Mexico City, Federal District, Mexico

Went to Mexico City during the Labor Day Weekend September 2015, I was not sure what to expect, looking at the historic architecture from my Airport Cab ride to the hotel, was amazed, the city is beautiful. Overall had a Great time and loved it, walking the streets, listing to Street Band, eating street food, Visiting cultural center, and a chance to see the Pyramids at Teotihuacan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sure was glad to have made this trip.

Airport: Immigration and customs was quick and easy, and I was on my way out in 5 minutes, what a difference between Mexico immigration at Cancun during my earlier trip.

There are prepaid Taxi booths by Airport Gate 10, I took a taxi and the cost was less then 10 US$.

Traffic: Traffic in Mexico City can be a challenge, so a rental car would be out of the question if you used to driving in the USA.

Hotel: I stayed near the Historic Center, 2 blocks from Zocalo, the Main Square in Mexico city and walking distance to many attractions the City has to offer. Check discount hotel prices at booking.com

Safety: I felt very Safe in Mexico City, I took Cabs in the middle of the night and did not have any issues.

The Pyramids are an hour outside the City, I took a bus from Terminal Central del Norte, the return ticket was about $5 US.

Pyramid of the Sun, I did Climbed to the top.

A walk along the Street, looking at the colorful Shops. I was there in September close to the Mexican independence day, you'll see streets shops selling Flags and other Mexico Gifts, thousands of people gather at Zocalo for the celebrations.

On a Sunday evening one can see several Street Bands, and they are actually very good.

Public display of affection is seen more often in Mexico city than in the USA
