The Mexican capital has one of the best food scenes in the world.
Mexico City is one of the largest metropolises in the world, and each of its neighborhoods has a distinct personality. Despite being massive in size, portions of the city can be explored on foot, especially in central areas and south of the city limits. World-class museums can be found minutes from Aztec ruins, and bubbly fermented drinks rooted in ancient tradition accompany the best barbacoa you’ll ever taste — it's easy to see why Mexico City attracts visitors from all around the world.

Centro Histórico
Overview
A mix of street vendors, taquerias and Art Nouveau architecture make this historic district a worthy itinerary stop, but Zócalo plaza is what makes it essential for every visitor. This buzzy square has a history as big as its gathering space: It once served as a community hub for parades, rituals and cultural ceremonies. Today, it retains its status as the heartbeat of the city.

Roma
Overview
Known as the city’s hipster playground, this once-residential neighborhood is experiencing a resurgence. Roma Norte, the north side, is more developed, with trendy rooftops, bars and small, high-quality restaurants literally everywhere. On the south end, Roma Sur is quickly catching up, with modern apartment buildings popping up at every corner, though it still has a relatively low concentration of restaurants and things to see in the area.

Condesa
Overview
Home to two iconic parks and leafy streets lined with Art Deco buildings, Condesa went from being a middle-class residential neighborhood to the epicenter of bohemian nightlife in the aughts. Today, Condesa is expat central with sky-high rents, gorgeous architecture, high-design boutiques and trendy sidewalk cafés.
