Mexico City first time, and we only had two days. We’d heard good things, but we had no idea how green, clean and beautiful it would be, or how much there was to do.
If you’ve never been to Mexico City, this is what it’s really like for two first timers. We see a giant cathedral, a palace topped with golden domes, a huge museum full of Aztec treasures, and a city park bigger than Central Park, then wander leafy neighbourhoods full of cafes. It feels nothing like the Mexico City a lot of people picture.
Planning your first trip to Mexico City? We share what surprised us most, what the museum costs to get in, and how we used our two days. Stay to the end to hear whether we’d come back.
