Mexico City is the cultural epicenter of the country of Mexico. A visit to the Palacio Nacional opens your eyes to beautiful patios and halls decorated with murals, which portray Mexican history and culture. Known colloquially as D.F., the City of Mexico abounds in fascinating sites worth a look dating from yesteryears to the more modern and cosmopolitan.
A tour of Mexico City is enchanting for the simple reason that it has almost everything a visitor could aspire to experience. A lively culture, exquisite cuisine, world famous art, mariachi, traditional handicrafts, architecture and the omnipresent fiesta are the range of attractions that the city holds forth for the tourists. In addition, you can tire yourself shopping, trekking, visiting interesting museums, or entertaining yourself at theatres.
The Bosque de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Woods) and its surrounding green space is an interesting place to begin to get the feel of Mexico City. There are many museums to be found here, notable among them being the Museo Nacional de Antropologia, Rufino Tamayo Museum, Museo de Arte Moderno and Papalote Nacional de Historia. However, the main attraction in the park, which will catch your eyes, is the Castillo de Chapultepec. Not very far is the La Feria, the city's oldest amusement park. Here, nestled among the woods, you can catch a glimpse of Los Pinos, the official residence of the President. You can also make a tour of the Auditorio Nacional, the auditorium where world famous performances are staged.
Enjoy all this and more while basking under the hospitality of Mexico City hotels where excellent services and facilities are assured to keep the guests happy and satisfied. |
