About Città del Messico

Città del Messico è una vasta capitale d'alta quota costruita sull'azteca Tenochtitlan, ricca di musei, murales, mercati e cucina eccezionale.

Lo Zócalo, una delle piazze più grandi del mondo, è incorniciato dalla Cattedrale Metropolitana e dal Palazzo Nazionale, dove i murales di Diego Rivera raccontano la storia del Messico. Accanto, il Templo Mayor portato alla luce rivela il cuore della capitale azteca, e il Palacio de Bellas Artes, con l'esterno di marmo e l'interno Art Déco, sorge a breve distanza verso ovest.

Top-ranked sights in Città del Messico: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
