~200 MXN | No pass | Sunset |
| Turibus hop-on hop-off | ~250–300 MXN per day | Reseller bundles | Slow in traffic |
| Zócalo, Cathedral, Coyoacán, Roma-Condesa, Chapultepec Park, Sunday cycling on Reforma | Free | — | The heart of the city costs nothing |
Every paid sight on the list, done once, comes to roughly 1,500–1,700 MXN (about $80–90), and a typical four-day visit uses half of that. There is simply nothing for a pass to discount; the money in Mexico City goes on guides, transport to Teotihuacán and a good boat at Xochimilco.
The Break-Even Maths
| Itinerary | Individual tickets | Pass | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic 3 days: Anthropology + Castle + Frida Kahlo + Teotihuacán + Templo Mayor | ~1,050 MXN (~$55) | No pass exists | Buy individually; book Frida Kahlo first |
| Teotihuacán by tour vs on your own | Tour ~$30–60 pp incl. entry vs ~$15 on the bus + 210 MXN | — | Tour wins for the early start and a guide; bus wins on price |
| Reseller Turibus + one museum bundle | Turibus ~280 MXN + museum 210 MXN = ~490 MXN | Bundle ~$40–80 (~800–1,600 MXN) | Individual tickets win easily |
| Everything paid, once each, over a week | ~1,600 MXN (~$85) | — | Still under $90 — no pass could beat it |
| Guided day: Teotihuacán morning + Coyoacán and Xochimilco afternoon | ~$80–150 pp | — | Where the money is best spent |
The break-even conversation does not apply in Mexico City. What changes the value of a trip is a guide who makes Teotihuacán and the murals make sense, and a well-planned museum schedule around Monday closures and the Frida Kahlo timed slots.

Who Should Buy It
If the Go City Mexico City pass returns, consider it only if you want its tour items — Teotihuacán with the Basilica, Xochimilco and Coyoacán, lucha libre — as guided experiences rather than tickets, and price it against booking those tours separately. Otherwise the “pass” to buy is a Frida Kahlo timed ticket the day you know your dates.
Who Should Skip It
Skip every reseller “Mexico City Pass” bundle: the Turibus is slow and the Metro costs 5 MXN. Skip any product that claims to include Frida Kahlo tickets without a specific date and time — those are the tickets that sell out, and no bundle can conjure them.
How to Get the Most Out of It
Plan around closures: INAH museums close Mondays, Casa Azul closes Mondays and needs an online slot, and Sundays are crowded with free-entry locals. Do Anthropology and the Castle on one Chapultepec day, the Centro (Templo Mayor, Bellas Artes, the murals) on another, Teotihuacán at 8 am with a guide, and Coyoacán–Xochimilco together, sharing a trajinera to split the hourly boat price.
Guided Alternatives
A small-group sunrise Teotihuacán tour, a Coyoacán and Xochimilco day, and a street-food walk in the Centro or Roma are the three most-booked Mexico City experiences on Viator; see private vs small-group tours in Mexico City for the format choice.
