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.

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

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, 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!

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

An old fountain rests at the center of this bucolic plaza, located in Puebla's historic district.

The first thing about a trip to Mexico is that Mexico is everything you didn’t know about Mexico…. and more ~ and in a land that offers the very best of cross-cultural experiences ranging back thousands of years, to today’s best, modern-day, but tradition-based foods and accompaniments, and offers everything in a dazzling array of colors, shapes and flavors. The cuisine is exotic, unfailingly creative, unerringly spiced and flavored, and exquisitely balanced in more ways than one would think possible. Forget tacos, nachos and tortillas.. that’s just scratching the surface of a vast repertoire that sucks you in and keeps your head spinning with more. Raw, fresh vegetables, dried herbs and preserved flowers, roots and other plant parts are creatively incorporated loosely and unhesitatingly into the mainstream of the meal: so much so that some dishes, when served, appear like floral arrangements more to delight the eye than the palette… but if you didn’t know better, you’d miss out hugely. Me ? I hadn’t a clue… but what a way to learn !! It grabs you by your taste-buds, and then dances around swinging you like a rag doll until it’s done… which may be never. We were invited to visit Mexico by a dear friend from our neighborhood in NY, who goes there every year. This was a special treat, and we were really lucky to be able to accept. Besides staying with her in Puebla for 5 days, we spent two days in Mexico City and then 2 days in Puerto Vallarta. Each place was an experience in a culture that amazed and delighted. Puebla has dozens of amazing restaurants all over the ancient city. The biggest attraction, though, is the 40-plus churches scattered across almost every central block in the City. And the main central square, the Zocalo, is the principal meeting place in town, where everything happens… slow and easy. On weekends, this space is filled with market stalls, hawkers, tradesmen, and the like, and the surrounding arcade is taken over by the numerous restaurants that occupy the square, offering fresh and delightfully prepared foods for a traditional breakfast, brunch or well into the evening meal, all eaten at out-door tables set up amongst a dazzling array of local tradesmen selling their wares as they walk around carrying impossible loads of things, wearing stacks of hats, and also carrying children on their hip, to boot. Fascinating. But unlike such hawkers in other countries, these folks do not bother you at your table unless one were to call them for something. So, this was our first full day there, and Sunday is market day, so we went out for a late breakfast, and I mean late: pre-siesta, almost… at the Zocalo. We settled at an establishment that looked promising, Puerta Azul, on the shady side of the vast square, and helped ourselves to a sumptuous meal of eggs, chicken bits, round crispy tortillas with shrimp and salsa, chicken with another kind and a bunch of beers and tequila (yes !) to start our day. When in Mexico, do as the …? The brunch was served buffet style, so you help yourself to as much as you like and they bring you the coffee, juices and drinks as you ask for them. No rush: it’s just another day in the park. For the three of us, our tab came out to 432 pesos, which at the time was about $22.00. Amazing, how far the Dollar goes in some places.
