The history of Mexico City is complex, but a free walking tour will help you understand things a little better in a simplified version of history, while also learning a number of anecdotes about the places you are seeing. In this case, I’d highly recommend joining a free downtown walking tour so you can explore the incredible Centro Historico. One of my favorite ways to start a trip to any new city, especially one as historically and architecturally beautiful as the historic center of Mexico City, is with one of those free walking tours lead by a local. To get you started here are my top recommendations for what to do in Mexico City (but there are plenty more attractions!), and don’t forget to check out my article on the best Mexico City tours for some cool excursions that are both fun and informative. Seriously, visit Mexico City and prepare to be blown away. And for those of us in the United States, it is so much closer and so much more affordable (thanks to a favorable exchange with the Mexican Peso).

From there I was able to finalize and launch of my book about how to travel the world on a budget and after launching we were able to set out and explore this amazing city quite in-depth.

But I would have been wrong - I’m so glad that we went to Mexico City, it was one of the best surprises of the entire trip and a place that both Andrea and I were blown away by. I wasn’t sure that fighting the endless traffic jams while driving in Mexico City and hordes of people would be “worth it”. The population of Greater Mexico City is more than 22 million people, making it the largest metropolitan area in the Western Hemisphere and the largest city in the Spanish speaking world (definitely one of those interesting Mexico City facts that not many realize).
