Overview

Visit the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant cities in the world: Mexico City.

A vast living museum that holds incredible secrets from the past. We’ll explain the city’s history, starting from when it was a lake, and tell you how a great empire was built upon this body of water until it became the city it is today.

We’ll show you the most important ceremonial temple of the Mexicas, the indigenous people who conquered the Valley of Mexico. We’ll pass by the Metropolitan Cathedral, built by the Spanish Crown for the evangelisation of the natives after the Conquest.

We’ll show you hidden gems such as the Gran Hotel de la Ciudad de México, traditional sweet shops, bakeries and old pharmacies, the Casa de los Azulejos, the Palacio Postal, the Palacio de Bellas Artes, the MUNAL and other treasures.

We’ll show you iconic spots, but also places we’ve discovered ourselves and would love to share with you.
