Most fun things to do while in Mexico City, Mexico? |
Travel Info I will be stoppping in Mexico City, Mexico in July for a little bit over a week... Anyone have any ideas on some fun places or fun things to do in or around the city? Travel Tips My 2 cents as a gringo living very close to Mexico City in Toluca for 4 years now. Be careful, but as you would in any large city. The metro is NOT dangerous as another poster stated. Been on it at least 100 times, never an incident never seen an incident. No jewelry! Just don't wear it unless it's not only cheap, but looks cheap, such as a watch that is obviously worth only 10 bucks. Get the hotel to call you a cab if you need one, they use trusted companies. I've never had safety issues in cabs but have heard stories. Most drivers are fine. Just as in the states, a few ruin the reputation for all. Ok.....now places to see. My list..... 1. Templo Mayor (the pyramid in the zocalo) 2. Frida Kahlo's house/studio in the south of DF (distrito federal, same as saying Mexico City) 3. The cathedral in the zocalo 4. Teotihuacan (pre Aztec pyramids in the north of DF) 5. The historical district around the zocalo 6. Angel de Independencia on Reforma Ave. (Mexico's most important monument....you can go inside!) 7. La Zona Rosa is kinda fun for an afternoon meal or dancing/music at night. 8. yes....the turibus is great! 9. how about getting out of Mexico City for a day and going to Puebla in the south of the city by greyhound type bus. Beautiful city! On the way you will pass two volcanos one of which is still active and often smokes (Popo). I know a great hotel in an old beautiful artsy neighborhood which will cost you half the price of the big ones and give you great service. It's called the Hotel Milan, in Colonia Roma. (400 to 600 pesos per night) I have more ideas as I've traveled all over DF on my days off. Contact me if you like.........I'm Rob |
