Things to do in Mexico City

a must go! It was really awesome going through and learning the history from different parts of Mexico. Last Wednesday of each month, you can go in at night and free of charge, really cool. Not as crowded as the days can be. But a few exhibits are closed, so I will have to go again in the future. haha.

The museum is so beautiful. Very tranquil and peaceful for a visit. It says you a limited to a 1 hour time, but that’s not accurate, you can kind of stay as long as you like. There was no real option of a guide in English or anything. In most museums you can have like an audio guide. But not here. I would also say it’s a little pricy considering the size of the museum. Make sure to book in advance on the official website for the best price.

On Saturday morning, I took a walk in Mexico City, where traffic suddenly became less, and the air suddenly became better. I walked 2.5 kilometers and felt the joy of exercise. I saw many people in the park area on holidays, and I saw children happily visiting the zoo. Although there were not many animals, the natural ecology was well maintained.

Chapultepec Castle is a truly unique place. It is the only royal castle on the American continent, having served as a military fortress, royal palace, and presidential residence for centuries, and is now a historical museum. This weathered castle sits atop the lush Chapultepec Hill, overlooking the entire city.

The Great Temple is located next to the central square. It is a super convenient attraction. The original temple has been destroyed by Spanish colonists. Only the tower base and stone steps remain, but the architecture of that time is still amazing👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The historic center of Mexico City is centered on the Constitution Square and has many historical buildings, including the National Palace, the Cathedral, the Great Temple, the Art Museum, the Latin American Tower, etc. It has both Mayan relics and many relics left by Spanish colonization. It is the most worth visiting place in Mexico City.

The Mexico City Cathedral is a massive structure constructed of basalt and gray sandstone. Its walls are thick and reinforced with thick iron chains for earthquake resistance. The cathedral is laid out in a traditional Latin cross pattern, with a central nave and two side aisles. The central nave is a long, rectangular structure, 110 meters long from north to south and 55 meters wide from east to west. The altar, deep within the central nave, is covered by a classic Renaissance dome. The vault features numerous ornate arches and reliefs. The side aisles, intersecting the central nave in a cross-shaped pattern, house numerous smaller altars and seven chapels. Some of these chapels have been subsequently renovated and altered by artists from various artistic schools.

Mexico City's Constitution Square is the center of the city. It is said that the very simple buildings around the square are where the president's office is located. As long as you register, you can enter the building for a visit. There is also a magnificent church with amazing interior decoration.

I like the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. They complement each other and are particularly spectacular. They are the most recommended tourist attractions near Mexico City. Autumn is especially suitable for climbing the pyramids, especially the cool and refreshing autumn weather.

I haven't been there, but it's worth a visit. There's nothing particularly special about it, though; it's just okay for a stroll.
