In reply to the discussion: Your favorite places to visit? [View all]Zorro
(15,722 posts)21. Mexico City
Best vacation I ever had was the 2 weeks I spent there. Yes it has a lot of problems, but historically it is a fascinating place.
There are mansions near the Zocalo that were in existence when the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. Remnants of Aztec temples are being unearthed in the downtown.
The citadel of Chapultepec is fascinating to visit, and the archeological museum is superlative.
The canals of Xochimilco are within its boundary, and it's a short ride away from Teotihuacan. Also close to the silver mining towns of Taxco and Guanajuato, and historic Cuernavaca and Toluca.
It is an extraordinary city with an extraordinary history.
