A megacity of museums, murals and tacos
Mexico City is one of the world's great capitals, built on the ruins of Aztec Tenochtitlan and brimming with culture. Start at the Zócalo and the Templo Mayor, spend a morning in the National Museum of Anthropology, then drift through leafy Roma and Condesa. Diego Rivera's murals, Frida Kahlo's blue house and the canals of Xochimilco fill the days; tacos al pastor and mezcal fill the nights.
