I just got back from my first visit to Mexico City and while I didn’t watch this until now, I can say that this is a really good quick guide! One interesting side note that he didn’t mention is that CDMX (Mexico City) is really progressive! Has a great public bikeshare system (like many US cities), bike lanes all over, plastic bags in grocery stores are not allowed, and same sex marriage has been legal for years. I was there for five nights and, after watching this video, I realize I could have stayed for two weeks!

Navigating Mexico's metro is a piece of cake after London or Paris

🇲🇽 In my opinion, CDMX is the best capital city of América and one of the best in the whole world. Viva México 🎉🇲🇽🎉

Chilango over here, this is by far the best video of cdmx I have seen. Regarding places to stay you're absolutely right, many people stay in condesa-roma-polanco area, and as a south cdmx resident I think you are missing a lot of beautiful places in the city. as San Angel, Pedregal, CU, bosque de pedregral, bosque de tlalpan. So, you can also consider coyoacan as a great place to stay. :) welcome to our city!!!!!

Thank you and yeah fair point! I aimed this at first time visitors who almost always stay in those two tourist areas. Some of the areas you mention I don't know yet and will consider next time! I love San Angel and Coyoacan

2nd museum tip is spot on!! Absolutely amazing handcraft and display of indigenous, national artistry!

So much culture in Mexico City! One of my favorite go to places to get away.

This video beautifully captures the essence of Mexico City! 🌆 The vibrant colors, bustling streets, and rich cultural heritage make it a truly captivating destination. From the historic landmarks like the Zócalo and the stunning architecture of the Palacio de Bellas Artes to the mouthwatering street food and lively markets, Mexico City offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Tremendous Capital City!. Visitors quickly realize of the history, traditions, and culture. Wonderful architecture, art and delicious gastronomy. Mexico City is just fascinating, to much to explore and discover Mexico, the country has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in the Americas! Nice vid!

Thank you for sharing your travels.

Amazing video, thank you.

Nice job! We are frequent visitors to Mexico City and I can attest to the quality of info you provide here. After having stayed in several areas - I would not recommend staying in Centro. We stayed in the Gran Hotel (James Bond Spectre) one time. It was beautiful, and right on the Zocalo - but the area was dead and a bit sketchy at night. Perhaps a happy middle ground is Juarez - an easy walk to Centro and the restaurants of Roma. Another good area is Navarte - just south of Roma (cheaper and more locals). For museums, I would also recommend the Museo Nacional De Arte (MUNAL) - in Centro. A gorgeous building and they get some great visiting exhibitions (we saw a Caravaggio there). We also loved the Contemporary Art museum at the university (UNAM). Good luck with your channel - you are on the right track!

I have been to Mexico City back in 1980. It just reminded me of where I live in Los Angeles. Crowded! I really loved Guadalajara, Mexico it was so beautiful and green back at the time. My niece just flew back from Guadalajara, and she loved it. She showed me pictures and I cannot believe how much it has grown. She and her boyfriend who has family there want to buy a house in GDL. Los Angeles is way too expensive to live for young couples. But I told her if she moves out there, I have a place to visit once in a while. She says there are many Hi-Tech companies out there and it is growing for that reason. When I went there in 1980, there were not that many high-rise buildings but now It looks like either New York or Los Angeles. Pretty amazing.

I'm making plans to visit CDMX in Sept for my birthday. I was there many years ago and have wanted to go back so am giving it to myself as a birthday gift. I had already decided to stay in Condesa as it looks to be close to the things I want to see and close to a large park. How long would you recommend to stay?

Thank you so much for this video! The most useful one I have found for our trip. Did you find public transportation (bus/train) easy to use there? Do you need to get tickets in advance? Thank you!

@indietraveller

I've only taken coach buses to reach places outside the capital. They're fantastic and pre-buying tickets for these is optional. I've not taken inner city buses - I prefer using ridehailing for this which is cheap and plentiful in CDMX. The metro is decent, though often very crowded and sometimes the signage is lacking, so I found it helpful to have a metro map on my phone. For longer distances in the city the metro is very useable, for shorter distances I found taxis/ridehailing very practical. Have fun :)

As long as you're recommending pre-columbian and Rivera/Kahlo museums, you can do both if you drop a visit to the Anahuacalli museum . Is the house studio Diego Rivera built in the style of an aztec temple. Today houses his personal collection of prehispanic pieces.

Good vidéo. CDMX is huge… I lived in Tokyo, so hopefully I’ll find my way in this wonderful city. Regarding public transportation… why does everybody says it’s when you are on a budget?!? It’s often the best on many aspects. Indeed, it’s saving friendly but it’s also environmental friendly and respectful to your environment. Cars aren’t private… they are using roads and bridges that are immensely more expensive than subways and trams… In the end, like it is in Tokyo, a wealthy city is not when poor people can afford their own cars but when rich people uses public transportation…

@indietraveller

5 ай бұрын

True, I'm a fan of public transit too, though the metro in CDMX is sadly nothing like the metro in Tokyo. Delays, cancellations, and extreme crowds are common, so for a tourist it can be more practical to take a taxi...

Instead of Torre Latinoamericana, I recommend saving the 250 Pesos and go to Restaurant Bellini, South of Condesa, to enjoy the same view with a beer and with much less tourists.

Beutiful i like it

The capital

MEXICO CITY 🇲🇽 The oldest capital of North America and the Americas. (Mexico-Tenochtitlan) Historical capital of four political entities: Capital of the Aztec Empire Capital of the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Capital of the first Mexican Empire Capital of the Mexican Republic Nicknamed by the conquerors the Venice of the new world. Mexico City, the second city with the most museums in the world, has the Chapultepec Castle, the only real castle in America that is inhabited by emperors. In addition to the Bosque de Chapultepec, which is three times bigger than Central Park in New York. The Paseo de la Reforma is considered the second most beautiful avenue in the world, after the Champs Elysees in Paris. The capital has a legacy that combines pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern architecture, making Mexico City a cosmopolitan city. The old Mexico-Tenochtitlán, capital of the Aztec Empire, has been transformed into "Mexico City". The metropolis of Latin America. 🏢🏣🏡⛲
