Tacos, Castles, and Culture: My Mexico City Highlights 🌮 🇲🇽

As North America’s biggest city, Mexico City is bursting at the seems with things to do, food to eat, and neighborhoods to explore. I spent five days in this melting pot and here’s what i recommend for a short stay in the city: 1️⃣ Explore Condesa and Roma Norte Known for being two of the safest neighborhoods in the city, both districts are havens for food lovers and photography enthusiasts. 2️⃣ Get Lost in the Historic Center Centro Histórico is a busy neighborhood in CDMX with a huge square known as the Zócalo at its center. You can really feel how old the city is in this area particularly at the Templo Mayor Museum. After a morning at the museum, wander the countless streets surrounding the cathedral or enjoy the views of the Palacio de Bellas Artes from the Finca Don Porfirio Cafe. 3️⃣ Chapultepec Castle Immerse yourself in Mexico City’s history at this extravagant castle. You can hire a guide or explore by yourself for around $5. The views from the terrace of Mexico City’s business district are incredible. 4️⃣ Tacos and Bikes One of my favorite experiences in CDMX. A knowledgeable foodie from El Taco Club will guide you around Condesa and Roma to taste some of the city’s best tacos. The tour combines food, sightseeing, and biking. I never knew there were so many different types of tacos until I took this tour! 5️⃣ Torre Latinoamérica Marvel at the sheer size of CDMX from above. The city sprawls out in all directions and the view is best enjoyed at sunset. Tickets are around 10$ and i recommend buying them there as buying them online in advance can cause problems. 6️⃣ Coyoacán A vibrant neighborhood south of downtown known for Frida Kahlo’s blue house. The queue can be quite long to get into the museum but there’s so much to do in this neighborhood. Take your camera and go on a street photography tour or enjoy some shopping at a local market. 🏨 Where to stay: La Condesa is considered one of the safest areas in CDMX and it’s very popular with tourists! Condesa Suites are highly rated and in a convenient location! 🍔 Where to eat: 🌯Sanborns Madero 🌮 Taqueria Los Cucuyos 🌮 Cariñito Tacos ☕️ Barrio Café 🍫 Churrería El Moro #trip #tripmoments #photography #mexico #explore #exploresgtogether #travelphotography #travel
