Did you know Mexico City is one of the most culturally diverse places in the world? In this series I’m grouping the most important sites by geographical proximity, so that you can choose which days you can do!

In the first article of this series about Mexico City I covered the basics for the busy professional who just doesn’t have the time to plan his trip (most of my clients).
