About Mexico DF. Just as a grand museum, Mexico City, is a place marked by 3,000 years of human cultural achievement and presents itself as one of the great capitals of the world .It is a must for anyone who longs to understand the complex past and present  of Mexico.

For many, Mexico City encapsulates the best and worst of Mexico with its expanse in steps. Besides being the oldest inhabited city in the Western Hemisphere, Mexico City also carries the burden of being the largest city the world has ever known.

Mexico City is located in a vast plain in a dry lake bed of a mountain(7,400 feet elevation) and surrounded by high plains.  The city´s size exceeds 2,000 square kilometers. It is  a captivating city with a magnetism  not found in  other cities. With some patience, the cosmopolitan character of Mexico City also reveals itself  in the  dazzling urban reality.

It presents itself as an active city that moves itself in modern elegance while concealing  the  former colonial roots. It is common to see glass and concrete skyscrapers tower over ancient ruins ,in conjunction with mansions  from the colonial era. Through out Mexico City there are wonderful places ,which preserved their colonial and Aztec  heritage. Those are made ​​up of amazing historical sites, ranging  from ancient ruins, colonial buildings,  to ancient churches, parks, monuments and charming squares.  Still, there are  several residential  nehborhoods  which somehow survived the challenge posed by the complex Mexico City.

The tour  options are endlesss, enveloping visitors with demonstrations of the vast past.  The cultural attractions are very distinct from others throughout the world.  That is justified by dozens of fine museums,  which cater to varied artistic and academic interests ranging from music, dance, theater, modern art. Al of that results  in the growing culture of the city, which in total has 130 museums, 64 theaters, 5  stadiums, 7  theme parks , archeological sites  and 11 ecological parks.
