If you visit Teotihuacán without a ticket in hand, expect to wait anywhere between 60 and 90 minutes at the gate, especially on weekends and holidays. Most of that time is spent under the sun, with limited shade and long stretches of slow-moving queues.
But you can skip that line entirely. Skip-the-line tickets let you walk straight to the security gate and enter the archaeological site in minutes. You’ll head directly toward the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, not the ticket counter.
Here’s how you can get in faster
Skip-the-line tickets let you bypass the on-site ticketing queue at the Teotihuacán entrance. You’ll still go through a brief security check, which usually takes 5–15 minutes. Most visitors with skip-the-line entry get inside the archaeological site within 10–20 minutes, compared to an hour or more for general admission.
Teotihuacán attracts over 3 million visitors a year, and the main entrances can get crowded by mid-morning.
Lines start forming as early as 8:30am, especially at Puerta 1 and Puerta 2, which are the main gates leading to the Avenue of the Dead. The queues snake along the parking areas and often wrap around the roadside by late morning.
During weekends and holidays, lines at the main gate can last over an hour. With a skip-the-line ticket, you walk past the ticket counter and reach the pyramids in minutes. You’ll still go through security, but that’s the only pause before stepping onto the Avenue of the Dead.
It means you bypass the on-site ticket counter and head straight to the entrance with your pre-booked mobile ticket. You’ll still go through a quick security check before entering.
Yes. All visitors must clear security for safety reasons, but the process usually takes just 5–15 minutes.
You’ll save anywhere between 45 and 90 minutes compared to buying tickets at the gate.
Same-day availability is limited, especially weekends. It’s best to book at least a day in advance.
Yes. You’ll have full access to the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, and the Avenue of the Dead.
If you want context, yes. Guides bring the site alive with stories about Teotihuacán’s gods, murals, and rituals, and you also get quicker group entry.
