As you walk down the Madero Avenue, you will definitely notice this prominent colonial-era church…read more Formerly the Jesuit HQ in Mexico, "La Professa" actually plays an important role in few parts of Mexican history! Dedicated to San Felipe Neri (St. Philip Neri), this Jesuit HQ was also commonly known as "La Professa", or "The House of the Professed" in English. Although it lost prominence after the temporary expulsion of the Jesuits, the church still played few significant roles in Mexican history, including the deliberation to beatify a Mexican favorite, Juan Diego the native who found Our Lady of Guadalupe. However, even without considering the historical significance, "La Professa" is still a beautiful example of Spanish Baroque architecture to admire! Despite the seemingly huge scale that is appears on the outside, the church interior is packed with not only lively holy sculptures but also wonderful art pieces. As you walk down the Madero Avenue, take a quick moment to step inside! Even if the outside is packed with heavy crowd, the church provides a serene refuge from the chaos. Why not take a rest in an artful environment anyway? --- tl;dr version: 1) Formerly Jesuit HQ that played few roles in Mexican history 2) Beautiful Baroque church with many artworks 3) Take a step inside as you stroll through the Madero Avenue

This is probably one of the best kept secrets about Mexico City, where you would never know you…read morewere if you visited here. When I think of Mexico City, I think of an overcrowded and overpolluted city of 22 million people where is can take more than an hour to drive one mile. This particular place provides a great escape from the madness. If you go all the way to the top, there's an ex-convent ($17 MXN admission) and great biking and running trails that go for miles. There's a charge of $20 MXN (about $1 USD) if keep going up beyond the roughly 3/4 mark, or you can park before that and just walk around. I do not recommend this park for road biking off the trails. The curves are very blind and dangerous, people still drive like maniacs even though they're in a park and therefore, you're just an accident waiting to happen. Stick to the trails and you'll be all right. The extent of the wildlife we observed were two oversided black squirrels, which may not have been squirrels after all.

Mexico has come a long way in the disability infrastructure. I'm so proud to see these giant steps…read morehave finally been overcome with elevators & preferential entrance/access. At this station make sure your senior/handicap enters on the left side, so assure a seat. You can accompany them on that side too. The -2 stars is because there is zero discount for seniors/handicap. Which I think is extremely unfair since metro & metrobus give them free unlimited access. Also the need for a 2nd type of prepaid card is a hassle especially bc I've only used it twice in my life & never carry it. So I have to purchase another if I forget it or don't plan ahead. Let alone if you're a tourist in a group, every person needs one bc its non shareable unlike meteo/metrobus!!!

I came here and somehow managed to run into a children's kickboxing league. I was looking for an…read moreATM (near the back of the building, past all the shops) and came across a permanent looking ring, where a 6 year old boy was wailing on a 8 year old girl. The kids were covered in padding, so it's not like they were in any real danger. The shops are nice- good for travelers, and people who are commuting on the trains. Sleek marble surfaces and chrome are the decor here, so it looks nice. It feels safe here. There's plenty of things going on around here- a bus station and a big library are next door. The station has a bunch of subway lines that come/go from here. They have a little model train that is supposed to go around on a track past miniature rural scenes. However that wasn't working, and a full scale model train that wasn't working either. Out in front of the station, tacos and other street foods are sold for ridiculously cheap prices. On the side of the station is the Plaza of the Americas- a nice open place to hang.

This area used to be a very active and bustling place. Ever since I can remember, there were tons…read moreof people here, day and night. I think part of the reason why it's slowed down is due to the fact that the adjacent metro station itself is closed for construction. That construction has been going on for over two years already. There are some local stores that surround the circle but nothing terribly interesting. I think the most popular spot in the circle is the Little Caesars pizza place. It's one of two pizza restaurants in the area. There are no other restaurants in the circle. The area isn't completely dead, and there are still people hanging out. But either way it goes, this glorietta could for sure use a face lift.

Very good tour and historical landmark…read more The walking tour throughout the foundation is very interesting, artistic, and informational. Do purchase the elevator tour and rest topside and view the city and enjoy sitting & sipping a coffee or tea. We had passed the monument in past and never toured. Very pleased we toured and will always recommend.

I've spent so much time here over the years, and my office is right across the street! I also live…read morefairly closeby six months out of the year, so you could say that this is my neighborhood. The first time that I was really introduced to this place was when Brittany Spears had a co cert here many years ago. They have wonderful shows and events here all year round. What my girlfriend and I enjoy most are the almost nightly dance get togethers in one of the side pod sections. It's just great and a lot of fun for a foreigner who didn't grow up in Mexico. Today's event was a commemoration and the military band honoring a high ranking leader. Starting tomorrow I will return to the office here, because after my first ten days back here, vacation time is over. Kinda sorta!
