**🏛️ Start at the Zocalo** Begin your trip at the Zocalo, the city's main square, surrounded by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace. The Templo Mayor museum, just off the square, reveals Aztec ruins and artifacts from the ancient city of Tenochtitlan. Entry to the museum costs 95 pesos and is closed on Mondays. **🎨 Explore Chapultepec Park** Chapultepec Park is larger than New York's Central Park and houses several museums, including the world-class National Museum of Anthropology. The museum's admission is 95 pesos, and it's closed on Mondays. Don't miss the Chapultepec Castle at the top of the hill for panoramic city views. **🌮 Eat in Coyoacan** Coyoacan is a bohemian neighborhood perfect for a food crawl, with Mercado de Coyoacan offering tacos, tostadas, and fresh juices. Try the famous tostadas at Tostadas Coyoacan, or grab a churro from a street vendor. The market is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. **🚤 Visit Xochimilco's Canals** Take a colorful trajinera boat ride through the ancient canals of Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can hire a boat for around 600 pesos per hour for up to 20 people, with mariachi bands and food vendors floating by. Go on a weekday to avoid crowds, and arrive early to secure a spot. **🎭 See Lucha Libre** Experience Mexico City's vibrant Lucha Libre wrestling at Arena Mexico, the sport's premier venue. Tickets range from 100 to 500 pesos depending on seat location, with shows on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday evenings. Arrive early to see the masked wrestlers up close and grab a souvenir mask outside the arena. **🏙️ Ride the Cablebus** The Cablebus aerial tramway offers stunning views over the city's sprawling neighborhoods, especially on Line 2 which goes over the Sierra de Guadalupe. A ride costs 7 pesos and connects to the Metro at Indios Verdes station. It's a cheap and scenic way to see a different side of the city. **🍸 Nightlife in Roma Norte** Roma Norte is the epicenter of Mexico City's cocktail scene, with speakeasies like Hanky Panky and rooftop bars such as Terraza Roma. Drinks average 150 to 250 pesos, and many bars have a lively but relaxed vibe. Start your evening around 9 p.m. and explore the area's many dining options first. **🎵 Hear Mariachi in Garibaldi** Plaza Garibaldi is the heart of mariachi music, where bands gather to play for tips or a set fee. You can hire a group for around 200 pesos per song, or simply enjoy the atmosphere from a nearby cantina like Salón Tenampa. The plaza is busiest on weekends and late into the night.
