Well deserved UNESCO world heritage site!. Built in the 16th century, Morelia is an outstanding example of urban planning which combines the ideas of the Spanish Renaissance with the Mesoamerican experience.

Polanco

One of Mexico City's more upscale neighborhoods with a variety of interesting shops and quality restaurants.

Reviewed By MarinaB650 - Merida, Mexico

A very elegant and eclectic residential area, where most of the Embassies are located. I have visited the Embassy of my country and took the opportunity to walk the elegant streets of Polanco, guarded and shaded by majestic pine trees and palm trees. Palacio de Hierro is close-by, high international cuisine restarurants and a general atmosphere to make one believe one was in Beverly Hills. I would definitely live here if I ever move to CDMX.

Coyoacan

Coyoacan, a former village and now one of the 16 boroughs of Mexico City, is a historic center. It is a popular place to visit, especially on weekends, because many of the original layouts, plazas and narrow streets have been preserved and date from the 16th to the early 20th centuries.

We stayed in this neighborhood in an AirBnB and loved this charming and historic part of Mexico City. Especially wonderful is the main square in which you can see all types of people of all ages enjoying the outdoors, kissing on benches and enjoying the fountains and performers. We delighted in how vibrant and alive everything was in the evenings - so many families and kids strolling even after 10-11pm. Loved it!
