FUTURISTIC LIBRARY IN MEXICO CITY | Eileen Aldis

One of the coolest things to see in Mexico City is a futuristic library called Biblioteca Vasconcelos. It reminds me of something from a sci-fi novel or film. I gasped when I first saw it and it just got more and more incredible the further in I went. The architecture is stunning and unique, like no place I've ever seen before. It was designed by Alberto Kalach and opened in 2007 after three consecutive years of building. There are over half a million books spread out over 38,000 square metres or 409,000 square feet. It's called a 'mega library' because it's actually five libraries melded into one. There are tons of places to sit and work, free wifi, courses and workshops, as well as other community events like free concerts. Don't miss the balconies that give you fantastic views of the Zocalo of Mexico City. If you're a book lover like me or enjoy seeing outstanding architecture, Biblioteca Vasconcelos should not be missed! It's one of the most memorable and favourite places I visited.

I'm a book lover myself haha The library reminds me of something in Dr. Strange I love it. You're right the massiveness of this library could only have a whale as a centerpiece.

We're book lovers and were gutted we couldn't see the library. We got there and it turned out they were on day 1 of a 3 day stocktake. We ended up sitting outside with a hoard of locals who were always caught out. Great to see it in your video.

Your infatuation with Mexico City is so big and obvious Eileen! And I see myself in you cuz I'm the same way about this city. You've been in Colombia for like a month and you still can't stop talking about Mexico City, don't get me wrong I know Colombia is beautiful but your obsession with Mexico City is glaring! :)
