Centro Historico de Morelia

Reviewed By tenesc - Mexico, null

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.

Teotihuacan Pyramids

Reviewed By leahau - Regina, Canada

Teotihuacán pyramids are incredible. Pyramid of the sun abs pyramid of the moon can both be climbed, as well as some smaller pyramids. The steps are rough and very steep and sometimes uneven. They have hand rails on most sections of the climb up and down. Beautiful views from both pyramids. There is also locals selling their handicrafts at the entrance and exit as well as within the site. I didn’t notice any water being sold so being your own. It can get very hot. There are bathrooms near the entrance. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted a free history tour. We followed a lady in her motorbike to a little store where someone talked about the agave plant and we sampled some tequila. Then we were asked to look through their store. — avoid this if you do not want to purchase anything or get the “history” which wasn’t actually given. Highly recommend this visit. It’s a ways out of Mexico City, but worth the drive.

Zocalo

One of the largest public plazas in the world, the Zócalo is the heart of Mexico City and is one of the city's most famous attractions.

Reviewed By susanaquerida - Vancouver, Canada

We saw the zocalo for the 2nd time at Christmas. Wow. The lights on the municipal hall, there was a stage for performers, an ice rink, it was amazing. Of course it's very crowded, but that's Mexico City.

El Jardin

The city's crowded center plaza is located at the heart of the historic district.

One of our guides described it as the living room of SMA. Just before sunset people of all ages fill the zocalo. It's exciting to watch and walk around

Historic Center (Centro Historico)

The designated location of many of Mexico's older colonial structures.

Reviewed By 720hassan - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

The historical district is a must to enjoy in Mexico city. Many different and beautiful architectures everywhere and ever corner. Lots of walking paths with big numbers of shopping and dining options. You can as well enjoy big number of live shows and musics around with fantastic Mexican rituals near the main square and the cathedral. Without visiting the historical centre, don't count your visit to Mexico city as you are really missing huge enjoyment in this beautiful district. Highly recommended
