Read MoreMexico City! I LOVE Mexico City. I was there uncountable times, have seen, experienced and lived through so much in this city. I have my laundry place, my favourite café and my places where I feel home in Mexico City so…. In short: Mexico City is my mexican home. I mean Mexico City just simply has everything a big city needs to have. And of that definitely more than enough. At the same time Mexico City can also be too much. It’s loud, chaotic, full, there is so much to do and see and experience that it’s almost overwhelming and you – everywhere you go – need like half an hour to get there and the traffic is just…I mean today it kinda makes me grin and almost laugh, when I think about it, but it’s a real nightmare. Especially during rushhour. And that is absolutely no joke. And exactly for this reason Mexico City has the fame of that you either love or hate it there. I personally hat a hate-love relationship going on with Mexico City for quite a while, until I realised that I see Mexico City as my mexican home. I just feel comfortable in the city, good and I like all it’s edges and mistakes and everyrhing that is too much as well as averything that is perfect just the way it is. It is such a huge, incredibly proud city with beautiful as well as not so beautiful corners, that has insanely much to offer and where you’ll never get bored. For some for sure too much, but I personally do think you at least have to try and take along the main sights 😀 🙂

The Zócalo and the cathedral of Mexico City lie right in the heart of the city and are a Must-have-Seen. Proud, beautiful and simply worth a visit.
The market in the centre of Mexico City is a caotic, loud, unstructured and very mexican market - and absolutely fantastic. Mexican flair at it's purest! 😀
A beautiful building in the middle of the heart of the centre of Mexico City. On the inside there is something like a museum/art gallery and right next to the building is a park where you can chill a little.
The Shopping mile of Mexico City. There is nothing traditional or typical mexican here though. Rather a capital and big city flair with international brands as H&M, Pull&Bear and American Eagle.
Viewpoints that overlook the entire city do not exist in Mexico City. This one is though pretty good by overlooking the centre and the surrounding area. 😉
The proudest, most beautiful, cleanest and definitely also the safest street in Mexico City - and no Mexico City is not dangerous. Reforma simply and easily is a flagship 😉
Museum of Light. Doesn't sound like much, but was one of the most interactive museum I've ever been to. Plus I had a looot of fun in here 🙂
A very intense museum, that displays important parts of humane history and our crimes. Same as important morales and societal values. Definitely something to recommend, but still not a museum to visit just like that.
The probably most famous museum of Mexico City. Why? It's really huge! Plus it includes really everything you could imagine and/or want to know about anthropolgy. Every epoch, every... really everything. And that in a lot of details. A really fantastic museum.
The museum of the shoe. From the outside I thought it was a shoe shop. Turns out it's one of the coolest and weirdest museum in Mexico City 😀
There definitely are sufficient pyramids to discover in México. Close to a big city like México City I wouldn't have expected much. Teotihuacán is though definitely worth it 🙂
A daytrip to the mountains around México City. As long as you don't underestimate the hike back and forth you can expect a wonderful daytrip through nature with a great view.
The only structured and even numbered market in México. Admittedly expensive, but they do have quiet a lot of stuff...Really incredible! The best of mexican handicraft art.
A little further from the centre but with multiple beautiful churches and a little irritating surprise on top 🙂
Chapultepec is not just a park, but basically a neighbourhood on it's own. The park is so big, that it has a lake, a castle, a bontical garden and much more. Definitely not to be missed. 🙂
The castle of Chapultepec is nice and has a view on Chapultepec and the city behind, that is really not bad 🙂 And really cute squirrels! 😀
The botanical garden of Chapultepec turns up with a surprise: a really cool and super creative plasticgarden. I personaly did like the plasticgarden even more than the botanical one 😀
Coyoacán is a cute, very pretty, calm and yet lively neighbourhood pretty far out of the centre. You basically enter a different world 🙂 And yes the journey is worth it 😀
Xochimilco is a neighbourhood of Mexico City, but in reality rather a day trip. Because here you go search for a person, that then carries you on a boat made of wood through the canals of Xochimilco's nature.
Uuuuh my absolutely favourite café! Here you can get coffe, cake, breakfast, something to eat and books. It's also a famous spot for remote workers 🙂 😉
Do you already know the land of the multilevel cakes? It's called Pastelería Ideal and is located in Mexico City. Really impressive. And between us downstairs there's on top something to eat for everyone. 🙂
I love! seconhand libraries. I love books in general, but that smell! And the fact, that books are given to further people being read and loved by them... It's obviously rather something for bookworms like me, but... I really did love it 😀
The most mexican market I've been to in México. Huge, completely unstructured and overly full of absolutely everything. Would I not have been with someone, I'm not sure if I would've found the exit. So challenge accepted? 😀
The witchmarket of Mexico City 😀 And yes as well jokingly as well as quite seriously. Cause you really can get there everything from herbs to offers of psychics, the vibe and this certain smell... it's fucking real 😀
The best tradition ever! Sundays sports loving mexicans, or people who want to learn something new, meet during morning/midday on Reforma and do sports together. And yes I of course was there too! 😀
In every big city there is a rich, chique and posh neighbourhood. In Mexico City that is Polanco. It's the cleanest neighbourhood with the most people in suits and definitely the most skyscrapers. Not exactly my vibe, but definitely worth a visit 🙂
My personally favourite neighbourhood. Clean, green, and with a cosmopolitan vibe and super relaxed and vivid. Also definitely one of the most international neighbourhoods.
Basically Mini-Europe in Mexico City. There are not just copies of the fountain of Cibeles in Madrid, but also a Museo de Jamón. Apart from that it's green, relaxed and... like there really kind of is a European flair here 😀
Coyoacán is the cutest, prettiest, calmest and yet liveliest neighbourhood pretty far out of the centre. You basically enter a different world 🙂 And yes it's worth the journey 😀
Xochimilco is a neighbourhood of Mexico City, but in reality rather a day trip. Because here you go search for a person, that then carries you on a boat made of wood through the canals of Xochimilco's nature.
Uuuuh my absolutely favourite café! Here you can get coffe, cake, breakfast, something to eat and books. It's also a famous spot for remote workers 🙂 😉
Before I start: I am not talking about bakeries according to german standards. And now: very yum, very worth it and mostly with damn yum and good things. And yes every single one of them 🙂
In Mexico City there are plenty of places you can have a yum dish in. I here have basically noted the ones that had a long lasting positive impression on me and that I can definitely recommend to you 🙂
