Five star site. Do not miss this one. Take several days to fully enjoy. Try to find the mica lined crypt. Check at the entrance to get the location and the schedule for the vault door to be open. Stay at the Hotel Archaeologico on the loop road around the site. The decor is colonial, all adobe, room…

The reason I went to Xochimilco was one and just one: to get a ride on the small boats called "Trajineras". Xochimilco is called the floating garden, yet it isn't a garden at it isn't floating ... it would be more like a floating market. When you arrive there you should make a deal with one of the t…

Coyoacan is a place I liked very much. It has colonial/barroque style architecture on the surroundings of its central plaza. The central square has a kiosk, a church and also you may find people trying to seel their handcrafts, offering to read you tarot cards among other things.
You'll be having…

Visiting the house and the museum of Frida Kahlo is worth the experience if you like her work, or the history that her personallity carries. You get a nice view, and walk around in the house where Frida used to live with Diego Riviera. Although it might be even more interesting if you know as much o…

The new Basilica is arguably the most important religious building in Mexico. It houses the original apron of Juan Diego that shows the icon of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thus it is an important pilgrimage site and is visited by several million people every year, especially around December 12, Our Lady …

Chapultepec is really one of the must see places in Mexico City. It is a huge park that has one hill that has the Castle. The castle is now the National museum of history and if you arrive before they open(9am), maybe you can get in for free just like we did. Also in the park you can find several m…

The first time I visited Mexico City, almost two years ago, one of the places I was most interested in visiting was Estadio Azteca. This place is a must visit to any football fan. Estadio azteca is the home os the Mexican National Team, América, and Atlante. It is not only the biggest stadium in Me…

Three blocks west of the Zocalo there is a small promenade called Finomeno Mata for two blocks and then Gante. We discovered this street because it has a veterinarian restaurant we wanted to try. Soon though it became our favorite haunt. On the Gante section of the street (the southern most of the t…

The latinamerican tower is one of the few places you can get to see Mexico City from a decent height. The tower is about 42 stories high and I think there is nothing at the moment except for the first and the top floors. Even if you won't get to capture much of the moment on camera, because the smog…

Overwhelming experience in feeling so "close" to where in a not-too-far-off-past, these two artists lived their creativity and love.

When I travel, I always bring my wife and kids home gifts that I want to be as authentic, traditional and unique to the country as possible. This time in Mexico I was turned on to Plaza Oaxaca, a very reasonably priced shop that sells something for everybody on the list. They had everything I need…

The Tianguis Cultural del Chopo is a street market specialised in all the paraphernalia of mexican rock culture. Located every saturday near the Buenavista subway station, it is a place where mexican youth has gathered for 27 years. It started as the first Record Fair in a Museum, which was intended…

I know it sounds kind of morbid when you see me suggest a cementary as a place you may want to visit, but it is more of a cementary-museum. I know that people that like history or that know some mexican history may actually enjoy visiting it.
It is free to go in and inside you can see plenty of g…

I recommend the Turibus for a quick overall tour of the high points of seeing Mexico City.
The prices are, one day 100 pesos, 2 days 140 pesos, 3 days 180 pesos.
The idea is you get a bracelet/pass and can board and deboard at different set stops along a circuit the bus makes.
I rode an open seco…
