r/MexicoCityMarch 2020 The Central Library of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is the main library in the Ciudad Universitaria Campus.

La Zona cultural de CU es muuuy bonita y tranquila (espacio escultorico, o del lado del jardin botanico). O la biblioteca central. El interior es bien silencioso.
