Since the pandemic the tourism hasn’t come back yet so you can leave at 7-7:30am get an Uber 450 pesos one way for 1-1.5hrs drive to get there. I was walking around the Pyramids at 8:30am with no other tourists. It wasn’t crowded even when other tourists arrived. You cannot climb the pyramids anymore sadly, though I understand the need to preserve them. I had no problems getting an Uber back. Cheaper method to get to the Pyramids is by bus from Autobuses del Norte station. Inside the station, head to Puerta 8. You will find a window selling tickets to ‘Pyramides’ or ‘Zona Arqueologico’

We got a bus from Mexico Norte (Metro station) to Teotihuacan, which cost 102 pesos return, each. (There is a desk that says for the pyramids) We got the 08:01 bus and arrived at 09:00 to see the hot air balloons flying over the pyramids. The bus drops you off at Puerta 2 (nearest the Pyramid of the Sun) and the return bus stopped on the other side of the road from Puerta 2. There were queues for the return bus and it was almost full, so make sure to account for that. The pyramids are incredible, and we think were better than Chichen Itzah. Get there early to beat the crowds. Bring plenty of water and a hat as there is little shade. There is a platform you can climb near the Temple of the Moon and you can climb the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, although the steps are very steep and there is no hand rail. It was amazing, definitely recommend.

I came here with a tour group and a Mexican archeologist. Teotihuacan started in 180AD and is known as the place where men become gods. The avenue of the dead was interesting, and it is a long walk to the large pyramid, so ensure you wear sunscreen, wear a hat, and have water. I found the pyramids tour was informative, however I felt rushed at the end and when the tour operator only gave us limited time to explore our own, as it wasn’t enough time. This was the most frustrating thing, is when the tour operator limits the time at an attraction! There are hawkers everywhere, however if you can, purchase your gifts from the genuine artists on site, you may need a tour operator to help you identify them.

Truly an amazing, lifetime experience. I can’t add anything that hasn’t been said on the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, but DO be sure to keep going the other way from the Pyramid of the Moon along the Avenue of the Dead, past the Pyramid of the Sun and way on down to the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. Along the way, be sure to find the area where they expose the layers of building at Teotihuacan, as this is utterly fascinating. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is not as visited — many probably don’t even know it’s there, and others are deterred by the long walk (it’s probably a mile each way). But it is well worth the trip and really amazing to see — equally as impressive as the two main attraction pyramids in my book. Also along the way between the Pyramid of the Sun and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, you can take a side trip to the Museo, which is pretty good. Some of it will be redundant if you’ve been to the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Chapultepec, but it’s still worthwhile and probably a must-visit if you haven’t yet made it to the anthropology museum (which you must, of course, do). Stunning, amazing site. We spent the whole day here with a side trip to La Gruta, the cave restaurant outside of the gate by the Museo. I recommend going to La Gruta for the added experience. All around one of the best days of my life

we went to teotihuacan with the same guide who introduced us to the historic center, we spent the whole day getting to know the Aztec wonders! I think it's important to have a private guide, not to go with excursions that leave only 1h or 1h 1/2 in the ruins and the rest of the day by bus! again the guide ISRAEL MENDOZA introduced us and made us dive in the historical fetalhes! It was worth the fair price and we love it! I recommend the guide! sensational experience!!!

There are places that transcend reviews. Teotihuacan is one of those places. Instead of throwing words at it to try to express my awe, I'll simply offer some tips. 1) Shell out the money and do the sunrise hot air balloon. In addition to providing views that are impossible to get any other way, you get to see the sites before they're covered in tourists, and it's a sacred, peaceful experience. 2) Hire a guide. In addition to the main city, ours took us to the surrounding caves and other sites, which NO ONE else was at. Well worth the money. 3) As of February 2023, you can NOT climb the sun pyramid. The steps are closed for refurbishment. Our guide said they should open up again in 8 months or so.

Came here on a day trip from Mexico City and it was a wonderful experience. The sheer size and scale of the place cannot be really understood unless you actually come here and see it for yourself. I have been to most of the wonders of the world and this is up there with them.

Important! Site not fully reopened!!! Teotihuacan is one of the great archeological sites. Unfortunately, in March 2023 Mexico is still using COVID as an excuse to keep important parts of archeological sites and museums closed. They are not letting people climb the pyramid. And the temple at the north entrance ... I believe it is the Templo De Los Caracoles Emplumados ... is closed. That is a very significant part of the visit with some fascinating murals. I have been to Teotihuacan many times and this was the most disappointing visit. If you are planning to travel here from a long distance, I suggest waiting until they get things sorted. I would normally rate the site 5 stars, but I am docking 1 star for each closure.

Not having much time for grand pyramid tours throughout the country, this was our introduction to the arachaeology of Mexico. It was very easy to get to on public transport. You really don't have to go on an organised tour (metro then bus). Very cheap that way, too. We went early, before most of the buses arrived, and were greeted by the balloon flights. A very interesting area - but people have written about that. We would add that, having made our own way there we were then able to take a quick bus trip back (also walkable) to the small town of Teotihuacan, which was very picturesque, with a great market and interesting cafes. Well worth the visit. 2-3 hours at the Archaeological area. More to include the town.

The most evident change since our last time here is that visitors can no longer climb the pyramids. The area was built about the year 600 and centered around the Avenue of the Dead. The Avenue of the Dead is flanked by temples and palaces. We began our tour at the patio of the Four Temples, then continued to the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun. About half way between is a recessed area with a fresco of a puma. The Pyramid of the Sun is built over an ancient cave site and is the third largest pyramid in the world.
