Mexico City is an enormous city and the capital of Mexico. This densely populated, high-altitude metropolis is known for its Templo Mayor, a 13th-century Aztec temple, the baroque Catedral Metropolitana de México of the Spanish conquistadors and the Palacio Nacional, which houses historic murals by Diego Rivera. All of these are situated in and around the Plaza de la Constitución, the massive main square also known as the Zócalo.
It is also a hub for fashion, culinary delights, entertainment and nightlife. With so many different areas and neighborhoods, it’s impossible to see all the city has to offer in one trip. So for this time around, I stuck to a couple areas for exploration.
My home base while in this bustling metropolis was the chic neighborhood of Polanco and my lovely hotel was the Orchid House. A secret gem hidden away in a beautiful 100 year old mansion, this boutique hotel boasts unique, art-inspired rooms and delicious on site restaurant.
