Mexico City is built on the site of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan. The Zócalo, one of the largest city squares in the world, is flanked by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace.

The National Museum of Anthropology and Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul are highlights, and the pyramids of Teotihuacan are about an hour away. Remember that the city sits at about 2,240 metres, so take it easy on your first day.
