One of the best tips for acquainting yourself with Mexico's history is by visiting Teotihuacan, a Unesco World Heritage site, and about 30 miles distance from Mexico City. Come see the fabulous pre-Columbian pyramids, two towering creations-the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. Teotihuacan or 'the birthplace of the gods' should be considered a 'must' on any tourist's visit to Mexico City or the surrounding areas.

Zocalo or 'Plaza de la Constitucion,' is another 'must' for any tourist or sightseer in Mexico City. It serves as the city center, complete with a giant Mexican flag which is taken down every afternoon by Mexican soldiers also presenting tourists an excellent photo op. The buildings are well known for their lovely architecture and it's truly known as the best place to do shopping.

As a tourist in Mexico and especially in Mexico City, you'll most likely be approached by street vendors selling a variety of toys, candy, jewelry and other trinkets. The best tip for shopping in Mexico and Mexico City is to haggle, and never to accept the first price offered. Haggle at half of the price and try to get yourself a good deal (tourist prices are usually inflated, anyways.)

Come visit Mexico's national museum, at the National Museum of Anthropology. The museum is renowned for its collection of pre-Columbian Mexican art, such as the original Aztec Stone of the Sun calendar. There are significant amounts of Aztec and Mayan art and archeological artifacts. The museum is well known for its lovely, umbrella shaped fountain, designed in 1963. The museum is perfect for spending an hour or even half a day admiring art, cultural artifacts and architecture. We also have great deals for European destinations like cheap flights to Lyon

Another noteworthy site is the Mayor Temple, with Frommer's even saying that 'no other museum illustrates the variety and splendor of the Aztec Empire.' Walk around this indoor and outdoor archeological dig site and see the excavation process currently being undergone. The Pyramid of Huitzilopochtli is the famous attraction here, in addition to the museum housed on this site, featuring a variety of Aztec art, architecture and archeological findings.

You've shopped, explored history and culture-so what's left to do in Mexico City? Venture into the world of Mexican religion by paying a visit to the Metropolitan Cathedral, the most ancient cathedral in all of Latin America. Before its construction in the 16th century, it was also the site of numerous Aztec religious ceremonies, solidifying its religious significance in Mexico's history. Mexico's national cathedral is built in a classic gothic, baroque and neoclassical style, in the fashion of many European cathedrals. Admission is free, so come inside and check out the gorgeous cathedral organ, altar and cathedral chapels.

Tenochtitlán

Tenochtitlan is located in what is now the Federal District in Mexico, and was built on an island in Lake Texcoco. The capital of Mexico is built on top of the ruins of Tenochtitlan, but many ancient structures from the original city still exist. The city of Tenochtitlan was founded in 1325, and according to Aztec legend, this region was chosen on the basis of an ancient prophecy which stated that the Aztec capital would be built where the people saw an eagle eating a snake, while sitting on a cactus. At its height, the city of Tenochtitlan was home to almost 250,000 people, and covered around thirteen square kilometers. The city was divided into four zones, each with twenty districts, with public buildings such as temples and schools located in the center of the city. The palace of Montezuma, the fifth emperor of the Aztec Empire, was also located in the central area of Tenochtitlan, and contained zoos, botanical gardens, and aquariums of both salt and fresh water.
