Metropolis, capital of the United States of Mexico, located 2240m above sea level and with around 20 million inhabitants, was founded in the year of 1521 by the Spaniards and built upon the ruins of the former Aztec city Tenochtitlán. The different cultures that have left their testimonies cover a period of nearly 2 millenniums and converted the city into a melting pot of modern Mexico. The pyramids of nearby Teotihuacan, the historic city centre, and the Museum of Anthropology are a "must" when visiting Mexico City. The City is indeed an important cultural centre with many museums, art galleries, theatres, folklore, concerts and shopping destination for leather goods such as shoes, textiles, outer garments and jeans, silver, ceramics and artwork. Last but not least Mexico City offers a wide variety of excellent restaurants of French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swiss, Latin-American and among others of course fine Mexican cooking. http://www.mexicocity.gob.mx |
