Mexico City Must-See's
- Zocalo -the main square (right)
- Temple Mayor (behind the Cathedral) Thought to be the exact place where the Aztecs saw their famed symbolic eagle atop a cactus eating a snake- Mexico's national symbol today.
- Xochimilco - beautiful canals where you can ride a wooden canoe, buy beers, tacos, corn, mariachi bands, anything, while you're floating along peacefully.
- Torre Latinoamerica- an incredible view from the top of the entire city
- Palacio de bellas artes- the murals are very interesting, and the building beautiful.
- Museo de Anthropologia- incredible!
- Coyoacan- visit Frida Kahlos blue house (above) and Trotskys house where he was killed, with an ice pick!
- Plaza de las tres culturas- You can see the ancient (pyramids of Tlatelolco), colonial (Templo de Santiago) and current (the Foreign Relations government building) cultures in one spot. It is also the site of the 1968 Student protests when the army, on government orders, opened fire on hundreds of students.
- The restaurant on the 6th floor of an artisan gallery, next to McDonalds in Zocala. It has an amazing view of Zocalo, and well-priced.
- Tortas, anywhere, anytime = AMAZING!
- La Condesa, for fun bars, and hip restaurants
- Plaza Garibaldi- if you love Mariachi
- Lucha Libre- at Arena Mexico every Sunday.
