Mexico City’s geography

Mexico City has a unique geography that poses challenges for its future. If you take a look at the flag of Mexico, you’ll see an eagle eating a snake while perched on a cactus. Legend has it that the nomadic Mexica tribe would build its city wherever they saw this vision realized. Lake Texcoco fit the prophecy and thus began the building of the capital city on the lake. It became a Venice of sorts, with canals and boats providing much of the transportation.

Mexico City is also situated in the Valley of Mexico. It is the seventh-tallest city in the world, with an altitude of over 7,200 feet (2,200 meters). However, it is also sinking at a rate of up to 20 inches a year due to its underground aquifers being slowly drained (and since it was also a lake in a previous life). The city also is in the shape of a bowl, thanks to the surrounding mountains and volcanoes, making it prone to flooding.

Modern Mexico City

Despite its challenges, Mexico City is one of the world's most populous cities, with over 21 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area. It has the largest subway, train system, and airport in Latin America and the second-most museums in the world (London takes first place). There is truly never a dull moment in Mexico City, so let’s go!

Museums are often closed on Mondays

Double-check the opening hours and schedule of attractions you’d like to visit on Mondays since most museums are closed because it is a slower day than the weekend. It is also worth checking if there is a national holiday so you can avoid getting to your museum and finding it is closed.

Puebla to Mexico City by bus

Buses routinely leave Puebla in 15 minute intervals back to the capital of Mexico City. Tickets are $4 to $30 (67 to 504 MXN), depending on if you splurge on first-class seats. The trip takes 2 hours and 20 minutes. The buses are direct, so there is no need to worry about how you will transfer. The Central Puebla Bus Station is located in the north of the city and the bus will drop you off at CDMX TAPO San Lazaro Bus Station. Check your hotel's distance from the bus station to see if you’ll need a car or taxi afterward.

Museums in Mexico City

Mexico City is the city of museums. With over 140 museums, it has the second-most museums of any city in the world. It’ll be impossible to see them all, but the ultimate one to make time in your schedule for is the National Museum of Anthropology. It is easily the most comprehensive collection of pre-Columbian artifacts, including the Aztec Sun Stone and the giant Olmec heads.

The next ones are for all the art lovers: MUAC (Museo Universitario Arte Contemporaneo) has 14,000 square feet of contemporary artwork from Mexican artists spanning 1950 to today. For an in-depth look into Frida Kahlo's life, visit Casa Azul, her former home, now a museum showcasing her art, personal belongings, and studio.

The Chapultepec Castle Complex

Mexico City also has the only royal palace in the Americas. Chapultepec Castle is located at the top of a hill, and at the top you can enjoy panoramic views of the valley below as well as another museum: The National History Museum. The vast green oasis of Chapultepec Park also has the Chapultepec Zoo, the Modern Art Museum, lush gardens, and serene lakes.

Xochimilco Boat Rides

Before Spanish colonization, Mexico City was navigated by a series of canals. Now, the only remnant of this form of transportation in Mexico City is in Xochimilco. Float past the colorful floating gardens of Xochimilco aboard a traditional_ trajinera _boat, complete with mariachi bands, food vendors, and breathtaking scenery. For couples, a short ride is best, but if you are traveling with a larger group of friends, do the tours that are a few hours long and party it up!

However, if you're interested in experiencing cultural events such as Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) or Semana Santa (Holy Week), you might want to plan your visit around those dates. These festivals typically occur in late October/early November and late March/early April, respectively. It will be a unique experience but expect larger crowds.

Keep in mind that Mexico City is at a high altitude of about 7,350 feet (2,240 meters), which can lead to cooler temperatures, especially at night. So be sure to pack accordingly, regardless of when you visit.
