There was a book and stationary fair here during our time in the city. Couldn't see much of the square due to all the tents. But anyway its just a central city square you find in many cities all over… Full review by cmchilds

Me estaré quedando en un hotel frente al zócalo y quisiera saber si de noche se puede caminar por los alrededores sin peligro, asistiremos a un evento en Bellas artes q debe terminar alrededor de las 10 pm y no se si podré regresar caminando al hotel por el tema de la seguridad a esa hora de la noche. Gracias de antemano.

Nosotros caminamos solo si hay luz de dia. No diria que es seguro.
Does anyone know if the white tents are still there? are they permanently installed?

No, they aren't there anymore. They place tents when a market is going to use the palce to sell or show something or, sometimes to demosnstrate against some political issue. But they are always temporary.
How much time would you recommend I plan to spend walking around just the square and seeing the various sites in it? 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.
A:
2 hours should be plenty of time to walk around and visit the church & possibly the museums. This is definitely not a whole day thing, after 2-3 hours you would want to get some rest …

Are they still doing the bringing down of the flags? If so, what time? Is the Zocalo currently opened? I remember I went a few years back and I loved the soldiers come in and do the flag ceremonies.

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.
