Mexico City is an exciting and wonderful place; not only the Mexican capital, it is also the largest and most lively city of the South American continent. Part of the city’s appeal is in its dichotomous mix of people and places—bohemian hipsters and the well-to-do, world-class terraces and dive bars or street vendors, Six Flags amusement parks and cosmopolitan art exhibits—the blend is strange, but never boring! La Feria de Chapultepec Magico, one of the oldest amusement parks in Mexico, offers a great family atmosphere and isn’t as crowded as most amusement parks. The National Palace shows off the amazing murals of Diego Riviera, and El Zocalo, a central plaza, often hosts traveling cultural and art exhibits that will stop you in your tracks. It can be difficult to put the electricity and color of Mexico City into words, but once here, you’ll feel it.
