 One
of the largest and most polluted cities in the world, Mexico City
does have some redeeming qualities when it comes to tourist attractions.
If you can get beyond the dirt layer, a vibrant city with a very cosmopolitan
atmosphere awaits with museums, cafes, art galleries and more. |
| Mexico City, called simply "Ciudad" by the
locals, hosts a large number of great museums. The National
Anthropology Museum gives great insight into the Indian and
Hispanic cultures that make this area so unique. The Plaza
de Constitucion is a wonderful place to view Colonial architecture
and do some people watching. Just south of downtown, Xochimilco,
is a lush city of canals where gondola
boat rides are the main mode of transportation. About an
hour out of town, Teotihuacan
offers exquisite murals and finely preserved pyramids. Hike
the Pyramids of the Sun or the Moon for a remarkable view of the area. For a photo album review of Mexico City, click the Photo Tour button to the left. Ready to book a trip? Use the helpful links in our Travel Planner. Explore. Relax. Enjoy. Destination: Mexico City. |
