🇲🇽 In my opinion, CDMX is the best capital city of América and one of the best in the whole world. Viva México 🎉🇲🇽🎉

I just got back from my first visit to Mexico City and while I didn’t watch this until now, I can say that this is a really good quick guide! One interesting side note that he didn’t mention is that CDMX (Mexico City) is really progressive! Has a great public bikeshare system (like many US cities), bike lanes all over, plastic bags in grocery stores are not allowed, and same sex marriage has been legal for years. I was there for five nights and, after watching this video, I realize I could have stayed for two weeks!

Chilango over here, this is by far the best video of cdmx I have seen. Regarding places to stay you're absolutely right, many people stay in condesa-roma-polanco area, and as a south cdmx resident I think you are missing a lot of beautiful places in the city. as San Angel, Pedregal, CU, bosque de pedregral, bosque de tlalpan. So, you can also consider coyoacan as a great place to stay. :) welcome to our

This video beautifully captures the essence of Mexico City! 🌆 The vibrant colors, bustling streets, and rich cultural heritage make it a truly captivating destination. From the historic landmarks like the Zócalo and the stunning architecture of the Palacio de Bellas Artes to the mouthwatering street food and lively markets, Mexico City offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

Loved that you used the term "hipstery" to describe La Condesa & Roma!

Nice job! We are frequent visitors to Mexico City and I can attest to the quality of info you provide here. After having stayed in several areas - I would not recommend staying in Centro. We stayed in the Gran Hotel (James Bond Spectre) one time. It was beautiful, and right on the Zocalo - but the area was dead and a bit sketchy at night. Perhaps a happy middle ground is Juarez - an easy walk to Centro and the restaurants of Roma. Another good area is Navarte - just south of Roma (cheaper and more locals). For museums, I would also recommend the Museo Nacional De Arte (MUNAL) - in Centro. A gorgeous building and they get some great visiting exhibitions (we saw a Caravaggio there). We also loved the Contemporary Art museum at the university (UNAM). Good luck with your channel - you are on the right track!
