Please don't count any time I might spend in a church, museum, or separate attraction on the square. I'm trying to figure out if this is a 2 hour, 4 hour, whole day, etc. kind of thing.

We went in July-August 2023 for week to Mexico City and stayed at a hotel right across the Palacio Nacional for a full week. We were disappointed-no fanfare for raising and lowering the flag. We wanted our granddaughters to have that experience like we had had 3 times before. Soldiers would come out from the Palacio Nacional and raise it in the morning and lower it in the evening, but no drumming, bugles and trumpets playing la marcha, no soldiers marching, everything done fast and silent.
