As a Mexican living currently abroad, and after living in four countries, I can assure that Mexico City (my hometown) is one of the most fascinating cities all over the world
As a Mexican I apologize for your bad experience in the past and admire you for giving it a 2nd chance, keep in mind that can and will happen anywhere in the world, great video!!! ❤👍👍👍💪
Thank you for your comment and the good reminder! It’s true-it’s best to be cautious anywhere we travel. We enjoyed our time in cdmx!
Shit, that can happen here in LA lol
No tienes que pedirle disculpas en cualquier parte del mundo asaltan y México no es la excepción y si van de bobos son presa fácil, si no le gusto pues que no regrese
You dont need to aplogize. Ive been robed in London and Spain, no one apologized to me. Human behavior is universal not endemic to Mexico.
Hi!!! Do you remember how much was ur bus ticket to the pyramids? I gotta stick to a budget. :)
As long as the world remains, the fame and glory of the great MEXICO TENOCHITLAN will not end.
Fue lo Ultimo que dijo el Ultimo emperador De Tenochtitlan mientras los españoles le torturaban quemandole los pies para que revelara el secreto del gran tesoro escondido y se dice y cuentan mismos españoles que Moctezuma no lloro, ni grito y solo murio quemado. De hay creeo que viene el dicho Mexicano que cuando en tiempos malos: Nadamas Le haces como Moctezuma(Solo hizo caras pero sin llorar)!!
Mexican food is Definitely one of the Best in The World 🌮🇲🇽
It’s so good! We crave it everywhere we go!!
I’ve been to a few mega cities around the world and by far Mexico City has to be the best one. The food, people, architecture and climate is something you can beat. Cheers!
It's a great mix of things to do and places to visit.
Moving back to Mexico City after being away for two years. I'm a permanent resident and now going back to stay. I fly tomorrow!
I'm Mexican, from Mexico City, I just watched your video and I loved it. Thank you so much for sharing it, this way you help many more people visit us... 😊
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! A Brit here, I went to Mexico City a couple of months ago and have been obsessing about it ever since. I *need* to go back! 5 days just wasn't enough. So much to see and do. Thanks for the inspo on what else I still need to do in the city whenever I'm lucky enough to return.
It's a great city - plenty to do too.
Ven a Guadalajara también querida, nos dará gusto recibirte.
El barrio de La Capilla de Jesús te gustará, especialmente el mercado , se come rico.
Saludos 👍 desde Guadalajara.
My land is your land.
have been living in Mexico City for over 2 years and I would say it´s one of the best cities I have been to. Since I visited for the first time I fell in love with this massive city and I definitely stayed here, and I don't know until when I'll go back, it is definitely a beautiful city, immense and with very nice people, its desfortunatelly of the bad experience but I would say now is a very safe city
Thanks for sharing! We agree, it’s such an incredible unique city and everyone has been so kind and welcoming
those beatifull colinias as Condesa,Roma , Polanko ≠ city !
Gringos like you are very welcome in CDMX, come back anytime my friends 🇺🇸🇲🇽
Not to say CDMX is the safest city in Mexico, but overall crimes have significantly dropped since 2019 - 60% less now. 2017-2019 were some really dark times for the city in terms of rising crime, so it is a great relief knowing they have declined and the city is safer now.
Mexico, City has always been dangerous and always be. Everyone should be cautios to know the surrondies. I'm Mexican by birth.
Totally agree 👍🏼
Nothing gets me hungrier than Mexican street food videos 😋
Thanks for showing us around Mexico City in this, should we say, very well timed vlog.
Always love watching Lisa’s excitement for new places and great food!! Keep em coming
☺️☺️ thanks for coming along!!
Mexico, a country full of culture and traditions, I loved your video and I hope to return to that beautiful country soon, best regards from Australia.
I'm so sorry about your horrible earlier experience. When I was a teen, and traveled with my parents to Mexico for the first time, they emphasized not dressing like a tourist. No tennis shoes, no sweatshirts, one pair of jeans, maybe one t-shirt. It has worked so far. I've traveled many places alone and haven't had any problems.
Too bad you didn't enter la Casa de Azulejos, the National Palace on the Zocalo, the Basilica, or Ideal Bakery. Next time.
Chapultepec has a long history. It was originally the Aztec emperor's summer home, later Ferdinand and Carlota built the castle. It was invaded by the U.S. (memorialized in the Battle Hymn of the Republic). The large monument with the tall columns at the base is in honor of the boy heroes, military cadets, who defended the castle against the U.S.
Thanks for not giving up after one bad apple among 20 million amazing peeps! The video was amazing and makes us all want to go visit such a magical place!!! Viva Mexico : )
I have been to CDMX three times in the last year and CANNOT WAIT to go back! I love Mexico City...! I love Roma Norte and the Historic District. I hire a driver (Esteban Barrera) when I go. He is AMAZING! He is not only a driver, but will be your translator and will recommend different restaurants / sites / schedules / museums. If you travel one city over to Puebla, he is from Puebla and can show you all the best of everything! I cannot wait to get back there again. I literally feel at peace in CDMX (and specifically at the Basilica of Guadalupe). I could sit there for hours (and literally have sat there for hours) soaking up the ambiance of the place and of course - the tilma!
You can hire me too 😂😂
What a terrific video! CDMX is fantastic; I’ve been there three times and could go three more. It’s just a feast for the senses and one of the great cities of the world.
Yay, you are traveling again AND the parents came! Great video. Loved it all. Everything looked beautiful and fun!! Saw sites that I will never see in person. Thank you.
Such an incredible place :) thanks for coming along!
That was FUN, guys! I always love the food commentary (makes my mouth water) and I especially enjoyed your music soundtrack to the video! Loved it....🙂
Thanks for watching!! The food was incredible and we loved all the live music that was playing everywhere we went too! True inspiration :)
Really sorry to hear about your traumatic experience in the past. My family was robbed at gunpoint while driving through Mexico about 33 years ago. Trauma will always remain with you. I’ve since traveled back to Mexico (Tijuana, Mexico City and Sinaloa) several times without issue. And I’ve had some of the best times I’ve ever had there. I love Mexico! 🇲🇽
So glad to see Lisa and Josh and mummy back , i have never been to Mexico and ya vid absolute made it a wonderful country to visit
🇲🇽🥰 such an incredible city!
The world's most fascinating city! I visited last May (2023) for 9 days and I was in awe! By the way, 9 days wasn't enough to see and do everything! I need to go back. It's a massive city! Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
I live in NYC by the way so when I say it's CDMX is the world's greatest city, it really means it's far better than NYC lol. NYC is a dump these days
Another great video. Looking forward to this series of $100/ day style travel. Need to finally plan a trip to CDMX as it's a cheap direct flight so putting that on our list this year. Thanks for the excellent content as always. Safe travels!
That’s awesome to hear! :) we loved it and can’t wait to go back again someday
The Palace of the Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes) is also an Opera House and Concert Hall. The murals area is just where people hang out in between performances.
I really enjoyed this.
I am flying solo to Mexico City in 2 weeks. What I learned is traveling as a solo female travel is going to be very different than a group of 4. But, in a city of 21 million, I will fit in. I did NYC as a solo and got pickpocketed in Times Square. I was in London last summer and learned to visit the ATM at 8-9 am, later means I became a target of panhandlers. So that was a good reminder, sorry you got mugged.
I'm a woman from London and I travelled to Mexico City solo in April. Absolutely LOVED it. My hotel was in Roma Norte, very close to where they stayed in this video, but I visited all over the city and I felt very safe. I want to go back! So much more to see and do. You will *love* Mexico City. Have a great time!
@@Deenie76 thank you!! I have been nervous. I wasn’t sure where to stay, but I will look more into the same area😊
Aunque sea seguro procura tener tus propias seguridades dónde hay multitudes, como cartera adelante y mochila al frente, no toda la gente es buena y honesta. Es mejor exagerar que lamentar te lo digo cómo citadino de CDMX que jamás en la vida me han robado en esta ciudad o asaltado en la calle. Siempre voltear hacia atrás y mirar a los ojos a las personas, los ladrones se ponen nerviosos cuando ya los viste y esto evita que te asalten
Where are you going to stay? I'm looking for a great inexpensive place to stay.
Thank you for coming, hope you had a beautiful time, come back some day!
We definitely will! Thank you!!
Awesome video guys .I'm glad you all enjoyed your time in our city..God bless you. And hurry back..we miss you already ❤️🙏
CDMX is my favorite city in the world.
I spent months and months and months there between 2005 and 2019. I walked around drunk and alone at night in tourist areas, and non- tourist areas. I flagged down random taxis in the middle of the night. I never had a problem. But I'm big and ugly and lived in many big cities, and I grew up in the hood and knew how to carry myself so I don't look like a target. I'm sorry that happened to you. They were probably watching the atm and followed you from there. If folks stick to the busy areas, travel in couples or groups not too late at night, and dress and act like locals who know what they're doing and what they're going it's very unusual to have trouble. Cops are never your friends there or in the US. Try to seem not to see or notice them. And as you said. Try to carry only what can be stolen, and no expensive clothes, and no jewelry.
Street Tacos usually have double tortillas that are pretty fresh and warmed in the meat juices on the skillet at street vendors. They definitely eat WAY better
Lots of fun to visit virtually with y'all. Thank you
Thanks for the comments! CDMX is an incredible place
thank you for showing how beautiful Mexico City is to the world!
I'm heading to Mexico early next year hopefully - thanks for giving me some ideas!
Have a great time!
Mexico looks so nice 😊
It is!
We love visiting Mexico!!! :)
Favorite city in the world!
Love watching your budget series. It's a marathon for me. Thanks!
When talking about the torta, you were somewhat right in thinking it would be chicken. A ‘milanesa’ is basically a breaded piece of meat, either chicken or steak. And, I have to say, great choice in going for the milanesa torta (those are the best!!).
Thanks for the info!! I’m dreaming of those tortas still! It’s so good, full of so many delicious things
Thanks from Toronto Canada
Very nice and thank you for addressing my fear of visiting Mexico City🤩
If you’re from the USA you shouldn’t be afraid is the same thing.
@@alalesc3796 Good point ... 😁
Moving there soon, I can’t wait for my family to show me around!
great vlog! you helped to change my mind about a couple of things I'll be exploring during my stay this coming April!!!
Great stuff, guys!
WOW! no grass growin' under your feet! Love to see you two on the move again....seems like you JUST finished the Camino and now you're hoofin around MC!! BUENO!!!!
my family is from CDMX but I was born in Ohio IM LUCKY TO SAY I’ve been to Mexico City 5 times I loveeee it there I’m planning on going in next winter!!! So I’ve been watching lots of Mexico City videos cause I miss the city so much, I enjoyed this video sm thank uuu for ur amazing review on the city!!!
Great video! Probably one of the most enjoyable blogs I’ve seen in CDMX.
Vlog
Perfection. I went to Guadalajara in March and I think I am ready to visit CDMX.
Awesome! We can’t wait to visit Guadalajara as well!
Daily Oxxo trips are a must when in any part of Mexico!
I ❤ how you give the amount your spending in each place, very informative. Thank you.
I love this video and happy you guys were having an amazing time and lucky you all ❤
Thanks for sharing. I'm going next week and I'm very excited.
Awesome, have a great time!
Thanks for the video. I leave for Mexico city in two days and have planned nothing yet, but mostly intend to wander around for 8 days, see things and eat things.
This will be my next trip for sure
I love my city. Hope to go later this year. Took my 10 year old daughter last year and she wants to move there. Lol. Glad you enjoyed it. And yes you always heat up tortillas on a comal. If you don't have one, put in a small damped towel and microwave.
Your city is incredible! Great tips, thank you!!
Fun! Thank you for this!!
Everything works in the buildings you go and u'll see everything clean and the food is amazing.
What a PERFECT 3 days!!!!
We had a great time!! :)
México is incredibel 👍👍👍
AWESOME video!!! thanks so much! We love Mexico City!!! Too bad you didn’t make it to Coyoacán!!! So sorry you had a bad experience; scary and hard to shake off but Mexico is such an amazing place. Have you been to Oaxaca? You two would LOVE it!!! Really like your channel and am so glad you are back from the Camino. Loved your series on your walk. SO look forward to seeing more of your journeys. Go to OAXACA!!!!
We haven’t yet, but heard such great things! We look forward to going back and exploring Mexico further!! :)
As a Mexican that's not from the state of Oaxaca (I'm from Tabasco), I cannot recommend visiting Oaxaca enough.
It's the food, the people, the scenery, the culture, all squared.
I'd say it's like Mexico (the country) but squared.
U guys are so adorable, glad u had a good visit !
Thanks for the video guys. You come across really likeable and friendly. Great job.
Muy buen video, definitivamente on a budget pero toda la experiencia que se necesita de CDMX
love your videos so much :)
My husband is Mexican and I am Puertoriccan, we have not yet visited each others countries, so this year it’s one of our bulletpoints on our to do list. His dad died when he was baby and he is buried in a cemetery in CDM. It’s one of his dreams to go ( he hasn’t been since he was 5) and be on the only presence of his father since he had memory. This is definitely a list of places to go following this once we have the opportunity. Thank you so much, I love your videos. It makes it easy for folk like us that don’t have a lot of money to see what we can expect when we are able to afford a nice getaway. ❤
wow, thank you for telling us! what an incredible trip this will be. we love being able to walk around a place and imagine what it's like through our loved ones, especially those no longer with us. we hope you have a wonderful, filling trip and feel the connection to the city ❤️
Great video! I’m heading back for the week of Dia de los Muertos! I’m looking forward to going during this time of year to get a full vantage point of this beautiful tradition.
We already miss ALL the tacos!!! 😋
Us too!!!! 🌮
I would say you didn’t even scratch half of the surface 🤭🤭🤭 every state in Mexico has different foods and traditions it’s like going to a different country but still in Mexico 😊😊
couldn't agree more! can't wait to come back and explore further :]
@@LisaAndJosh please do as a refugee I can’t go back to my beautiful country MEXICO yet. But probably in the next 3 years that’s going to be possible and I can not wait 🥰🥰🥰
The absolute best thing in Mexico City is the National Museum of Anthropology/Museo Nacional de Antropología. Visiting it was the highlight of my visit to Mexico City.
Also, I like you and Lisa's chemistry and personalities
Mexico was a totally different country 10 years ago buddy, we were immersed in so much violence, people are way happier now and we have more opportunities for development and growth 😊, well, I am sure I don't need to explain how different is the country now, you've seen it.
Gracias por visitar México.
This is perfect! We’re headed there in November
Have a great time!!
Lovely content!
What fun!!!!! .
Mexico Love's you guys 🇲🇽✌️✊🏻 The lights will be left on for the next safe return.
thank you, we can't wait to get back :)
Fun video, I have visited Mexico City many times
It is always fun.
Hola hola Gracias por visitar Mexico 🇲🇽 saludosssssssss Familia un Abrazoteeeeeeeeeeeeeee ♥️🇲🇽♥️🇲🇽
❤️❤️❤️🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Love the video and your channel! I’d be curious to hear your experience walking around and vlogging with what I assume is an expensive camera. My husband and I just quit our jobs to run our travel blog full time and want to focus on growing our CZcams channel- but worry about carrying around and using thousands of dollars of gear (given your previous experience in Mexico City!).
Probably the city my wife and i have visited the most, never have had a problem, but yes it is not the safest city in the world, like any other city just go safe mode, one thing for sure AMAZING CITY TO VISIT!!!
17:05 looks so good
I used to live in Tultitlan, lovely town. I want to go back so BAD!!!!!
I miss my mexico😢
For a family that loves to travel but we have to nickel and dime that luxury please keep this type of videos up! I love love love the details of every cent being documented.
Si duda eres rico en tu país y aquí lo serás aún más ,comida barata y buena ,la mejor comida es callejera y en restaurantes de ricos ,está hay maso menos su sazón pero el mejor zazon está en restaurantes más humildes y puestos callejeros
Great video!!
I'm new subscriber, this is a great video showing the places you visited in the capital of México. I was thinking about your safety concerns before coming back to our country México. I wish the best for all you, enjoy the city !!!
we had a wonderful time--Mexico City is incredible :) thanks for subscribing!
I'm watching the video and texting my amiga iin Mex City on Whatsapp. Glad you showed us about the cafe at Sears.
Here in Texas thinking about going out to eat after this video and I wish I had a helicopter to go right now to Mexico City and eat/drink everything they throw at me 😂
oh man, we dream about the food!!
Going to the Oxo or Circle K in the evening to get snacks or water is a great tip.
Let's Go!! It's travel Thursday in Southeast Asia. 😄
wow you guys have a really great editor
Muy bonito el vídeo 👍
Viva la lucha libre 🇲🇽 👍🏻 glad you guys had fun .. up next Tijuana street tacos and more lucha libre!!
WHT WE USE STILL IS THE BIKE.bikes are still used here in Chihuahua...City of Menonites...Come visit Creel,Vhihuahua its a PUEBLO MAJICO

thank you! that's our hope and plan! :)
Wow😂 lucha libre!!!🎉❤
Too much fun 🤩
Nice!
Nadie se da cuenta que México está recuperando lo suyo sin guerras
..jaja❤😂❤❤
Visit one of the taco-stands and you'll taste an amazing rapid food,here.
The best monuments, those of Mexico
When in Mexico City, always leave large amounts of cash in your hotel's locked safe and every day only take with you into the city streets the amount you think you will need.
In case you ever get mugged or victim of any other crime, look for light poles with a Dot sign, they have Panic Buttons that put you in contact with the Central Monitoring Police and they have personal that speaks English, if you do this quickly they can rewind the Cameras to look at the event and fast forward while they follow the perps. With a very high capture rate.
So it is wise that as you walk you locate these posts in case you ever need them you know where the closest one is.
Mulțumesc!...Merçi!...Thanks!...😄😘
