Free entry with lineup and Pass. Inside the upper Corridors (second level) of the Palacio. Reminder no English descriptions so bring a guide or Book. You'll see ancient to modern. Diego Riviera foresaw the rise of Hitler and other Fascist regimes in his paintins (this done early 1920's). Also look for His self-portrait and that of his lover/wife, Frida Kahlo (on the final panel!) Good luck and enjoy!

We saw the zocalo for the 2nd time at Christmas. Wow. The lights on the municipal hall, there was a stage for performers, an ice rink, it was amazing. Of course it's very crowded, but that's Mexico City.

This wide avenue runs for miles and shows the architecture of Mexico City from the historic areas around the Zocolo to El Angel to Chapultepec Park and then to the "new". Mexico City with modern sleek new skyscrapers that look like works of art. This boulevard is designed after those in Europe with benches, median gardens, fountains, public art exhibitions, many monuments like statues honoring Christopher Columbus and the equestrian one with Charles IV of Spain. It has wide walkways, good lighting, is clean and safe. Driving it or walking, it's the main artery of Mexico City.

Barrio Alameda is a charming little pet friendly shopping gallery in the heart of Mexico City, at walking distance from Centro Historico, filled with history, restaurants and shops selling a mix of local design and lifestyle products, from food and drinks or health and beauty to Mexican indigenous and modern arts and crafts, everyone can find their favourite. Built in the late 1920s, this renovated Art Deco building provides the perfect environment for relaxation and could serve as a “sanctuary” from all the surrounding buzz of the big metropolitan city thanks to its peaceful atmosphere and greenery planted everywhere. On the third floor of the building is a modern boutique B&B which adds to the gallery’s unique vibe. Last but not least, Barrio Alameda has a large rooftop terrace restaurant from where you can watch Mexico City’s skyline with Alameda Central, the first public park in the Americas, in front, or just enjoy the life go by with a coffee, beer or a typical Mexican Mezcal

Roughly 2.5 hour tour with our well informed and charismatic host, Abril. It ended with a superb mezcal tasting, which was included. There were also non-alcoholic drinks at the tasting. It was one of the best things that we did in Mexico City. The art is varied, and fascinating. It was great introduction to the city.

10. Plaza de Santo Domingo

The plaza's "place of scribes," where specialists in reading and writing have gathered for centuries, evokes the spirit of yesteryear.
Reviewed By RIG65 - Ontario, Canada
Mexico City is a kaleidoscope. It is part Madrid mixed with New York simmered in a long, colorful and,at times, tragic history. Plaza Santo Domingo was one of the earliest centre of the post Spanish conquest. The plaza is dominated by the church of Santo Domingo with its ornate facade. The plaza is surrounded by beautifully preserved. Colonial architecture. There is a fountain and a funky large brass chair with dog effigies.Along side the church are scribes who will write letters, fill out forms and other necessary writing tasks for people who are illiterate. The streets are filled with people making a living. Men pushing carts impossibly filled with goods. One block over is the Avenida Republica de Brasil which is filled with formal wear shops for brides, grooms and children's first communions. It is only a couple of blocks past the cathedral but almost a different city.
