Mexico CityWhere commerce meets culture and art meets entertainment, you can meet a city to fall in love with.Surrounded by three tall mountains and considered one of the world's largest and most populous metropolis, Mexico City is vast. And so is the list of reasons to visit. In fact, many would say you have to see it to believe it. An ideal place to begin your tour is the Zocalo, or town square, at Historical Center. Here, in the world's third-largest plaza, you are steps from the main historical district, the Metropolitan Cathedral and countless palaces and mansions. The trendy district of Polanco is a shopper's paradise and provides numerous places to grab a bite to eat or to sit down for a more lavish affair. Mexico City sits atop the lake basin where the Mexican Indians founded their empire in 1325 and were defeated by Cortes and the Spanish almost two centuries later. Many period artifacts from this tumultuous era are on display in the city's innumerable museums. The more outstanding ones include the National Museum of Anthropology and the History Museum in Chapultepec Castle. For art lovers, the Frida Kahlo Museum is a must-see on your itinerary. Along Insurgentes Avenue, one of the longest in the world, your idea of nightlife can be redefined. Don't worry if you can't experience it all in one night-many night spots are open during the day as well. Make your way along Paseo de la Reforma, one of the most important and iconic avenues in the city, a prime example of the capital's commitment to restoring and renovating its most prized heritage sites. It's along this throughway that you can experience history and modernity all at once. Mexico City is a world capital in every sense. Not to mention a world-class destination.  |
