Mexico City In A Day
20 hours in Mexico city does not do it justice. We try to catch all the sites possible in one day. Well, this city is way bigger than others I have visited, so it was not going to happen. I think we took the best possible transport for getting right into the historical center of Mexico City. We took the Metro which cost 5 pesos to any station you desire, it took around 45 minutes from the airport to Zocalo the historical center.

The buildings in this area are amazing and with rich history, only had time to take a photo and move on to the next. You can never get hungry there, since there are many restaurants, bars and hole in the walls that serves everything you can image.

Shopping
Once there, you just have to walk several blocks from the square and you get into the market zones. If you love shopping, this is the place for you. Anything you want to get, you are most likely going to find it, but there were loads of crap too.
Sidewalk stalls
Want any knock off? This street had them all, I even had somebody ask me not to take any photos on this street.
