Often overlooked and under-promoted in comparison with Mexico’s beach destinations, Mexico City has a lot more to offer than you might realize. The modern combines with the colonial and pre-colonial to reveal a rich historical tapestry, taking you from the age of the Aztecs, through the Spanish conquest, to modern Mexico. The diversity of Mexico city is quite astounding; whether you want museums, art galleries, culture, history, shopping, markets, parks, squares, restaurants, nightlife, or entertainment, Mexico City has it all in abundance. The heart of Mexico City is the Zocalo, or main square, which is the second biggest in the world after Red Square, and is home to the huge national cathedral and majestic national palace, which houses paintings by Diego Rivera and a Benito Juarez Museum. The awe-inspiring Aztec pyramids of the moon and the sun are not too far away at Teotihuacan. Meanwhile the enormous Chapultepec Park has a zoo, children’s museum, a fascinating anthropological museum, and a castle which houses the national history museum. Further out is quaint Coyoacan, with its Bohemian atmosphere, great markets, bookshops, and coffee shops. Or Xochimilco, a traditional area boasting canals and gardens all mixed together. For Mexico City’s nightlife the list is endless, but some of the more established hot spots are the Zona Rosa, Polanco, and the Condesa. Mexico City is so diverse and the center of so many things, that it has to be seen to be believed; so come check it out yourself!
