Cities & Towns (Part 1)

Cities and towns …

This post will need to have a second, third and more sequels, because in Mexico there are many cities that are distinguished by their history, architecture, cuisine, and many more qualities that make them unique, and where you will have an unforgettable experience. So today I will talk you about Mexico City.

I LOVE DF

Its official name is City of Mexico, is a must if you’re traveling the “Azteca country”, Mexico City and its metropolitan area has more than 20 million people. It is the fourth most populous city in the world and as such has many activities, places, and people to know.

Chapultepec Castle,

Is a building with a rich history, has documents and items that have transcended history. In addition to these collections, it has temporary exhibitions of national and international artists.

Chapultepec Park,

Is the largest park in Mexico and has been an important place from pre-Hispanic times and remains until today. Once in the park you can meet “The source of Nezahualcoyotl”, “The source of temperance,” even an amusement park called “La Feria de Chapultepec” among other fun attractions like taking a bike ride.

Mexico City has for you a lot of culture, is one of the cities with more museums in the world !!! You should not miss the National Museum of Anthropology and History, the National Palace of Fine Arts, The Templo Mayor, or the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Coyoacan

Is one of the most iconic neighborhoods of Mexico City, with an artistic and relaxed air, you can enjoy countless restaurants and stroll through some of its art galleries, I recommend you to visit “La Casa Azul”, where lived the famous painters Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

Zocalo

It is one of the largest squares in the world because of its size, with years of history in this place you will find the Templo Mayor, the Metropolitan Cathedral, National Palace, besides being able to take a tour of the most representative historical sites downtown from the city.

Xochimilco

The Venice of the city, where you can take a ride on one of the boats  covered with flowers called “chinampas” or “trajineras”, where you can stroll while enjoying a pleasant landscape.
