🌆 Mexico City Travel Guide✨

The editor will take you to visit the perfect fusion of ancient civilization and modern city!


🌟 Must-see attractions in Mexico City

1. Constitution Square (Zócalo)

  • One of the largest city center squares in the world, surrounded by the cathedral and the Presidential Palace (National Palace), it is the best place to feel the pulse of the city.
  • Editor’s take: After the square lights up at night, the atmosphere is particularly shocking!

2. National Museum of Anthropology

  • The most important museum in Mexico, it houses a large collection of Aztec and Mayan artifacts, including the famous "Aztec Sun Stone".
  • Editor's note: The exhibition hall is very large, so you need to queue for at least half a day to take a look around.

3. Teotihuacán

  • Located on the outskirts of Mexico City, the ancient city ruins are famous for the "Pyramid of the Sun" and the "Pyramid of the Moon".
  • Editor's recommendation: Climb to the top of the pyramid and overlook the entire site, which is super spectacular.

4. Xochimilco

  • Known as the "Venice of Mexico", you can take a colorful boat (Trajinera) to tour the canals, where you can enjoy bands playing and vendors selling snacks along the way.
  • My favorite thing: drinking beer while listening to music, so chill!

5. Frida Kahlo Museum / Casa Azul

  • The former residence of Frida Kahlo, the most representative female artist in Mexico, has an eye-catching blue exterior and preserves her works and traces of her life.

6. Chapultepec Castle

  • Standing in Chapultepec Park, it is the only European palace-style castle in Latin America, combining landscape and history.

🍴 Must-try food in Mexico City

1. Tacos

  • Mexican street soul food, especially Tacos al Pastor (Tacos al Pastor) , uses pork and pineapple slices, which is a classic with its sweet, sour and salty flavor.

2. Tamales

  • Corn flour dough wrapped with fillings and steamed in corn leaves or banana leaves is a traditional breakfast or festive dish.

3. Pozole Corn Soup

  • This soup, made with large corn kernels, is added with pork or chicken and paired with peppers, onions, and green vegetables. It is very stomach-warming.

4. Churros

  • Sweet fried noodles, often coated in cinnamon sugar, are especially comforting when served with chocolate sauce.

5. Pulque & Mezcal

  • Pulque is an ancient fermented agave drink with a slightly sour taste; Mezcal is a distilled agave liquor with a strong smoky flavor.

🚍 Mexico City Transportation Guide

  • Airport : Mexico City International Airport (MEX), the busiest aviation hub in Latin America.
  • City transportation :
    • Metro : One of the cheapest subways in the world, with a wide range of routes, but very crowded during peak hours.
    • Buses & Metrobuses : Suitable for medium to long distances.
    • Uber/Taxi : We recommend using Uber, which is safer and more transparent than traditional taxis.
  • Day trips : Go to Teotihuacan, Xochimilco, and other places, either by joining a tour group or chartering a car.
