Going to Mexico D.F. for the weekend - what sites do you recommend I visit? |
Travel Info Flying out to Mexico D.F. on Friday morning and coming back Tuesday morning and want to visit as much as I possibly can. What tourist sites do you recommend? Travel Tips This is what I answered to another question similar to this. All this places are really a must in Mexico City: I think Mexico City's safe meanwhile you visit the nice or tourist areas. I mean, it's like going to NYC and get into the Bronx or Harlem, or Watts in L.A. for sure I'll never do it. Areas worth visiting: Centro Hist贸rico (downtown). Most of the ancient buildings of the whole continent are located here. Lots of thing to do if you like history and architecture. drink something at La Opera bar, it's bar from 18th century and it's very well conservated. Polanco: The fashionista quarter. Here are located the designer stores and Mazaryk Ave. is kind of 5th Avenue. Visiting Antara Polanco Mall is a must. Roma-Condesa: These are the french quarters of the city. You'll find gorgeous architecture and lots of restaurants and cafes where hip youngs go. This is kind of East Village (NYC) with a Mexican taste. Coyoacan: And ancient spanish quarter. This place has a lot of culture and a bohemian atmosphere. Here is located the house-museum of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. There a wonderful handcraft market on sundays. Reforma Avenue and Chapultepec Castle: Reforma Avenue is the beautiest avenues of the whole country and was once catalogated as one of the beautiest streets in the world. It was build by order of Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg (and austrian prince who governed Mexico for four years) as a copy of Champs Elys茅es avenue in Paris. Chapultepec Castle was the house of the two empires that Mexico has and home of some presidents. This is the only formally castle in the continent. Teotihuacan: This is an ancient city (700BC-200AC) cradle of Teotihuacan civilization. It has the highest pyramid in the western hemisphere and it's only 50 kms from the city. Well... definitely there are lots of things to do and see in a 22 million people city. The best hotel in town in my opinion would be The W and the JW Marriot. Particularly I love The W hotel because of its architecture and atmosphere. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/pr... Not worthy visiting: Some people says Xochimilco is a must. But I find it a bit of boring. |
