Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City surprises visitors with its walkability and depth. The Centro Historico alone contains the massive Zocalo, the sunken ruins of the Templo Mayor, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, all within a few blocks of each other. The tree-lined neighborhoods of Roma and Condesa offer Art Deco and Art Nouveau architecture, hip cafes, and excellent restaurants along quiet, shaded streets. Coyoacan feels like a village with its colonial-era plazas and the blue-walled Casa Azul, where Frida Kahlo lived and worked. The Chapultepec Park is one of the largest urban parks in the Western Hemisphere, housing the National Museum of Anthropology — one of the world's great museums. Sunday closures on Paseo de la Reforma open miles of the grand boulevard to walkers, cyclists, and families.

Mexico City sits at 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) above sea level — the altitude can cause shortness of breath during your first days. Walk at a relaxed pace and stay hydrated until you acclimatize.
October through April is the dry season with clear blue skies and comfortable temperatures. March through May can be the warmest months, but afternoon showers in summer bring dramatic skies.
