Must See Sights and Landmarks in Mexico Area

"Make sure to check out Chapultepec Castle while you’re there, which feels more like something you might find in Versailles, France, than in this vibrant Latin American country. The castle has a small entrance fee and is home to the National Museum of History, where you can get a great insight into Mexico’s past."

"Chapultapec Castle: the Paseo de la Reforma is the main street that closes for pedestrians and bikes on Sunday morning, so on our way to the castle we observed like all of Mexico City riding bikes and running."

"Calle Querétaro 225, Roma Nte., 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico. Beer drinkers beware, once you visit this classic beer garden at Mercado Roma you may never want to leave. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Biergarten because it’s where Dan and I unwound after our first (of now, unfortunately, many) earthquakes in Mexico City."

"Mercado de Roma is located, unsurprisingly, in the Roma neighborhood of CDMX. In line with the area’s stylish reputation, this Mexico City street food market has a hipster vibe with many popular local cafes serving food from pop up stalls. Here you can eat chilaquiles, tacos, and many other Mexican dishes."

"Mercado Roma is unlike the traditional Mexico City markets we’ve highlighted. This market is part of the newer generation of Mexico City markets. It was the first gourmet market in Mexico City and it resembles a food hall more than a food market."

"Barrio Alameda was once an Art Deco building but was renovated and turned into one of the best shopping malls in Mexico City. It is the home to a plethora of trendy fashion and design boutiques, and it also has plenty of chic open-air eateries serving a variety of both local and international cuisines. One feature you will admire about Barrio Alameda is that it usually has a higher number of regular sales compared to the rest, and as such, it is a nice place to frequent if you are looking for generous discounts."

"Enter this converted art deco building at the edge of the Alameda for inspired shopping, where plants drip from sleek railings and soft lamps. Three levels of boutiques showcase locally designed clothing,..."

"The former home of Emilio "El Indio" Fernandez offers a unique window into the world of this award-winning Mexican filmmaker. Few international tourists seek out the museum, but a visit offers deeper insights into Fernandez's life and the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. As you walk around, you'll see his possessions as he originally used them."

"If you’re looking for some green space with a heavy dash of inspiring urban renewal, check out one of Mexico City’s youngest parks, the Parque Bicentenario. The story of the Bicentenario is just as interesting as the park itself. Situated in the middle of a bustling working class, semi-industrial area of Azcapotzalco in northern Mexico City, this large park began its life as a Pemex Oil Refinery!"

"Chili's is par excellence a representative of the American Southwest food. Open for lunch and dinnerDress code: CasualPhone: +52 55 3246 4189. Mediterranean, 0.1 MILES"

"En Chili’s estamos convencidos de que los alimentos combinan perfectamente con el placer de un consumo responsable; es por eso que nos esforzamos en la calidad y sabor de los platillos que ofrecemos, logrando mantener el sabor que tanto te gusta utilizando todos los días verduras y frescas...See More"

"If you want your Pad Thai piled high, then this is the place to come. We ventured out one dark and rainy evening to find a large portion of authentic, hot Thai food. While the food isn’t mind blowing, it’s good and filling, and it’s one of the better green Thai curries I ate in Mexico."
