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!

It stretches about 9 miles and has a variety of landmarks throughout: Ángel de la Independencia, Chapultepec Park, Diana the Huntress Fountain, and others. It's surrounded by various skyscrapers including but not limited to luxury hotels, office buildings, and banks. The street stretches along those modern aspects of the city as well as with the historic aspects of the Chapultepec Castle. We specifically went on a Sunday to see all the runners and bikers and it was so cool to see that this is just routine for them and just another day for a bike or a run. I wish more cities had car-free streets like this!

It was an awesome and unique experience to be able to cycle on such a typically busy street, and see how many people were out and about enjoying the wonderful spring weather. Halfway through our ride along the avenue, we stopped to listen to our guide, Símon, talk about the lost 43 students that vanished in 2014. It was a very sobering history about the dark relationship between the Mexican government and cartels, but I'm glad Simon shared it with us, and we were able to view the faces of the victims as we continued our bike ride. https://traveltimewitht.com/2026/03/21/la-ciudad-de-mexico/

On a Saturday evening, walking past this square, the monument/fountain caught my eye…read more As small offshoot of the Zocalo (the large plaza surrounded by the Palacio Nacional and the Metropolitan Cathedral), this is a smaller paved area directly opposite the Supreme Court building to the east and the Mexico City Government Building adjacent to the west. As its name suggests, it commemorates the founding of the city of Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec empire in 1325, which later became Mexico City. A fountain with a cluster of sculptures in the center--created in 1970 by artist Carlos Marquina--depicts the legend of Nahua* settlers migrating from the (possibly mythical) city of Aztlán. Upon sighting an eagle devouring a snake while perched on a nopal (cactus), they took it as a sign to settle and create the city. This same imagery adorns the Mexican flag today. When I was there in January 2026 the fountain was filled and the sculpture is easily visible from the street and sidewalk.

Will definitely be back to discover more of Plaza de la Fundacion on our next visit.

You take an elevator to the 37th floor then take another one up to the top or if you dont want to wait you can take the stairs. BUT if you want the same or similar views for free you can just go to the restaurant which i belive is on the 39th or 40th floor. So instead of buying tickets to go to the observation deck you can just say you're going to the restaurant. Of course the prices are a little elevated but just think that you'd be spending 220 pesos per person just to go to the observation deck. So just get a drink and maybe a dessert or something. The view is really nice and you can just relax and enjoy. We had a tres leches cake which swimming in sauce, very spongy and wet and also had a layer of whipped cream, delicious! We also got the mango ice cream, it was quite a large scoop and came on top of some sort of cookie or granola crumble. It was creamy and had a nice mango flavor, most of all refreshing. But most of all you're there for the view. We went there on our last day before leaving for the airport so we were in sort of a rush. So we asked for our check multiple times but they are used to people taking their time and just enjoying the view. So we just got up and paid at the register before we left.

We met a walking tour in front of the fountain last week and arrived a bit early to take in the sight of it. It's quite beautiful with gorgeous landscaping around its base. It's not a bad place to sit on a bench and people watch, and it's worth walking a few minutes out of your way to see it! One of CDMX's many fountains, monument, and statues that are worth a visit!

Ot was pretty interesting to read that it took a couple of sculptures 15 years to produce this work of art. It appears to be a lion drawn carriage with a famous person riding at the top. It's also obvious to see that the city has put a lot of effort into maintaining the sculpture that is at least 25 feet tall. The landscape surrounding the fountain, as well as, the park surrounding have been kept up very well. I did not see very many places for visitors to sit however. Moreover, there are not a lot of tress, so bring your sunblock. The circle to access the park and fountain is also very busy with cars, and there is no real marked crosswalk, so be careful because the cars don't slow down. I would characterize this monument as a must-see!

I like to come here for the old part of the city, Centro Historic is the section of the city that I like the best. If you like to people watch, then this section is for you. There are non-stop throngs and throngs of people every day of the week. This area is not perfect or clean, and really it's the imperfection and antique vibe which is what makes this area so special. I think when most tourists come to Mexico City they tend to get stuck either where the nightlife is, or where the big fancy hotels are at. Centro Historico has maintained it's original look and feel, with a few exceptions of course. My recommendation would be to check out all of Centro Historico, not just the area around Zocalo, because it really is quite amazing.
