If I have to choose one pre-hispanic art museum it would definetly be this one. Diego Rivera built this place to be the home of his personal collection and his atelier. you will find teotihuacanas, olmecas, toltecas, nahuas, zapotecas on the way from the underworld to the sun. Is a bit far from the city center but it definetly worth the visit.

I love the way Barragan relate the spaces he created with light and color.

Plaza Garibaldi, home to Mexico City’s mariachis. Located along one of the city’s main avenues, Eje Central a few blocks from the Fine Arts Palace. At all hours of the day and night, mariachi bands can be found playing or soliciting gigs from visitors to the Plaza, or on the main avenue trying to get picked up and taken to house parties to play. A must see if you are in the city centre.

This magical place is inside the small botanic garden that is inside the huge chapultepec park.

If you are visiting Mexico City you must use the metro to get a true insight into daily life in the capital city, but be prepared as it is hectic as! Sometimes feels like the entire Mexico City population is in your carriage during rush hour. Used by around 4.4 million passengers on an average weekday, it has 195 stations and more than 226km of track on 12 lines. Trains arrive every two to three minutes during rush hours. At M$5 a ride, it’s one of the world’s cheapest subways and will get you across the entire city. Best option for people watching and striking up conversation with people you may not otherwise talk to.
