El Centro Cultural de España

República de Guatemala 18, Centro Histórico, Centro, 06000 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

On the ground floor of this building just behind the Zócalo, within view of Templo Mayor, is an art gallery run by the Spanish Cultural Center (El Centro Cultural de España), which is certainly worth your time. On the top floor is a never-crowded café, where murals adorn the walls and the room gives way to a terrace (be sure to bring your camera to get a snapshot of the view). It’s a pleasant, peaceful place to recharge after exploring the Zócalo and its surroundings.
