Below you will find a suggestion guide to the city. Even if you're not much of a planner, you'll find things to see by wandering the streets and scrumptious food just by following your nose!

This is one of Mexico City's trendier areas and it's filled with lovely art deco homes, tree-lined streets, leafy parks, and bohemian chic shops, bars, and restaurants. Parque Mexico is one of the defining landmarks of the area showing many elements of a European garden, including ponds and walkways. Calle Amsterdam is the most notable street - a large tree-lined oval perfect for morning runs - marking the original hippodrome (horse race track).

Roma is known for being the epicenter of hipster culture in the city, and rivals Polanco as the center of the city's culinary scene (we prefer Roma - it's closer to La Condesa usually more affordable). Besides Art Nouveau and Neo-Classical residential houses and buildings, the neighborhood streets are lined with restaurants, bars, clubs, shops, cultural centers, churches and galleries. Along with the tree-lined streets, green spaces were also created with the addition of small parks.

Mexico City's swankiest neighborhood, Polanco, is famous for its designer shops and upscale restaurants - many of which are situated on the fancy Avenida Masaryk. The architecture is a mix between modern buildings and old Spanish-style haciendas - and walking around in Polanco makes you feel as though you are in any other European city. If you're interested in gourmet cuisine, you will definitely want to make a reservation at Mexico City's famous Michelin-star restaurant, Pujol (start looking now as it takes a month or 2 to get a reservation). We highly recommend you watch Chef's Table episode on Enrique Olvera as it provides an insight into Mexican history and heritage as well as an appreciation for the traditions surrounding food and drink in Mexico.

You cannot go wrong eating in Mexico City. Everything is absolutely delicious. Here are some of our favorite spots, in no particular order, from local taquerias to Michelin star gems:
