"What's this place about? Located on the outskirts of Mexico City proper, at the National Autonomous University of Mexico campus, the Sculpture Park is totally off the tourist track. Featuring a range of grand outdoor sculptures, the park is best explored by foot. What should we make sure to see? The sculpture space, which looks like a giant crater, is one the top things to spot. It's built around lava (which can be seen in the center) and has wonderful views from the ledge. What's the best way to get around? Because it's in a tree-filled garden, spend the afternoon wandering the space with no agenda. You'll stumble upon numerous interesting sculptures. All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? Even if you don't love art or sculptures, the garden is still a lovely place to spend a few hours." - Mary Holland
