Fall is the Season to Savor Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the few cities in the world which can boast of rich and ancient history. Mexico City is situated in a valley and surrounded by mountains and volcanoes. Mexico City is a compact city but it hops to the beat of the music, dances at night and is filled with beautiful people. While by day, it is an engaging hub of history blended into day to day lifestyles.
Hello History

Chapultepec Castle or El Ángel de la Independencia are the ideal places to begin your tour of the city. Both of these monuments sit on Paseo de la Reforma which was inspired by the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
While Mexico City bubbles nicely with urban excitement, it hasn't forgotten its heritage either. The museums are right on your doorstep as well. The city has one of the most vibrant museums and art scenes in the entire world.
