Pia´s favorite Mexico City

It´s an amazing way to move around. Quick, cheap and very interesting. A good place to watch people and sometimes even do some shopping!

If you don´t want to use public transport, call an authorized taxi such as Taxi Radio Union, nr. +52 55147709 or use Uber.

There is a water filter by the kitchen where you can refill your water bottle before going out to explore the city.

This architectural gem by the famous Luis Barragán will only let you in with a reservation. Call a few weeks in advance as this is a popular spot. It is absolutely worthwhile and you can walk from home, it will take you 15 to 20 minutes.

On weekends the Chapultepec park is a nice place to stroll around and have a snack. Around the lake you will find some exclusive restaurants, and these must be reserved in advance. If else, you may find yourself hungry and waiting on a long line, opting for some chips and soda from the adjacent fast food stands!

You can find anything you need in Mexico city, so there is nothing special you must pack - except for perhaps earplugs? Winter can be cold so make sure to bring closed shoes, sweaters and a jacket if you visit between November and March. Rainy starts in June and ends in September, it pours for a couple of hours each evening and is a nice time to visit the city.

For safety reasons try not to show off jewelry, cellphones or such on the street and on public transport. But feel safe, it´s only a precaution ;)
