It was a very nice time of year for travelers visiting Mexico. We went in mid April when they are currently in their 'dry' season, so although we went prepared with raincoats, we never unpacked them. Here are a few things we did, which I would highly recommend.

We took the "Turibus" which is a double decker tourist bus you can catch in many parts of the city which takes you on a round trip of an area with guided audio included (you can pick up a headset in several languages if needed; the voice you can hear on the bus is in Spanish).

We took the "Downtown" route which circles through some of the main avenues of the city and includes stops at the Zocalo, which is the main plaza of Mexico City home to several government buildings, the Cathedral, and the excavated Templo Mayor (a temple that was uncovered when some construction was started near the Cathedral).

Unfortunately, it was a Monday and all museums are closed on Monday (file that away to plan your stay), so all we could do was walk around the outside of the excavation. You can take any of the routes you want and get on and off as many times as you like. S There were routes to get to the Basilica and other places, but we kept it simple.

One day, my cousin drove us out to Teotihuacan which is a pre-Aztec city with three major temples in it: the Temple of the Moon, the Temple of the Sun, and the Temple to Quetzalcoatl all linked by the Avenue of the Dead. There is a museum there as well as new excavation and discoveries all the time which makes this a great place to visit each time you are in the area.

There are many tour companies that come out which may include food as well as a guided tour. I highly recommend eating at "La Gruta" which is in a cave very near the park. They have a very diverse menu and the ambiance is fabulous!

There were quite a few people at Teotihuacan since it was a school holiday (holy week before Easter), but, if anything, the lines to go up the temple just made it that much easier to climb up. Not that I needed a break or anything (*cough*). Before I left, besides checking into US travel health insurance for Mexico and what my travel credit card would do for me, I downloaded the Uber app on my phone and entered the credit card I wanted to use for that as well as the Airbnb app.

I had already used Airbnb while in Europe last summer and found (unfortunately AFTER I was on my trip) that it was a nice way to house 6 people in the same place but you DID need to have the app ready to use on your phone. Uber I had not used before and I must say that I found it very convenient. My cousins use it all the time in the city.

I know there is a lot of controversy around it, but here's what I liked about it: (1) the cars are fairly new and clean (some taxis I have taken in Mexico City... well, let's just say they've seen better days), (2) there is no money that exchanges hands since everything, even a tip, is put on the app, and, for security, (3) you have the name of the driver, a picture of him or her, and the license plate, make and model of the car, so you can make sure you have the right ride.

I thought it was tremendously convenient and safe, although we were never out very late at night. It gave me the opportunity to go places quickly and easily. I have taken he subway and we did so again, but this was in some ways much simpler. I also found that the rates were a little better than regular taxis.

So, used Uber to go to the Market of Arts and Crafts (Mercado de Artesanias) where I found some really interesting and wonderful crafts. These also are always changing and evolving, so it's never dull to go back to the same vendors. We took the subway to see Chapultepec Castle which was built in 1785 on a hill in the middle of Chapultepec forest (now a park) and was the home of Emperor Maximilian of France and his wife Carlota from 1864 to 1867 when he was deposed.

It still has much of the furnishings from when they lived there. It also offers wonderful views of Reforma Avenue (which Maximilian had built) which goes into the center of the city.
