The MET is absolutely worth visiting. The collection is huge, beautifully curated, and you can see world-famous pieces in just a short visit. Even if you’re not an art lover, the building and galleries are stunning. we got the best tour guide. He is Raimundo.

The tour guide explained everything very clearly, mainly helping you understand the key points of each hall so you can return later to see the exhibits you're most interested in. Overall, it was all very impressive.
