Each neighborhood is a different city
CDMX's colonias have distinct personalities. Here's where to go based on what you're after.
You're higher than Denver
Mexico City sits at 7,350 feet above sea level. Most visitors won't notice much beyond slight breathlessness on stairs, but it pays to know. Our itineraries are paced with altitude in mind — gentle Day 1, building from there.
