Mexico city, Mexican patchwork
- Chapultepec: In the south West of the city, the park of Chapultepec is a real concentration of museums. We can name among others the museum of History, relating the destiny of the country, from the Aztec period to the myth Pancho Villa.
- Teotihuacán: A few kilometres away from Mexico city, this archaeological site is a high place of Mexican culture. The pyramids of the Sun and the Moon are just amazing. A must!!
- Zocálo: Like every Mexican city, Mexico City has its zocálo, its large central square. And what a square! With impressive dimensions, this square is characterized by the huge Mexican flag in its centre, facing the magnificent cathedral.

Between History and Modernism
- Night life: Try out the heat of the Mexican life by walking around in the “colonia” of Roma and Condesa. Start the night with a nice tapas and a frozen margarita before trying one of the numerous restaurants of these districs.
- Museum of Fine Arts: In the Historic Center of the city, the museum of Fine Arts characterises the European touch on Mexico City during the past years. You can’t miss the museum with its colourful cupola.
- Taxis: With around 1 taxi for every 100 inhabitants, Mexico City probably has the largest taxi float in the World. One characteristic: Most taxis are authentic green beetles. You will have to try a ride!
