It was the perfect intro to an escape room for our eight-year-old daughter. For around $20 a person, we booked the room where everything is hobbit-sized since it was more kid-friendly. Staff explained the rules in English and the clues were in English as well as Spanish. Nothing was too complicated, but we did need to ask for a few clues. We solved the puzzle within an hour and had a blast!

This place is a cool place to sit out in the street and watch the crowds walk by. It's a hip, younger crowd that hangs out here- with music, food, and drinks! The food selections here are all moderately priced places that focus on Chilango- Mexico City food. Don't expect to find a chain restaurant here. The food choices are numerous. There are many Mezcal bars, and tequila joints that sell crickets in their guacamole. Cool! The outdoor bars serve huge beers- including a small mini keg that they place on the table so drinks don't run dry. There's also Pulque places around here- it's a syrupy sour and sweet fermented low alcoholic drink that is worth a sip, but that's it. The neighborhood seems like it's had hard times in the past, with older style of buildings that have been in various states of disrepair until the whole area seems to have been revitalized, with street art and the buildings fixed up. The area was very safe- especially since it's only pedestrian traffic. There were police at every intersection, as well as signs with maps to direct you to the highlights. The cops helped answer my questions with a smile.

Most of the intersections are blocked off to traffic, and instead, the streets are handed back to the bicyclists and runners! We saw they were simultaneously holding a 5k for runners! Bicycles cram the street by the thousand! It's not a race, but a leisurely ride. Some riders come with fantastical bicycles that defy description. Many people ride ridiculous or costumed bikes, some with weird themes. The ride takes you up and down the major arterial street for Mexico City- one of the busiest boulevards in the world. It's hard to believe that the whole thing is shut down for the bicyclists, but it decreases pollution, and gets people out to exercise! If you're not participating, and just want to drive through, there are still ways to cut through the bike traffic if your driver is on the ball. My trip involved going around the roundabout at the Angel of Independence - in the opposite direction than normal on the roundabout. Hair raising! My city of San Antonio, Texas 'borrowed' the idea from Mexico City, and we have a similar event called "Ciclovia" on a quarterly basis. This is cool that it's weekly! It's FREE!!! Even if you don't have a bike, people can just walk or run. There are places to rent bikes from the kiosks along the way, and bike rental huts all along the Paseo de la Reforma.

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.

I can only imagine how bustling the Plaza is during the day with the sights and smells of Mexico City's historic culture. There was lots of activity even in the evenings, mostly families out for an evening weekend stroll. This is a spectacular spot in an amazing city. Will definitely be back to discover more of Plaza de la Fundacion on our next visit.

I didn't get to explore as much or stay as long as I wanted, but everything I did see was beautiful and really enjoyable. You can rent pedal boats and ride around the lake, or just walk around and take it all in. There's also a library overlooking the pond area that's really nice to stop by. Overall, it's a great place to spend the day, and I'd definitely go back to explore more.

This area contains the Chapultepec Castle which used to be the imperial palace and presidential residence. It also houses the Museo Nacional de Antropologia which is a historical museum of the country. It also contains the Chapultepec Zoo which is a popular and free kids attraction. We first walked through one area where we saw souvenir stalls selling trinkets like magnets and monkey hats. We then saw the lake and bridge. Then we walked to the castle base. Then we walked over to the museum to enter. Throughout the area you'll see street food and street stalls, performers, and walking paths. There's also a lake where you can rent paddle boats. If nothing else there are lots of trees so you can relax in the shade. If you're coming to Mexico City this will most likely be one of the stops you visit, and depending on what you like you could spend all day here.
