Zona Rosa is a very cool area. There was a Best Western that we stayed and could walk all over. Make sure to go see the Pyramid of the sun and moon. It's so cool!

I stayed in the historic district, at the Mexican owned Hotel Ritz, great location and super helpful doormen. Use uber. Avoid the upscale, restaurants that are really just catering to tourists, watch people, the locals, where do they go, much better food and better prices. Most museums are free on Sunday, and closed on Monday. It's a good day to see the ruins. Go on freetours.com and sign up for a few of their offerings. The Ballet Folklorico tells the history of Mexico in song and dance. Don't worry about where your seat is, there is no such thing as a bad seat in the theater.
