What to See in Mexico City: History at High Altitude!, Mexico City, Mexico

What to see in Mexico City in three days means excluding something. The Mexican capital, in fact, is huge. Since I was a child, Mexico City has caught my attention. In fact, as a good sports lover, I remember that Mennea and Moser set records in the 200 floors and the hour record in Mexico City.

Visiting Mexico City means choosing what to see. Everyone has their own tastes and, therefore, in this post I list the places that are most important to me: I leave, however, a list of other places to see in case you have more than three days. In the post you can also find a map of Mexico City and a three-day itinerary. I’m already telling you: Mexico City is an all-consuming city. The times to get from one place to another are endless, whether by metro, metrobus or if you use Uber.

Mexico City is world famous for its dangerousness, which I will elaborate on later in the information chapter.

Although this is a mostly residential neighborhood, it offers beautiful places such as the Plaza de Rio de Janeiro (where there is a copy of Michelangelo’s David in the middle of a fountain), Plaza Luis Cabrera, Plaza de la Romita, and the Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia. ......
