★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful Neogothic-style building which, incredibly enough, they still actively use today. It's such a nice view from inside. At the time that we arrived, there was a tour going on inside, we learned a lot about this place. There are working elevators inside that can bring you to the upper floors. The stairs aren't allowed to be used because of the marble slowly degrading.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a way to celebrate snail mail! The building is a marvel to behold, every bit from the inside out is gorgeous. It also doubles as a museum for mail services in Mexico and it's history with other temporary galeries.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A building of stunning architecture, but generally only a part of the ground floor is open to visitors. That said, it's worth a short visit and it's a good place to send some postcards (that you've bought elsewhere--most museums have pretty decent gift shops).
That's about it though. When I was there, there were a few photos and some pieces about railways in Spain and Portugal. It's quite cool inside, so that's good.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The building of the main postal office is spectacular, but the museum located inside is pretty small and underwhelming. Few pieces on display consist of some uniforms documents, photos, tools of the trade and stamps. Explanations are in Spanish, which does not help. Ok for a quick look but not worth too much time unless you speak fluent spanish.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The building is very beautiful.
The postal services are very slow. It seemed they only had two lines to send mail, and they both took forever. I didn’t see any machines to buy postage (not sure if this is a thing in Mexico).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Construction of this palatial main post office began in 1903. The Italian architect responsible for the construction had the foundation built mostly in New York and shipped over. The bronze and iron window frames inside were imported from Florence, Italy. After five years of construction, the then President Porfirio Díaz inaugurated it in 1907. It still functions as a post office if you want to send mail or packages. I only found out about this place after being told to go there to send a package and I am so glad I did!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful location, free for visitors but you must sign in. I don’t think there’s a bathroom for the public…I didn’t see one, but I might be wrong.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is a beautiful building located in the centre. Amazing that it has been a Palace that is now used as a post office. You can enter for free and you will notice the people working behind the bars with all the packages etc. Unfortunately, the entree to the upper floor was not available so we couldn t see much
Basically what you see in the photos below. Bust still nice as you walk past the neighbourhood. Try it now and maybe send a postcard to your family
