    Tremendous Capital City!. Visitors quickly realize the rich and complex history, traditions, art, architecture, and eclectic and delicious gastronomy. Mexico City is just fascinating, too much to explore and discover
    Mexico has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO in the Americas.
    Nice vid!

      I would definitely stay in an airbnb so you can get a bigger space with multiple bedrooms for a better price. pick which neighborhood matches your vibe best and look for an airbnb in that area: Polanco is the boujee area with designer shops and hotels, Roma Norte (my favorite) has all the best food and boutiques in walking distance , Condesa is more quiet, romantic, and in the middle of everything, Centro is where all the attractions like museums, ruins, historical sites. For a family, i would definitely recommend staying in La Condesa or Roma Norte.

    How were the lines/waits for hanky panky and handshake? Did you go during prime weekend hours?

      @@jimoakes1965 since I didnt have a reservation, i actually didn’t get to go into the main handshake bar but they led me to an extended version downstairs that served the same menu and same great service. It was about 10 min wait. Hanky panky again i didnt have a reservation so instead of sitting at a table i was at the bar and that no wait. I went to both of them a sunday night after 8pm!

      The inside not so much unless you are a big Frida or art fan. but the neighborhood its in is STUNNING so i would definitely go to the area Coyoacan but if you’re on a budget or short on time you can skip the actual museum. I did not know much about frida but I did love learning about her life.

    ⁠thanks for your insight!! regarding coyocan, i know you mentioned plaza de santa catarina but are there any other specific parts of the area we should check out?

      It was a bike tour i booked thru airbnb experience so i had a guide who gave everyone bicycles and we followed him around! Across that plaza was a cute little cove where a restaurant named aurelia was and thats where i saw the coyote statues, the frida kahlo museum, mercado n 89, jardin centenario, parque allende,plaza hidalgo, plaza de la conchita.. these are the exact names of the stops we made!!

    • @edenswilliams
      @edenswilliams  5 місяців тому +1

      Casa Wynwood Roma Norte, NaNa Vida CDMX, Circulo Mexicano, Zocalo Central & rooftop Mexico City, Historico Central Hotel are all hotels that I have seen on Booking.com and saved as my favorites that all look really nice. I think you can find more affordable airbnbs tho in my opinion.

      If you wanted to walk through them then you would need tickets, but it was free to observe from the outside.

      Absolutely need a reservation at Contramar! The first day i got to mexico city, i walked by to try to get in and they were all full but had something available in a couple days when they first open. So they wrote my name down and i was able to go my last day of my trip at 11am lol. I heard They have a sister restaurant nearby that’s easier to get into tho

      I used Uber everywhere, besides the tours i booked where transportation was included like i rode the metro in one tour, rode bikes in another, or walked with the guide.

      Yes i was solo! I made friends on my tour i went on thru airbnb experience but i didnt know anyone there! I recommend stayed in Roma Norte or condesa youre solo! Felt the safest in those neighborhoods, but i still avoided walking alone at night. Ubers were so cheap so i just ubered at night!
