The Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City's iconic cultural hub, is generally accessible with ramps and elevators, though some areas may involve stairs; it's mostly wheelchair-friendly. Visitors can explore independently, but guided tours are highly recommended for a deeper understanding of its architecture, history, and famous murals. Open year-round and typically closed on Mondays, it's best to visit early to avoid crowds. Standard entrance fees are moderate (e.g., 80-100 MXN), with significantly higher costs for special exhibitions or performances like opera and ballet. A typical visit lasts 1.5 to 3 hours to appreciate the building, the stunning murals by Diego Rivera and others, and the magnificent Tiffany stained-glass curtain; photography without flash is usually permitted.
