« Mexico is so diverse! 😍 This place has captivated me with its colorful houses, fascinating architecture (the locations), vibrant markets, delicious fruits, and amazing people. ❤️
People are always ready to lend a hand, trying their best to explain things, even if it’s just in Spanish, with plenty of enthusiasm (though it seems like everyone understands what's being said).
Just today, a woman on the bus gave us 10 pesos (in cash, but still, how nice is that?), because we needed coins to pay for our bus fare, and I only had bills. I was so pleasantly surprised!
And it’s worth noting that Mexico is a bustling metropolis, similar to other major cities, but the people here are completely different! »
« Who wants to stroll through downtown Mexico City? Get ready :) It looks absolutely amazing like this. So, "unpacking a suitcase" on the street is definitely not worth it. »
« One of the main attractions in Mexico is the ancient Teotihuacan. On its territory, there are two large pyramids: the Sun☀️ and the Moon 🌙. During our visit, there were very few people, so we decided to start our trip very early and did not regret it. ☝🏽 It’s optimal to leave at 6 in the morning by Uber, and you should be at the pyramids by 7:00. The crowd was almost nonexistent, we calmly took photos and practically had the sunrise all to ourselves. 🌅 I want to note that the weather in the morning was quite chilly, dress warmly! 😩
The view from the pyramids is undoubtedly beautiful 😍 and the peaceful atmosphere around gives you a sense of tranquility. 💙 If you’re in Mexico, it’s a must-visit! You won't regret it. 😉✌🏽 »
« Cathedral St. Stephen's Basilica ⚜️ Honestly, I must say I feel more at home in Catholic churches and cathedrals; they have so much more grandeur and beauty. There are also benches where you can sit, reflect, and meditate instead of standing and getting exhausted during the service. You don't need to buy candles there; they are already placed next to the saints, and you just light them up. »
« I’m strolling through the streets of Mexico City. What a stunning place! 😍 You might wonder if it’s worth traveling to Mexico City; my answer is a resounding yes! 🙌 Of course, this city isn’t just for beach lovers, so if you're prepared to trade a day on the sand for a dive into rich culture, art, and history, you need to make the trip here! If you're eager to immerse yourself in the vibrant essence of the country, you simply have to come here! »
« Mexico City from a bird's eye view, or rather from the Torre Latinoamericana. Below, you can see the beautiful Alameda Park. The whole city is adorned with blooming purple trees right now. Today, we explored the historic center of the city. By the way, I really enjoyed the city center. And unexpectedly, we stumbled upon a film shoot for a James Bond movie. So on November 6, 2015, we’ll head to the cinema to look for familiar scenes. 🌆🎬 »

« Huge city. Bigger than some capitals. But that's also because the tall buildings are mostly in the center. The majority of people live in individual houses. I was asked if I liked Mexico City... A confident no. It's like a big, somewhat dirty village filled with crowds and insane traffic. »
