Mexico City Mini Guide

Mexico CityInternationalAirport is also known as BenitoJuarézInternational Airport, and is the main airport serving Mexico City. The airport is not only Mexico's, but also Latin America's busiest airport - unsurprising since Mexico City (the country's capital) is one of the world's largest and most highly populated cities.

Mexico City is a hotbed of people, noise, and activity. Many contrasting elements occur in the city - all at once it is high-living and poverty-stricken, glamorous and gritty, a buzzing Latin party and a drab, overcrowded concrete jungle. Lying 2200 meters above sea level, the city is an immense urban sprawl - both high enough in altitude and vast enough in size to make you dizzy.

The sheer scale of the city means that it is largely decentralized, with different areas of the city having their own specific downtown area. The different areas of Mexico City are divided into around 250 'colonias', and it is wise to have some idea of what colony you want to get to when you are moving around within the city.

Things to See/Do in Mexico City

It would be possible to explore Mexico City for months without running out of things to do - the plazas, museums, monuments, buildings, murals, and galleries are multitudinous. There are of course some particularly recognizable and emblematic sights and attractions throughout the city, and the following are just a small handful of Mexico City's highlights.

The Ángel de la Independencia is perhaps the most familiar icon of Mexico City. A 45 metre column, situated on Reforma Avenue, the monument commemorates Mexico's independence from Spain. It can look particularly pretty when lit up in the evenings.

The Zócalo is Mexico City's main square and home to the Templo Mayor (the ruins of the Great Temple of Tenochtitlan), a wonderful and imposing Cathedral, and the National Palace, which contains Diego Rivera's intricate murals detailing Mexico's fight for independence. Free admission means the Palace is a budget-friendly attraction, while the low cost of admission into the Templo and it's museum makes it a cheap but fascinating excursion.

ChapultepecPark and Zoo is considered by many to be the centerpiece of Mexico City. An urban oasis with freeadmission, the park is a haven for those wanting to separate themselves from the concrete landscape of Mexico City for an afternoon. There are a number of cheap and freeattractions within the park, such as the city zoo as well as a wealth of museums and monuments.

Eating Out/Nightlife in Mexico City

Mexico City by night is a thrilling place - the whole city seems to pulse to a Latin beat. For a truly Latin American experience, visit a salsa or flamenco club, sample some tequila and see how long your feet can keep up with the music. Clubs and drinks are not always cheap - you will pay less in the more down-to-earth spots around the city.

Eating out in Mexico can be heaven or hell. If you are in any doubt as to the hygienic standards of a restaurant, take your business elsewhere. It is easy to eat well and safely (and on a budget) in Mexico City - just keep your eyes open. Try some of the wonderful local dishes - the Mexican meal you get delivered to your door at home will most likely not compare to the real thing in the big city.
