Traffic, markets, music, people everywhere... it can be overwhelming at first, but over time, you begin to enjoy the mix that is so unique to Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved how the city combines history, art, gastronomy, and everyday life in every corner: from Aztec vestiges in the heart of the city center to Diego Rivera murals, world-class museums, and street food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I was only in Mexico City for two days, a time that was too short for everything it has to offer, I tried to make the most of it and walk its streets as much as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The history of Mexico City dates back to pre-Hispanic times, when the Mexica founded <strong>Tenochtitlan<\/strong> in the middle of Lake Texcoco in 1325. This city became one of the most powerful and advanced on the continent, with canals, temples, and a political and social organization that surprised even the Spanish conquistadors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In 1521, after the fall of Tenochtitl\u00e1n, the Spanish built Mexico City on its ruins, which became the capital of the viceroyalty of New Spain. Numerous buildings, churches, and plazas from that colonial era remain, merging with the modernity of the city today.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/chapultepec01.jpg\" alt=\"El Valle de M\u00e9xico desde Chapultepec.

With 12 lines covering much of Mexico City, it connects tourist areas, neighborhoods, and transfer stations. The fare is very cheap (less than $0.30 per ride), although it can be very crowded during rush hour. It's important to take care of your belongings and avoid empty cars at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metrobus\"><\/span>Metrobus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The Metrobus operates on dedicated lanes and connects several important areas, such as downtown with Coyoac\u00e1n, Polanco, and the Basilica of Guadalupe.

Some of these areas include <strong>Iztapalapa, Tepito, parts of Ecatepec, and certain peripheral areas in the south and north of the city<\/strong>. In these places, it is advisable not to walk alone, not to display valuables, and, if possible, to travel in a reliable taxi or through secure apps like Uber or Didi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, with common sense and caution, it's possible to enjoy Mexico City without problems, but it's always important to be informed about the areas and times to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Donde_hospedarse_en_Ciudad_de_Mexico\"><\/span>Where to stay in Mexico City<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right area to stay in Mexico City makes a big difference when it comes to enjoying the city, especially in terms of safety and proximity to attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Centro_Historico\"><\/span>Historic Center<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Staying in the Historic Center allows you to be close to the main tourist attractions: the Z\u00f3calo, the Cathedral, the National Palace, and museums like the Templo Mayor and Bellas Artes. It's ideal for those who want to walk through historic streets and be surrounded by culture. There are boutique hotels, hostels, and some luxury chains. At night, it's best to be cautious and limit your outings to crowded areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coyoacan_y_San_Angel\"><\/span>Coyoac\u00e1n and San \u00c1ngel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">These neighborhoods offer a quieter, more bohemian atmosphere. <strong>Coyoac\u00e1n<\/strong> is famous for Frida Kahlo's Blue House, plazas and cafes; <strong>San \u00c1ngel<\/strong> stands out for its colonial architecture and weekend art markets.

They are safe neighborhoods with parks, restaurants, bars, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. Modern hostels, boutique hotels, and short-term rental apartments predominate here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polanco\"><\/span>Polanco<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Polanco<\/strong> is the most exclusive area, with luxury hotels, haute cuisine restaurants and premium shopping centers.

With that time you can visit the <strong>Historic Center<\/strong>, museums, neighborhoods like <strong>Coyoac\u00e1n and Roma-Condesa<\/strong>, the <strong>Chapultepec Forest<\/strong> and take at least one day trip to nearby places like <strong>Teotihuac\u00e1n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you have <strong>a week or more<\/strong>, you can also explore <strong>Xochimilco, Puebla, Taxco or Toluca<\/strong>, enjoy more museums, parks and local cuisine, and take more time to absorb the daily life of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Como_ir_del_aeropuerto_al_centro_de_Ciudad_de_Mexico\"><\/span>How to get from the airport to downtown Mexico City<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Getting to <strong>downtown CDMX from Benito Ju\u00e1rez International Airport (AICM)<\/strong> is quite easy, and there are several options depending on your budget and convenience:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/mexico30.jpg\" alt=\"Mural dentro del aeropuerto de la ciudad de M\u00e9xico\" class=\"wp-image-40424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/mexico30.jpg 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/mexico30-533x400.jpg 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mural inside the Mexico City airport<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metro-2\"><\/span>Metro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The <strong>metro<\/strong> is the cheapest option. From Terminal 1 of the airport you can take <strong>Line 5 (yellow)<\/strong> to the <strong>Pantitl\u00e1n<\/strong> station, and there transfer to <strong>Line 9 (brown)<\/strong> or <strong>Line 1 (pink)<\/strong> which will take you to the historic center. The ride costs less than $0.30, but keep in mind that it can be very crowded during rush hour and it's not the most comfortable option if you have a lot of luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Autobuses_y_Metrobus\"><\/span>Buses and Metrobus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Another alternative is the <strong>Metrobus Line 4<\/strong>, which connects the two airport terminals with the city center and some strategic points in the city. It's a little more convenient than the metro and also very economical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taxi_y_apps-2\"><\/span>Taxi and apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">For added convenience and safety, especially if you're traveling with luggage or at night, you can use authorized airport taxis or apps like Uber, Didi, or Cabify. They're more expensive than public transportation, but reliable and direct, taking approximately 30\u201345 minutes depending on traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Autobuses_de_aeropuerto_y_traslados_privados\"><\/span>Airport buses and private transfers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">There are also <strong>shuttle or private transfer services<\/strong>, ideal for groups or families. Some hotels offer transportation to and from the airport, simplifying your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mejor_epoca_para_visitar\"><\/span>Best time to visit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Mexico City has a <strong>temperate climate<\/strong> year-round, but the best times to visit are from <strong>March to May<\/strong> and from <strong>September to November<\/strong>, when rainfall is scarce and temperatures are pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Summer (June to August) can bring afternoon rain, although mornings are usually sunny, while winter (December to February) is cool, with sunny days and cold nights, ideal for exploring the city without so many tourist crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reflexiones_sobre_mi_visita_a_Ciudad_de_Mexico\"><\/span>Thoughts on my visit to Mexico City<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">My visit to <strong>Mexico City<\/strong> was brief: I was only able to stay <strong>two days<\/strong>, since my trip was a <strong>stopover to <a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/itinerario-de-viaje-a-japon-y-corea-del-sur\/\" target=\"_self\">Japan<\/a><\/strong>. Even so, those two days I walked a lot and was able to feel a little bit of the essence of the city, although I know that I still had a lot to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every street, square, and neighborhood in Mexico City exudes history. It reminded me a lot of Cusco, because it's one of the Latin American cities where the legacy of the conquest is most felt. The pre-Hispanic and colonial influences coexist with intense, modern urban life, creating a unique contrast that gives the capital its unique character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Overall, I liked the city: its energy, its culture, the museums and neighborhoods like Coyoac\u00e1n, as well as its colonial heritage. However, I found several areas to be <strong>dirty and a bit shady<\/strong>, something that tends to happen in many large South American capitals. Despite that, I'm sure I'd like to return one day to explore more thoroughly and give this fascinating, contrasting city the time it deserves.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visitar la Ciudad de M\u00e9xico es sumergirse en una de las urbes m\u00e1s vibrantes y ca\u00f3ticas de Am\u00e9rica Latina.
