● Zocalo Officially known as Plaza de la Constitución, El Zócalo es the main public square and one of the most recognizable places in Mexico City. It contains a giant Mexican flag at its center and has been the centerpiece of public gatherings since the days of the Aztecs. Pre-conquest.

● Xochimilco Chinampas or "Floating Gardens" Xochimilco(pronounced so-chee-MIL-ko) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site City... The canals of Xochimilcoare a vestige of the Aztec agricultural technique of using "chinampas" to extend arable land in wetland areas.

● Trajineras, one of the colorful boats that serve as the traditional means of transport on the canals that connect Xochimilco's chinampas. families travel to Xochimilco several times a year to picnic in colourful trajinera boats bearing the names of the owners' daughter.  taken a ride around the lake in a trajinera, where they will try Mexican food and listened to a real mariachi.

● Coyoacan home of Frida Kahlo-mania. The artist’s birthplace and final residence, now The Museo Casa Azul, is here on a quiet residential street between similar still-private homes built around the turn of the 20th century. The folk art-filled museum, open as such since 1957.

● Castillo de Chapultepec a visible reminder of Mexico’s bygone aristocracy, the ‘castle’ that stands atop Chapultepec Hill was begun in 1785 but not completed until after independence, when it became the national military academy. When Emperor Maximilian and Empress Carlota arrived in 1864, they refurbished it as their residence. The east end of the castle preserves their palace, with sumptuously furnished salons opening onto an exterior deck that affords sweeping city views.

● Antrophology Museum The museum is unique also in that the ground floor, dedicated to archaeological finds from ancient Mexico - each room dealing with a particular civilization or region of the country - allows you to wander outside into gardens and courtyards thus recreating an “in situ” experience with the artifacts. Outdoor reconstructions of the Mayan temples and Monte Alban Tomb. This is a huge museum with 23 exhibition rooms on two levels, covering 800,000+ square feet and sitting on almost 20 acres.

● Somaya Museum Named for the late wife of its millionaire owner Carlos Slim, the Museo Soumaya is the shimmering highlight in Mexico City’s vast art gallery collection. While it’s predominantly recognisable for its unique and striking architecture, the art collections housed in the jaw-dropping.

● Turibus, a double-decker Hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus service that makes a circuit from the historical center, down the Paseo de la Reforma to Chapultepec Park and into trendy neighborhoods such as Condesa, Roma, and Polanco. It's an easy way to get to important tourist attractions throughout this big city and offers a good vantage point for seeing the sights and getting a grip on the layout of the streets and neighborhood.

● Teotihuacan The city was a center of industry, home to many potters, jewelers, and craftsmen. Teotihuacan is known for producing a great number of obsidian artifacts. No ancient Teotihuacano non-ideographic texts are known to exist (or known to have existed). Inscriptions from Maya cities show that Teotihuacan nobility traveled to, and perhaps conquered around the turn of the 20th century. The folk art-filled museum, open as such since 1957.
