Try restaurante Bellini at the top of the World Trade Center, spinning restaurant, incomparable view, dress up a little and bring some money cuz it’s a little expensive but totally worth it
This is a royal castle,but also in Mexico exist royal palaces and mansions, you should visit Palacio de Iturbide, Palacio Nacional, Antiguo Palacio del Ayuntamiento,Palacio de los condes de Miravalle, Palacio de los Condes de Santiago de Calimaya(Museo de la ciudad de Mexico), Palacio del Conde de Buenavista (Museo de San Carlos), Palacio de los condes de San Mateo de Valparaíso . All them were ancient palaces inhabited by the spanish royality . Also exists ancient mansions that were inhabited by spanish bourgeoisie. I recommend you visit these places. You can find all them in downtown Mexico city.Good luck.
What Victor meant when he said "The Only European Castle in America" I believe he wanted to say: "The Only Royal European Castle on North America", meaning that the Castle hosted actual European royalty rulers whom lived and served in it in all of North America. Disambiguation: In Spanish the word America is used to refer to the Continent and we only consider it to be One single continent and not two as commonly conceived in the US and Canada (north and south america). It is what in the US will be The Americas (plural) which in Spanish means the collective of the american countries. So Victor was correct by expressing himself using the term: America, but I fear some viewers might be confused.

I was there in 2014. You need more than a day to see this castle of where Maximillian & Carlotta resided. Humongous amounts of jewelry, clocks watches, necklaces on display from back then. They have old time cannons, Gatlin guns rifles, pistols, paintings, the old transportation carriages, dining rooms set in their original settings. So much to see. Down the road from there is the museum where the Aztec Calendar is located along with hundreds of artwork from the Aztecs. Not to mention a replica of Moctezuma's headdress since the original finally decomposed while on loan to Germany (As I was told by someone there)
Great video. Some info on the Castle...the Aztec emperors used to go there for the summers when it got too hot, the Spanish then built a sort of fort up there to defend the city from indigenous attacks, it then became a military bastion during the war of Independence, when the Second Empire was formed (After the Cinco de Mayo battle of Puebla, for reference), Maximilian von Hapsburg (From the Austrian Hapsburg Royal family) was crowned Emperor of Mexico along with his wife, Empress Charlotte from the Belgian Royal Family. EMperor Maximilian decided to convert the fortress into a Royal Palace on top of Chapultepec Hill, but it didn't really fit the dimensions of a Palace so it was renamed the Miravalle Castle during his reign....he opened up avenues like Reforma (Avenida de la Emperatriz), opened up hospitals, gave workers rights, brought in skilled immigrants from Europe to populate and mix with the now mexican population, among many things. Emperor Maximilian loved Mexico, but was brought to Mexico on a basis of lies by a Mexican conservative delegation and the French Emperor Napoleon III who wanted to create a Latin world influence to counter the Anglo-American and British expansions into the Americas. The French Emperor was the first to coin Latin America (The parts of America influenced by the Latin Eruopean countries such as Spain, France, Portugal and with Italian influences through immigration). Brasil has a Royal Palace and Mexico has a Royal Castle.
The statue you saw after loosing Victor is José Maria Morelos y Pavón. He was one of the fighters during the independence of Mexico. He lead the independence movement after Miguel Hidalgo, the priest who started it, was executed. He is also known for establishing the initial ideas that shaped the country: like abolishing slavery, law applied to everyone without privileges, division of power, etc. Google "Sentimientos de la nación" if you are interested in them.
oh gosh ! I'm feeling homesick watching your video, that was a really good video, I remember being inside the Castillo de Chapultepec, back in the 90's and still looks the same, incredible, thanks for making me remember my old city.
The Chapultepec Castle Is the only one Royal Castle in this continent which was built for the Emperor Maximiliano of Abzbourg & his wife Carlote both from Austria.
Carlota was from Belgium where she returned after Maximillano went in front of a firing squad. Reform is Maximilliano's version of the Champs Elysee. In his time he could look down reform to the Zocalo. He was an unwanted emperor installed by the French. The castle is actually what is referred to as the Halls of Moctezuma in the song the US Marines sing because the US invaded Mexico City during the US Mexico war. Those statues of the yound cadidates are Heros in Mexico because they saved the flag from being captured by wrapping themselves in it and jump over the from what is now the castles garden. It was at that time like the USA's Westpoint.
Dan just to correct your video description. The Castle of Chapultepec was build after the Spanish colonial era. It was built during the Second Mexican Empire, during the time we had an Austrian Emperor (Maximilian of Habsburg). Look it up if you can! The history behind it is very interesting! Cheers! Glad to see you love Mexico. 🇲🇽
Actually during the Mexican American war, there is a legend that says that a kid defending Mexico threw himself with the Mexican Flag from the top of the castle
What Victor meant is that it is the only castle in america where a european monarch lived. Archduke and Prince Ferdinand Maximilian of Austria, Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, accepted Napoleon III of France offer to rule Mexico, and became Emperor of Mexico. The castle was built for him and his family.
The Chapultepec Castle was home for the emperor Maximilian and Charlotte ; the great avenue leads to Palacio de Gobierno ; so, Carlota could see her husband going to his office from a balcony. That avenue 's name is Paseo de la Reforma .THANKS FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS ! I am a mexican fan living in Vancouver !
I am from Mexico but I’m living in Texas and I can’t believe that I barely know some things about my country. I didn’t know there was a castle in Mexico !! Thanks for your videos I hope to get there someday
i´m glad hat you have climbed Chapultepec Castle so you will know a little about the history of Mexico which is the only one in Latin America and it is not a park but a whole forest divided into three sections there are museums of all kinds, an amusement park and other attractions.
Very interesting travel vlog. I hope to get to Mexico in the next year. The castle looks cool. Subbed to you and I will def check out your India and Vietnam series.
The castle of Chapultepec was the home of Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico, the emperor of the second Mexican empire. There is a large painting of the Emperor in the castle, and I think you didn't see it.
The castle is the only one that has been inhabited by royalty in all the Americas. It was also a crucial point in the Mexican-American war being that it was a Military Academy. The statues of soldiers were called "Ninos Heroes" whom defended the castle with their lives against the American soldiers.
Not true at all, this castle was from the colonial period, it iswhere the Viceroy lived, the vicerollalty of new spain (Mexico city was the capital city, it included former mexican territories in the U.S. all the way down to central america, cuba and the philipines) was the first in the continent waaaay before the portuguese came to America. New Spain/Mexico has a very old history in America
Look, he is right! it is the only castle built and occupied by real and actual royalty! A king and queen! from the Hapsburg Empire! the most powerful at the time!
lol you're such a little mexicanito! that's why you will always follow the history the u.s.a wrote and enabled benito to take over. Wow mexicanitos foreverrrrrrrr in a mexicanito accent! hahahaha we got ya!
@@elonbuffett1913 Man, Thera are many other castles in Mexico and the rest of America, the difference with this was that this one was the only castle where an emperor ruled by himself, not receiving orders from Europe. In Brazil happened something almost similar, but not at all.
There’s actually a little “train” thingy that takes you up the hill to the castle, in normal circumstances the walk is nice but since you were sick the train would’ve been a good option
Hey Dan awesome video!! If you want a cool view of the Zocalo you can go for a coffee and por lunch/dinner at the Hotel Majestic (Madero 73 Entre Palma y Plaza de la Constitución Col. Centro). You can also visit the bell tower of the Cathedral. I don t know the exact hours but the tour is offered fairly frequently and doesn t even cost half a dollar. I figure these places are a bit les well known as the Torre latinoamericana or the Revolutionary monument etc.
Well for those who are wondering: 1-INAH=Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (Nactional Institute of Anthropology and History), the public institution that runs the place, and also takes care of many museums and archeologic sites like Teotihuacan. 2-The castle was built in the mexican colonial period, and during the mexican american war was sieged and taken by the "gringos" (1848), then during the french invasion (1862-1867) Maximiliano de Habsburgo and his wife Carlota lived there, after that was use to be the presidential residence, but after the "Decena Trágica" (an episode of the mexican revolution 1913) the mexican president lives in other place. 3-Chapultepec hill was a sacred place not only for the mexicas (azthecs is not correct), but for all the mesoamerican peoples that lived in the Mexico's Valley. 4-José Maria Morelos y Pavón is a mexican independence hero. A "mulato" that formed a well trained army in the south of the New Spain, he is famous for the siege of Cuautla. He was defeated and killed in 1815.
My grandparents are from Mexico. I have strong French family links only because many French troops sent by emperor Napoleon to Mexico refused to return to France. They loved Mexico. Chapultepec castle is residence of Maxmillian and Carlotta.
What an awesome place, sweet castle. Don't know about a law against getting crabs drunk up there in Canuckland! Love your home city of Vancouver, too. Travel there often.
Hey guys love your vids, idk if you actually went already to Teotihuacan but I highly recommend you to visit it. Also if you go I'll tell you a kind of trick. Next to the Moon pyramid there is a plantform in the ground, if you get up on that platform and clap your hands you will hear a Quetzal (native bird) Hope you get better soon :^)
The castle was actually used as a military academy for a period of time. The six statues situated near one another are of the Heroic Boys/Cadets (best fitting translation imho) who were cadets between the ages of 14 and 19 during the Mexican-American War (Davy Crockett's last stand "Remember The Alamo" battle was the leading factor to this War). Wikipedia page en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niños_Héroes The Niños Héroes (Spanish: [ˈniɲos ˈeɾoes], Boy Heroes), also known as the Heroic Cadets or Boy Soldiers, were six Mexican teenage military cadets. These cadets died defending Mexico City's Chapultepec Castle from invading U.S. forces in the 13 September 1847 Battle of Chapultepec, during the Mexican-American War. According to legend, in an act of bravery, Juan Escutia wrapped the Mexican flag around his body and jumped from the top of the castle in order to keep it from falling into the enemy's hands.
You just visited the Imperial Palace (I know is a castle but durig the 2nd Empire served as official home for the Emperor, so it was remodeled to be a Palace) that was home of H.M. Maximiliano I of Mexico, Emperor during the short 2nd Empire of Mexico from 1864 to 1867. After that it was home to Presidents when the Republic was reinstalled. Some think that a Constitutional Monarchy would’ve been much more benefic to Mexico than the Republic, I think that too.
Gerardo Jáuregui of course for such a racist and elitist country with their own people like Mexico that would have been better. Mexico is the type of country that elevates foreign people but discriminate their own.
I think what Victor wanted to say is that this Castle is the only Castle in the continent where an European Monarch has lived, which is, of course, Maximilian of Hamsburg.
This castle de Chapultepec is on the Mexican money on the old Mexican money is on the $5,000 pesos series of 1978-1989 it has the heroic cadets los niños héroes in front of the Banknote it comes in 2 colors orange and brown $5,000 pesos banknotes....I uploaded a video in my channel of these $5,000 Mexican pesos banknotes in ultraviolet light it looks awesome
You must have to go to soumaya museum is one of the best whit almost 66 thousand pieces of art , look some picture on internet, It was made, by the mexican Carlos slim which is one of the most richiest people in the world, and its free :D saludos amigo.
OMG Dan - 1:14 - you better turn in your Canadian passport! Those are lobsters, not crabs! Moreover, my wife is from Nova Scotia and she says it is perfectly acceptable to get lobsters drunk.
I think what Victor the Mexican young guy meant to say is that The Castle of Chapultepec is the only castle is Latin America that was actually built to literally serve as a royal house which it did for Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico 👍
Brazil had emperors Pedro I and II and they had their own palaces. Google them. The castle of Chapultepec was originally a military post, then it was converted into a castle by Emperor Maximilian, and it was finished by Porfirio Díaz, as the castle was the president's residence
YOU could go up to Latino Americana Building, there is a`` mirador`` ... First class restaurants in Mexico city are GREAT !! SOME OF THEM WITH HISTORY . That`s an idea.....
José María Morelos y Pavón was the one left in charge of the Independence movement after Miguel Hidalgo I. Costilla died. He’s chosen by Hidalgo himself because he knew him before the war had started, he taught Morelos about religion (Hidalgo was a father). Morelos was killed in battle by the royal army.
The view from outside Chapultepec Castle is my new favourite view of Mexico City!
Where else should we go for a great view of the city? 🇲🇽👀
Hi Dan, if you wanna get a great view of Mexico City you should try the Torre Latinoameircana, you are gonna get the best view of Mexico City downtown
btw, your videos are awesome!
I agree with A. R., you should go to Xochimilco or the Teotihucan Piramids.
Try restaurante Bellini at the top of the World Trade Center, spinning restaurant, incomparable view, dress up a little and bring some money cuz it’s a little expensive but totally worth it
Go to Monumento a la Revolución, at the top you will have nicd views of the reforma skyline.
This is a royal castle,but also in Mexico exist royal palaces and mansions, you should visit Palacio de Iturbide, Palacio Nacional, Antiguo Palacio del Ayuntamiento,Palacio de los condes de Miravalle, Palacio de los Condes de Santiago de Calimaya(Museo de la ciudad de Mexico), Palacio del Conde de Buenavista (Museo de San Carlos), Palacio de los condes de San Mateo de Valparaíso .

AMErica in English is the same as America in Spanish....... a continent.

America is continent , a country called America doesn’t exist

He made a explored the coast an made a map , along with maps of other explorers , found that this was other continent one continent , not two
This true is accepted world wide
After Vespucci was called America , not , two Americas also called the new world
And was decided geopolitically in three regions , not continents. REGIONS
USA , when signs , an international treaty it refers as USA , not as America and the people of the USA according with their language rules , should be called UNITEDSTATESIANS , not Americans , because , Americans are all the people from Alaska to Argentina !

Equivocado !!! Existía desde la época colonial.
It isn't the only royal castle in the Americas. There are several royal residences in Brazil and a couple ruined castles in Haiti.
Elon Buffett yeah so many countries have castles, But this is the only royal palace or castle in America where european royal people used to live.
poor Carlote she just came to die hahaha :/
I love Canada, is my favourite county in the world, I am very pleasant that you two have enjoy my county as I enjoyed yours
Get better Boris and hope next time you can visit the castle because it's one of the nicest place in all Mexico city

Baby!! When victor said "I LOVE Mexico"....I felt that. 🇲🇽❤🇲🇽❤
Wow! Especially love the stained glass windows!

It was no legend and there were six boys actually that never surrendered.

El Castillo no fue construido para los Emperadores Maxiiliano ni Carlota,este fue construido por ordenes del Emperador Carlos V!
@@cocolarue3960 Si pues el castillo fue tomado por EEUU durante la intervención estadounidense, y eso fue antes de la intervencion francesa.
Go to the Lago de Xochimilco, you have take a ride on a trajinera.
Nice vids Dan, I like them a lot, it's nice to see visitors have fun in my city. ;)

There’s actually a little “train” thingy that takes you up the hill to the castle, in normal circumstances the walk is nice but since you were sick the train would’ve been a good option
Oh wow that would have been great! We must have missed it
Hey Dan awesome video!! If you want a cool view of the Zocalo you can go for a coffee and por lunch/dinner at the Hotel Majestic (Madero 73 Entre Palma y Plaza de la Constitución Col. Centro).
You can also visit the bell tower of the Cathedral. I don t know the exact hours but the tour is offered fairly frequently and doesn t even cost half a dollar.
I figure these places are a bit les well known as the Torre latinoamericana or the Revolutionary monument etc.
5:49 that is Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon. He was one of the heroes in the independence war.

3-Chapultepec hill was a sacred place not only for the mexicas (azthecs is not correct), but for all the mesoamerican peoples that lived in the Mexico's Valley.
4-José Maria Morelos y Pavón is a mexican independence hero. A "mulato" that formed a well trained army in the south of the New Spain, he is famous for the siege of Cuautla. He was defeated and killed in 1815.
My grandparents are from Mexico. I have strong French family links only because many French troops sent by emperor Napoleon to Mexico refused to return to France. They loved Mexico. Chapultepec castle is residence of Maxmillian and Carlotta.

The castle was actually used as a military academy for a period of time. The six statues situated near one another are of the Heroic Boys/Cadets (best fitting translation imho) who were cadets between the ages of 14 and 19 during the Mexican-American War (Davy Crockett's last stand "Remember The Alamo" battle was the leading factor to this War).
Wikipedia page
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niños_Héroes
The Niños Héroes (Spanish: [ˈniɲos ˈeɾoes], Boy Heroes), also known as the Heroic Cadets or Boy Soldiers, were six Mexican teenage military cadets. These cadets died defending Mexico City's Chapultepec Castle from invading U.S. forces in the 13 September 1847 Battle of Chapultepec, during the Mexican-American War. According to legend, in an act of bravery, Juan Escutia wrapped the Mexican flag around his body and jumped from the top of the castle in order to keep it from falling into the enemy's hands.

Some think that a Constitutional Monarchy would’ve been much more benefic to Mexico than the Republic, I think that too.
Gerardo Jáuregui of course for such a racist and elitist country with their own people like Mexico that would have been better. Mexico is the type of country that elevates foreign people but discriminate their own.
Get well Boris. Hope you did in time to enjoy cuidad (Mexico City)

I think what Victor wanted to say is that this Castle is the only Castle in the continent where an European Monarch has lived, which is, of course, Maximilian of Hamsburg.
This castle de Chapultepec is on the Mexican money on the old Mexican money is on the $5,000 pesos series of 1978-1989 it has the heroic cadets los niños héroes in front of the Banknote it comes in 2 colors orange and brown $5,000 pesos banknotes....I uploaded a video in my channel of these $5,000 Mexican pesos banknotes in ultraviolet light it looks awesome
Get well Boris 👌🏽👌🏽
You must have to go to soumaya museum is one of the best whit almost 66 thousand pieces of art , look some picture on internet, It was made, by the mexican Carlos slim which is one of the most richiest people in the world, and its free :D saludos amigo.
Oh wow it's free? I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip :)
The New Travel yes it is, some information, www.soumaya.com.mx/index.php/esp/inicio/plaza_carso enjoy you trip :)
You probably feel tired also because the air is very thin in Mexico City due to high elevation. (Like Denver; mile high city)
buen video.... saludos...
OMG Dan - 1:14 - you better turn in your Canadian passport! Those are lobsters, not crabs! Moreover, my wife is from Nova Scotia and she says it is perfectly acceptable to get lobsters drunk.
Hahaha I grew up in winnipeg which is about as far as you can get from the ocean, that's my excuse 😂😂
I think what Victor the Mexican young guy meant to say is that The Castle of Chapultepec is the only castle is Latin America that was actually built to literally serve as a royal house which it did for Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico 👍
not just Latin America, the hole America.
Get well Boris & Dan.
Muy buen ciudadano Víctor 👏❤️
Brazil had emperors Pedro I and II and they had their own palaces. Google them. The castle of Chapultepec was originally a military post, then it was converted into a castle by Emperor Maximilian, and it was finished by Porfirio Díaz, as the castle was the president's residence
Have you been in Santa Fe and Polanco?
I've been to Polanco but not yet to Santa Fe
The New Travel you should make a video there 😄
Another intersting fact about this castle, is that this is the place they filmed the movie "Romeo and Juliet" with Leonardo Dicaprio back in 1996
YOU could go up to Latino Americana Building, there is a`` mirador`` ... First class restaurants in Mexico city are GREAT !! SOME OF THEM WITH HISTORY . That`s an idea.....
José María Morelos y Pavón was the one left in charge of the Independence movement after Miguel Hidalgo I. Costilla died. He’s chosen by Hidalgo himself because he knew him before the war had started, he taught Morelos about religion (Hidalgo was a father). Morelos was killed in battle by the royal army.
