Alameda Central
Mexico City has a long and interesting history. The city is divided into 16 boroughs (delegaciones) which in turn are split into neighbourhoods (colonias). Mexico City has many old towns like San Angel, Tlalpan and Coyoacan where visitors can experience the Mexican traditions which are preserved in these towns.
Mexico City is steeped in history with plenty of interesting places to see and things to do.
Alameda Central
Originally an Aztec market place and an execution site during the Spanish Inquisition, this is now a park and the oldest attraction in the city. The park is home to the Palace of Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes) which houses a theatre, concert hall and museum.
Zocalo Square (Plaza de la Consitution)
Located in the Centro Historico district, Zocalo Square is a busy attraction which is used for festivals, celebrations, ceremonies, rallies and protests. Thousands of people come to the square on 16th September every year to celebrate ‘independence day’. On the north side of the square you will find the Catedral Metropolitana and on the east side is the Federal Treasury and the National Archives.
Plaza de las Tres Culturas
The plaza gives an insight into three different Mexican cultures all fused together in one place. Here you can marvel at the sight of Spanish, Aztec and contemporary Mexican architecture. Visitors on their last minute holiday deals to Mexico City can explore the ruins of an Aztec ceremonial site, the Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco College built in 1535 and the Santiago Tlatelolco Church built in 1609 here in the plaza.
Catedral Metropolitana
This is the oldest and largest cathedral in Latin America. Building of the cathedral started in the 16th century. The cathedral is a mix of baroque and neoclassical architecture and has four identical domes with a row of supporting columns. Paintings and altarpieces inside the building attract many tourists.
Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe
This is the holiest church of Catholicism in the Americas. Built on the spot where a man called Juan Diego claimed to have seen a vision of a beautiful lady in a blue mantle in 1531, the site is a place of pilgrimage on 12th December every year.
Temple Mayor
Located in the Zocalo next to the Catedral Metropolitana is the archaelogical site of Temple Mayor. The ruins of an ancient temple were found here in 1978 which attract many visitors to the ruins and museum.
Angel de la Independencia
Commonly known as el Angel, this symbol of victory was built between 1902 and 1910. Located on a roundabout over Paseo de la Reforma in downtown Mexico City, this famous landmark serves as a gathering place for celebrations.
La Feria de Chapultepec
Children visiting Mexico City on their direct holidays will love this amusement park. The park is very popular with local children and has the first roller-coaster in the country.
Unlike the beach resorts of Mexico, Mexico City rarely gets too hot, even in the summer months. April and May are the warmest months with June through to September enjoying warm days but often cool, wet evenings. November through to February sees the coldest weather and is also the worse time in Mexico City for air pollution.
