NEIGHBORHOODS

Mexico City is carved into neighborhoods, each with its own cultural identity. The Centro Historico (or the Historic Center) neighborhood is home to a massive plaza called the Zócalo, the National Palace, and numerous cathedrals and endless museums. The Polanco neighborhood provides high-end shopping and dining to the delight of many a traveler. Chapultepec serves as a solid home base for tourists, with multiple hotels, monuments and attractions along the Avenida Reforma, reminiscent of Paris's Champs-Elysées, while Leafy Condesa touts cafés and an artsy, bohemian vibe.

ARCHAEOLOGY

The most well-known archaeological jaunt from Mexico City is to the ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan, located about 25 miles northeast. Established around 100 B.C., the city was once home to 125,000. Today the site, which covers some 32 square miles, draws thousands who come to marvel at its still-standing pyramids and avenues. Numerous tour companies also offer transportation, guided tours with archaeologists and even hot air balloon rides over the site.

RESTAURANTS

Mexico City is having a major food moment these days. With its vibrant and eclectic culture, the city is a magnet for chefs and foodies alike. And its culinary game runs the gamut: from one of the best street-food scenes in the world to high-end dining courtesy of celebrity chefs. You’ll find native dishes like tamales, chicarrónes, tacos, tortas and elotes abound, but you’ll also find restaurants infused with Mediterranean, Spanish and Baja, California influences.

Mexico City is in a tropical location at a high elevation, which means that the temperatures and precipitation in its boroughs depend on how high they are in the mountains. On average though, its annual temperatures vary from around 54-61°F. Temperatures rarely dip below 37°F or rise above 86°F. Most of the rainfall the city sees comes in the summer months, from June through September or October.
