🇲🇽 Hidden Gem Alert – Mexico City is Full of Surprises! ✨

✈️ Flights from LA to Mexico City are available (we had a layover in San Diego). 🛂 A valid US visa is sufficient for entry, but make sure you have a US entry stamp in your passport. Mexico City, the vibrant capital of Mexico 🇲🇽, is one of the world's largest cities, sitting majestically at a high altitude of 2,240 meters. Built on the ruins of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan, it's a fascinating blend of ancient history and modern energy. The city's heart is the Zócalo 🌮, one of the largest public squares globally, surrounded by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace housing Diego Rivera's famous murals. History whispers from every corner, especially at the Templo Mayor archaeological site 🏺, revealing its Aztec foundations. 📍 Although Mexico City Airport is not far from downtown, ride-hailing apps can be a bit chaotic. 🚗 It might be tricky to find the pickup spot on your first visit—don’t hesitate to ask locals for directions! 💁 Most people are genuinely kind and eager to help. #OffTheBeatenPath #TravelTheWorld #HiddenGems #UniqueCities #UnderratedDestinations #WorldHeritageCities #ExploreTheWorld #AuthenticTravel
