The city of Palaces

Whenever you visit our capital be sure to go to the Museo Nacional de Antropología (National Antropology Museum), walk in parks surrounding the Torre Latinoamericana, which is erected on pivots to avoid earthquake damages, go to Xochimilco and have luscious by the lake dining at the Restaurant del Bosque. Allow some time to go to Teotihuacan (where pyramids to the sun and the moon use the same gigantic plaza (only 1 hr away by car) and of course the Bosque de Chapultepec where Maximiliano de Hapsburgo lived and where the teen soldiers defeated the "gringo" army.

Quick Tips:

Use taxicabs ONLY if you don't get seasick with fast and curvy driving.

Best Way To Get Around:

Decoration is excellent and room size is ample. The decor is modern and very comfortable. Things to do around the hotel are not much, but it is really close to Sport City if you are planning to do some exercise. However, you are within a 20 min ride to center and to the museums area. On the other hand this is rather safe, or at least safer than other places in the city. Food in the hotel restaurant, the Royal is fair but I would not reccomend it if you want gourmet food.

This is the mayor of archaeological museums in the whole country. The exhibits they have here are very interesting and the architecture itself is from the post modernist currents. You can be sure the visit will be didactical and absolutely interesting. I believe the most important exhibits here are those of the Mayans and closely behind the Aztecs (or more appropriately the Nahuatl) and if you come on weekends there is usually some extra performance either with live music or with lights and sound explaining the cultural differences of the prehispanic cultures. When finished I would recommend to walk to the restaurants nearby and don't be tempted by the food offered within the museum.

The title of this free form is the name of a movie of this neighborhood. They call it the "brave neigh" due to their constant fights and at a point in history, it was a lost town within a city. It is famous for all the merchandise sold in the street, you sometimes wouldn't know its origin. If you have to come here, do so without any accesories such as watches, gold rings, chains or so, you will probably either "lose it" or you might tempt someone into robbing you. If you want to get off the tourist comfort zone or want to practice a little of your martial arts, this might be the place for you to come (beware of gangs though, otherwise avoid coming here. I don't think you would need any "fayuca" (merchandise either stolen or fake trademarks). But if you want to know aboout Mexican costumes or work for a commodities company which is having problems of pirate merchandise, then you shouldn't miss coming here. The food might be absolutely delicious but is made with the Moctezuma's revenge included. Don't come here if you don't need to. If you do need to come, call me and we'll make a good support team for you.
