Hey I will be in Mexico City for a couple days. What are the cool spots to hit up. I like to take picture too. #Views

The Zócalo area has beautiful, historical bldgs if you’re into that.

Search Xochimilco, fun place loads of local snacks etc, a bit different.

Templo de mayo and the museum of Anthropology, there are the sun and moon pyramids on the edge of the city as well.

Try Cafe de Tacuba near the Zocalo. Very historical and great food.

San Angel is gorgeous and full of beautiful flowers. plaza Garibaldi is fun and they have mariachis everywhere (just avoid the neighborhood directly around it, it's kind of dangerous). Polanco is nice too but it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's one of the more "posh" areas of the city. There is a cool botanical garden at one of the universities (UNAM) that is full of cacti. What are your interests? There is sooooo much to see and do here. Message me if you have any questions. I'm currently sitting in traffic in Mexico City right now so I have all the time in the world to help out.

Marie Amaro is it safe for tourists with young children in Mexico City?

Kris definitely! So many of my friends here have kids (many of them are foreigners and have raised their kids here for years). I would avoid taking the metro and metrobus with kids as it gets really busy and overwhelming. Also, avoid rough neighborhoods and always be vigilant, like in any other city

We did the hop on hop off bus and didn’t mind it either. If we go back I’d do the hot air balloon over Teotihuacan.

Teotihuacan and the Zocalo were definitely highlights of our 5-day trip there in March. Zocalo is noisy even during the night, so, if you’re staying downtown in Centro historico, try to stay a few blocks away. El Balcon del Zocalo is an excellent restaurant with a view, but expensive. Also beware pickpockets who abound in the historic core.

Brenda that was my hotel! Good dinner but better breakfast.

Teotihuacan just outside the city, go early while it’s quiet and almost surreal. Zocalo has lots of great history and so many photo ops. I particularly loved the museum of anthropology which is a short walk to Chapultepec. Best tacos of my life were at Los Callejeros, not far from Belles Arts.

Hot tip: if you go to Bellas Artes, go across the street to the cafe level of Sears department store to get an amazing view (and a great photo op)!

El Castio Chapultepec and La Casa Azul which was the childhood home of Frida Kahlo. I loved both. You can see all of Mexico City from the castle. Of course there are the pyramids both in and out of the city and lots of churches.

Visit the "Torre", skyscraper with an observation floor

Coyoacan was the most picturesque part of CDMX in my opinion. Brightly coloured buildings with a lot of character, great for a photo walk.

Hotel Prim is located between the Zona Rosa and the Zocalo, underground parking, breakie incl, walking distance to Zocalo and the Zona
