UNESCO listed it as World Heritage in 2007. This is the largest university campus in the world, and contains not only 350.000 students, but numerous works of monumental art, museums, theaters, auditoriums, botanical gardens, zoos, etc. A whole city with transportation, hospitals, libraries, and every service students may need. One of my favorite places in the campus is the Espacio... More

This is Mexico's largest and most important public university - worth a visit! Make sure you run by the MUAC (Museo de Arte Contemporaneo) and eat lunch at "Azul y Oro" More

University City or Ciudad Universitaria is a large complex of the UNAM. It houses the main building, which has been declared as World Heritage Site, by UNESCO, a really worthy place to see.

MUAC, the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporaneo opened in a unique building recently right on the CU campus at the cultural corridor. From there, you can walk a nature walk, see a concert, etc. Lots of nice people jogging, roller skating, biking on a weekend. Well worth the visit. More
