Mexico City Travel Guide - Top 10 things to do - Solo traveling
I just spent 1 month traveling around Mexico, and my last stop was the capital, Mexico City! It’s located 2200 meters above sea level, and it’s one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world. With its 22 million inhabitants, it’s become incredibly dense, hectic, loud, and overwhelming, BUT I loved it!
In today’s episode, I had the pleasure of working with Get Your Guide, an online travel agency specializing in guided tours and excursions. They offer over 60,000 curated experiences in more than 3,600 destinations worldwide. I used Get Your Guide to book a lot of the activities in today’s episode, it was so easy, and I had the best time!
If you are traveling to a new country or being a tourist in your own city, make sure to check out Get Your Guide! They have everything from skip-the-line tickets to tourist attractions, food tours, Mezcal tasting, boat trips, and more.

Let me know below, I'm excited to hear your answers! 🥰
It's safer than Chicago. My wife and I live in Morelia, about 180 miles West of Mexico City. Most Mexican cities are pretty safe, as long as you don't get involved in criminal activities. The most dangerous areas are near the US border, such as Tijuana and Juarez.
Common sense and an open mind to form your own opinion is all that is needed to have a splendid time in Mexico City You find danger in every city in the world but happiness is only for those who decide to take the leap

This was such a great video!! It got me super excited for my trip this fall 😊
Great video !!..Next time go to PARQUE LA MEXICANA, a Huge Park, Amazing Landscape, Lakes, Cafes, Restaurants, Awesome Architecture and more, Don´t miss neighborhoods like Chimalistac and Polanco.

Thanks for the tips Danielle! There was so many parks I wanted to check out. I have to laugh that we weren't even able to go to the the castle in Chapultepec, I found it weird that parks had a closing time in Mexico City, but I guess it's for safety? My husband is going there next week, so I will forward him these recommendation! Do you know anything fun happening during Day of the Dead in Mexico City?

Hola , algunos lugares están cerrados los días lunes generalmente y en las festividades de días de muertos hay muchas actividades en diferentes lugares , el desfile en paseo de la reforma es muy bello , hay desfile de " catrinas" también muy bello y el barrio de Misquic en CDMX es tradicional por la forma de rendir culto a sus difuntos !👍
Mexico City and Rome are my favorite cities, the people are so effortlessly cooool 🏆 and yes I loved the vintage shops too! lovely video Camilla ❤️
Yes would love a video or a longer list of ur favorite vintage shopping stores ! ❤ I will be visiting Mexico City for the first time next week and staying in the Roma area thank you! Great video

But it's massive, but you will have the best time in the neighborhoods I mentioned at the end of the video ❤️ They have all the best vintage stores etc! I will do my best in uploading that video, my vintage video from Rome actually did pretty good! Where are you from? I would love to visit your little store one day! I do have to say one thing, the vintage prices are way better in New York City compared to Mexico, I think the stores in Mexico city was curated way better, and as I said it was like small museums. But New York have way better prices. Hugs from Camilla

Chapultepec forest is 4 times bigger than Central Park* Google it! Greetings from Queretaro, Mexico.
The musician sings a very tradicional song called ‘Querreque’ from La Huasteca, a vast region shared by Veracruz, Hidalgo, San Luis y Tamaulipas, and the tradition is to make up ‘coplas’ or lyrics in a funny way over ‘Querreque’ music base.

Nice vlog! You missed some of my favorite vegan restaurants in Mexico City! In case someone craves food from south east Mexico (Oaxaca, Chiapas, Yucatan), "Na Tlali" in the San Angel neighborhood is awesome for that. Also "Vegamo", which you can find both in the Centro and the Roma neighborhoods, if you're into ramen "V-Ramen" is a great place, available also in Roma and close to San Angel, near the UNAM university, and if you like more experimental food "Mi Dulce Jacalito" is in the Santa Maria la Ribera neighborhood, and they have delicious food with decorations and a bit of molecular stuff too, the place where it's located is nothing special but if you ask to sit upstairs you'll find a very cozy Van Gogh decorated space. Vegan food in Mexico City is definitely a growing and very tasty scene!
Nice video 👋👍👍👍
You’re my favorite vegan 🌱 😊

The name of the song dedicated to you is called "El Querreque," which is from my home region in La Huasteca! They're really good at improvising "verses" for people when they "serenade" you (both men AND women) with often funny, "made-up anecdotes" without even KNOWING YOU!! lol

I love this video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
