  • Mexico City is HUGE! In fact, it’s bigger than New York City! Often abbreviated as CDMX, Mexico City is divided into 16 districts. Because of its size, there are so many things to see and do and it can be a bit overwhelming when planning a trip.
    To help you with your plans, I’ve compiled a list of my top 10 things to do in the city! These are in no specific order and there’s way more to do than what I’m listing here, but this is a good starting point. Besides, I’ve added some extras within each “thing” to do, so there’s really quite a bit more!

    I just returned from my 4th trip to Mexico City and this pretty much nailed some of the best things to do and see. The only things I would add are Plaza Garibaldi for the mariachi, Xochimilco for the nature and Arena Mexico for the luchadores. 😁

    Hi there, from Ouray, Colorado! We just arrived to Mexico City on Exploration Trip #2 to look for a spot to part time expat. Our first trip was 2 months ago to Mazatlan. We really liked it there, except for the heat/humidity. Granted, we will stay in the winter and it isn't too bad then. But, I would like a place that works year round in the event we stay in the summer or mire full time.
    Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your tips! I have added the ones that weren't already on our list.
    Safe travels!

    • @ToddsMexico
      @ToddsMexico  Před rokem +1

      Mexico City is a great year round place to stay, the weather is the best. I can't take the heat at the beaches or hot cities in the summer. Thanks for watching!

      @@ToddsMexico Hi there! We, sadly, just returned to our house in CO after visiting Mexico City. We absolutely loved it!
      As always, we thought we generally would be targeting Centro for the places that we visit as we like to do stuff. In Mazatlan, we liked Centro. I'd have to say that we didn't care for it as much in Mexico City .....for living. Partly, we just didn't get the vibe, for whatever reason. I'd assume because it is the heart of this great, mega city; so there probably is a factor of big city hurries. My disclaimer is that we did really like it and I'd foresee taking the metro to Centro frequently.
      We did also go visit the popular areas for gringos such as Roma, Condesa, and Polanco. We liked all of those areas with regards to stuff to do spread all over in a nice area. But, we didn't prefer the higher American/Canadian populations.
      Our favorite spot was over in Coyoacan! We visited there twice during the week. I guess the key thing during our visit there was my wife saying "I could see living here; I think this is what I'm looking for". Previously, after our Mazatlan visit, she did not have that feeling.
      My only regret was there are so many areas we did not get to see within the week.
      We totally dug the weather in Mexico City!! My guess is the bulk of our searching will now stay mostly up in the central highlands of the country. The weather was awesome during this week's visit!
      We are looking for an area that has access to stuff to do (cafe/restaurants/drinking), can walk to stuff to do, access to live music, culture/museums, and the ability to get to know our neighbors. We tend not to be folks that want to be surrounded by americans/canadians.
      So...as our plan previously was, we'll still plan to visit Oaxaca in February or March.
      Safe travels!!

    I'm going to Guanajuato, Guadalajara, La Paz, or Mexico City in the next 4 or 5 days. I haven't set my flight yet. I'm not married anymore so I don't want the romantic GF sight seeing. I want to eat, explore, drink, and enjoy the nightlife. My Spanish is limited. Where should I go??? Other places not mentioned that are better? I need to book flights in next day or so. Also, what part of city should I stay and name of hotel. It'd be best for me to be able to be in decent hotel and walk down street to bars, food, etc. Tijuana is 10min from my house, been going since I was 5yr old and has been 4 decades, and I go 5 days a week. I'm wanting a change of scenery and dive I to the markets, restaurants, etc... thanks in advance...

    • @ToddsMexico
      @ToddsMexico  Před 2 lety +1

      If you want to eat, come to Mexico City. Condesa or Roma Norte would be the closest walking distance to nightlife and restaurants. On the main strip in Roma Norte, The Four Points or Stanza are really close to the action. If you want to stay in a cheaper place, on the border of Condesa and Roma Norte, the Roosevelt is ok, nothing right by it, but everything is a 10-15 minute walk in both Roma and Condesa.

    • @TheYoungerSemiOldMan
      @TheYoungerSemiOldMan Před 2 lety +1

      @@ToddsMexico I'm used to Tijuana and use that as a gauge. In TJ, a 15-20min walk down the wrong blocks, which is really close to the main strip and action, could end you in a situation (robbed, shot, and/or kidnapped). Is MX city the same way? Meaning, walking 20min to that central nightlife area you spoke of, at 2am-3am, could cost you your life? So you have to literally get the hotel on the strip where you can walk freely as there will be a large public and police presence?

    • @ToddsMexico
      @ToddsMexico  Před 2 lety +1

      From the street where the Four Points is, you can walk 20-30 minutes in 3 directions and be fine usually, but bad things happen after 2am everywhere. Best to Uber if it's late, no matter where you are. Even in the best neighborhoods, you have to watch out late at night.
