To see Mexico City with friends who live there is to be part of it not just a spectator. Like ANY huge city you can find the good and the bad.

Must Go!

Of all the places in Mexico City, the Zocolo most reflects its complex mixture of culture and history. Simply stand in the middle and turn in a circle and you will see the elements of Mexico City from its ancient history to present. Also, the Zocolo attracts an interesting mix of people. So, if you are a people watcher, this is your spot!

Zócalo
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/23/05
This was my first view of the city, directly from the metro. It was breathtaking. There was the Catedral in its glory and a ton of people. I could hear the noise of the vendors and smell the food. A parade of army men marched right in the National palace next to me, complete with automatic rifles. The square, second largest in the world, showcased ...
