Visiting Mexico City

Mexico city is the capital of the country. Also known as the DF (“Distrito Federal”, or Federal District), Mexico City has a number of interesting activities for the tourist.

Since it was founded in 1325, Mexico City has always been a social center where a wide variety of people from different places mixed themselves together to form a unique set of traditions and cultural achievements.

Sightseeing is one of the greatest attractions in Mexico City. The various buildings present in the City range from graceful and elegant to rough and even grotesque, and we can find buildings with centuries of history on them coexisting with modern constructions on the same street. It is not uncommon to walk round the corner on a gray, sad-looking street and bump into colorful festive marketplaces full of life.

Mexico city offers many sports to practice, soccer being the most popular one. Near the center of the City, the Aztec Stadium rises and hosts important national soccer matches every Sunday. Mexico City is especially festive on national holidays, as it fills with the color of the various parades and the “fiesta” fills the air. Don’t forget your camera when you visit the DF!

There is only one thing you cannot do in Mexico City: get bored.
