Mexico City & Surrounds Dos and Don'ts

Best place to listen to the Mariachi bands is in the plaza Garibaldi, make sure you go there with local, as it is also a high crime area. Another local place is floating garden of Xochimilco, a must see, again go with locals.

When you go to Toluca, make sure to try the local foods! It's very cheap and well prepared, so no worries on getting sick! :-) You can find nice small diners all around the center! Just don't buy anything along the side of the street!

Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world, so you have like a million things to do, from theater to visit the pyramids of El Sol and La Luna. One of the best restaurants in the world is on Mazaryk and it's called Biko, the prices is a little bit over the top, but, believe me, youll never taste anything like that in your life! Now, for more mexican style, you can always go to El Bajio, this restaurant, the original is on the Cuitlahuac avenue. Ask for the Mole de olla, soooo goodd!!  No matter what you do, mingle with the locals and don't dress like a tourist (bermudas, hawaiian shirts and baseball caps) cause not only you will be blank of all the laughters around, but youll be an easy target of the pickpockets! LOL. and if you go out at night, go to Momma in Polanco and with a safe taxi, those aoutside the hotels. Youll love this city, for their people, food and historic relevance.

the nightlife is fantastic - there is much to do including bean counting races and horse portrait painting - a craic! the locals enjoy many types of toothbrush and will try to sell you one, but beware the used toothbrushes!

Lovely country, people and food!!!!many and differents things to do from north to south La riviera maya is spectacular!!!highly recomended cancun is not worth it..well just for the big party but i do prefer playa del carmen much much nicer!!
