About Mexico City

Mexico by er en enorm hovedstad høyt over havet, bygget over aztekernes Tenochtitlan, rik på museer, veggmalerier, markeder og utmerket mat.

Zócalo, en av verdens største plasser, er innrammet av Metropolitankatedralen og Nasjonalpalasset, der Diego Riveras veggmalerier forteller Mexicos historie. Ved siden av avslører den utgravde Templo Mayor hjertet av den aztekiske hovedstaden, og Palacio de Bellas Artes, med marmorfasade og art deco-interiør, ligger en kort spasertur mot vest.

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