About Mexico-stad

Mexico-Stad is een enorme hoofdstad op grote hoogte, gebouwd boven het Azteekse Tenochtitlan, rijk aan musea, muurschilderingen, markten en geweldig eten.

De Zócalo, een van de grootste pleinen ter wereld, wordt omlijst door de Metropolitaanse Kathedraal en het Nationaal Paleis, waar de muurschilderingen van Diego Rivera het verhaal van Mexico vertellen.
