Hello,

Just joined Reddit and wanted to post in here.

I was at the Mexico vs England match and took this picture. The dark sky with the fireworks smoke residue in the background looks awesome.

I can’t stop thinking about my time in Mexico City. England fans were warned about potential trouble and I saw 0 incidents. On the walk there I was taking photos with people and dancing with little children in the streets! Despite being covered in beer during the match after Mexico goals (I hope it was beer) after the match, everyone was partying and enjoying life.

Viva Mexico 🇲🇽

Saw this sign on an Uber ride to El Zocalo yesterday. The typo was a cute treat for my first visit to the city. 🫡

I’m going to be in town on a Saturday, when they only have the Lucha Libre show at Arena Coliseo. I understand the show at Arena Mexico is the main one.

We could possibly change our plans around to go to Arena Mexico if the difference is significant.

Will I be missing out on much if I go to the smaller show? If it helps, the friend I’m traveling with is an actual wrestling fan.

Thanks.

Hi all, I’ll be visiting next week and didn’t realize it’s peak rainy season beforehand. I’ve tried to search through the group to get an indication of how bad it might be, but I’m still left wondering - what footwear to bring.

If it rains, is it enough to drench my running shoes? Does it flood easily? Should I just be wearing heavier boots to avoid wet socks? Additionally, is an umbrella enough or a raincoat as well?

On a side note, what museums are an almost must to see for a first visit? I’m overwhelmed by all the amazing options.

¿Alguien sabe dónde comprar tequila Abuelos/Fortaleza en CDMX? Busco una tienda física con buen surtido. Les agradeceré mucho recomendaciones de lugares confiables o donde lo hayan visto recientemente.

Tengo un amigo que emigro, y extraña de sobremanera la ciudad de Mexico.

Pronto lo visitare y quiero llevarle un regalo.
Alguien puede recomendar algun artista local o tienda donde vendan algo que sientan que representa de buena manera a la ciudad?

No quiero llevarle los souvenirs tradicionales (mascaras de lucha libre, sombreros, alebrijes, etc...) se que son super representativos del pais pero primero queria ver si a alguien se le ocurre algo mas representativo (o tipo street art).

Hola, este fin de semana viajo desde Guadalajara por trabajo y tendré el viernes y el sábado libre. Qué me recomiendan visitar? Ya conozco lo más típico como Chapultepec, bellas artes, museo de antropología, templo mayor, pirámides, étc. La última vez ví que fui ví que cerca del centro hay pequeñas agencias que ofrecen tours de un día a lugares cercanos, son confiables? O qué más me recomiendan visitar? Gracias 🙂

My husband and I are going to CDMX for the first time next week and would appreciate a look over at our itinerary. There is only 1 hour time zone difference from where we are from, so no need to worry about jet lag. We are also “constantly on the move” vacationers and not “relaxing” type vacationers, if that also helps.

Thursday:
- land 4pm and check into our hotel in Condesa
- dinner at Ling Ling
- drinks at Tlecan

Friday:
- breakfast at chilpa
- matcha at rumor
- museum of anthropology
- Chapultepec castle
- lunch at Contramar
- explore: zocalo, metropolitan catedral, palacia de bellas artes, templo mayor, torre latinoamericana
- dinner at Taqueria Orinocos
- drinks at Hanky Panky
- lucha libre
- drinks at salon palomilla

Saturday
- sunrise hot air balloons
- lunch in the cave
- explore pyramids
- go back to CDMX and explore where??
- eat at La casa de tono
- drinks at handshake speakeasy

Sunday
- breakfast at panaderia rosetta
- matcha at san
- mass at our lady of Guadalupe plus explore here
- lunch at tacos de valle
- fly out 3pm

Any changes, adjustments, or suggestions you think we can make to our itinerary? Thank you!!!

EDIT: Wow thanks everyone! I forgot to mention that I overpacked the itinerary on purpose to give myself itinerary options, not to actually hit every place haha but I already knew Reddit is not for the faint of heart 😂😂

hola!

I am visiting CDMX from australia with my mum for her birthday.

she has expressed really wanting to see some live music whilst we are here and I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

We love punk, alternative, post punk, folk, rock, garage, new wave, even some jazz could be great to see. + lots more! I think she and I would love to check out some traditional music or / modern spins on trad genres. it would be awesome to experience something we cant get back home.

As mother/daughter we love to listen radical women who rock, haha. if anyone knows any local artists playing tonight! (22nd) or a cool music venue or bar I can take her to I would be very grateful!

Gracias!! xxxx

Alguien sabe cómo está el pedo de los tours para observar murciélagos en el Centro Cultural Ambiental Ecoguardas? La información que encuentro al respecto en internet es contradictoria, por ejemplo este artículo de [acá ](https://www.chilango.com/que-hacer/parques/recorrido-nocturno-conocer-murcielagos-cdmx-fecha-lugar-registro/) dice que sólo será el viernes 24 y que el registro previo era a través de un formulario de Google que ya está cerrado, pero en la página oficial de la [SEDEMA](https://www.sedema.cdmx.gob.mx/comunicacion/nota/sedema-invita-a-las-noches-de-murcielagos-en-cca-ecoguardas) dice que se hará todos los miércoles de junio y julio y el registro se puede hacer por teléfono. Yo soy de provincia y me hago como 3 horas de mi casa hasta la Ciudad, no quiero ir nomás a gastar tiempo y dinero a lo pendejo

Qué tan segura es Tacuba!? Qué zonas son a las que no hay que entrar?
Me interesa rentar ahí por trabajo. Pero desconozco cómo es esa parte de la ciudad.

Hi! It's my first time in CDMX. I'm traveling alone and I've been here for just over a week (staying at Roma Norte). I have 3 more days left and trying to figure out what to do. So far I have done these things:

- I enjoy just wandering through the city. I've been walking like 10-15km a day exploring different neighborhoods and grabbing food along the way: Centro, Roma Norte, Condesa, Coyocan, San Angel, Polanco. It's been super hot during the day, so have mainly stuck to areas with more shaded/green streets for walks. Would be nice to explore some less touristy neighborhoods, but not sure where to go.

- Visited: Biblioteca Vasconcelos, Anthropology museum, Chapultepec Castle, Diego Rivera house in San Angel, Frida Kahlo house, Soumaya Museum. Bunch of mercados, parks, etc around the city. Did not enjoy the crowded/touristy ones as much.

- Day trip to Tetihuacan.

- Tried to visit the UNAM library today, but all the gates to the campus were closed :/ seems like things are shut down for the summer vacation?

- Not sure if Xochimilco is worth a visit, especially since it's far and I'm traveling alone and not into tourist party/drink boats. Similarly, not interested in Lucha Libre.

What are your recs for the next few days? esp other neighborhoods to explore and less touristy things to do?

Hi All,

I’m planning a trip with a good friend in the Autumn. He had a major knee injury and is a little bit limited in what he can and can not do (no kneeling, and it’s hard for him to get on and off the floor).

He can walk around, but not for hours at a time. He also has problems with LOTS of stairs. He can do a flight or two maximum.

I don’t want to plan things that will exacerbate his injury but I’m desperate to go to Teotihuacán.

I also am very interested in the ancient water farming methods and had wanted to take a tour in Xochimilco but worry about his ability to get on and off a small boat.

I’d love any thoughts about what we can realistically do.

Thanks!

Good morning! I hope you're all doing well. I'm moving to Mexico City soon and I'm looking for a good place to learn and practice Spanish. Can anyone recommend a language school or center with good teachers and plenty of opportunities to practice speaking? Thanks in advance!

My Wife and I will be in CDMX this week and was looking to exchange currency. It’s been suggested to avoid going to any ATM at the airport but when I look at banks/atms near our stay in Roma Norte they too have not so favorable reviews.

I’m just curious based on your experiences which atm/bank would you recommend to exchange currency without any hassle or crazy fees?

Thanks in advance!

Quiero ir a ver la odisea en 35mm a la cineteca de Chapultepec, pero me da tremenda pereza andar leyendo subtítulos por tres horas, me pasó cuando fui a ver donnie Darko q no estaba doblada y no quiero repetir la experiencia.

Voy a un concierto el otro mes, en su bonita ciudad.

¿Es seguro caminar por la noche a algún hotel en las cercanías del Auditorio Nacional?

Asumo que habrá gente en los alrededores finalizando el concierto… pero agradecería referencias de quienes viven allí.

Hey where is the best and affordable place(s) to get jewelry specifically silver rings in the city? I'm trying to look up tianguis but am unsure about pricing. Our budget would be about $25-$60/70 per piece.

Saw the Tesla crushed by the big head statue yesterday behind the Colima 71 hotel. Anyone know what that’s about (I just love it)

Buenas, I am looking for a hotel to stay in when I visit CDMX for the first time in October. I will be travelling with my wife and 5 year old child. All of us are relatively light sleepers.

I have come across a few hotels that are either under new management or have problems with noise coming from the street or night clubs.

5 star hotels such as the InterContinental are a bit too pricey and out my price range. Ideally I would like to be around $200 USD.

Gracias!

Edited to add: we will be looking to visit the main touristy places, Chapultepec, Centro Historico, etc. We would be getting around by public transit.

Hey there. Heading down next month and found a nice hotel very close to the. Zocalo- but i keep reading that staying in Roma Norte etc is better - what are the pros and cons of staying in el centro historico? Thanks in advance!

Looking for suggestions for a date night at a steak house. Will be visiting and would like to spend one of the nights treating ourselves to a good steak dinner and cocktails . Willing to splurge for something nice and allow some level of tolerable noise .

Opinión sincera de la UAM-Azcapotzalco, estoy dudoso de inscribirme,quede seleccionado en mecanica pero no se que tal sea la universidad ando con la duda de volver a aplicar a la UNAM o irme de una a la UAM. Me quede a la 9 de la UNAM ya que subieron a 110 y tampoco se como sentirme al respecto ya que mi tiempo de estudio era para la UNAM para la UAM ni si quiera leí la guía ni nada y sorprendentemente quede
