MEXICO CITY - BEST RESTAURANTS
Introduction
Arriving in Mexico City (or "town of Tequila"), going off the plane, breathing, oh yee it is hard! Mexico City is located 2255 m/7400 ft above sea level and with over 8,836,045 inhabitants bursting at the seams. But no other city has more museums or theaters in the world which can keep you busy for several days. The rich history is obvious in every angel: The temple ruins the Templo Mayor, or strolling around Plaza de la Constitución (The Zocalo) which is the historic heart of Mexico City; the "floating gardens" of Xochimilco which are World Heritage Sites by the UNESCO or pass by at the Mexican "Champs-Élysées" the Paseo de la Reforma visiting Mexico City`s icon the Golden Angel of Independence. Not enough? Catch a cab (never on the street and no green taxis "Green Beatles") and drive 33miles/53 km to Teotihuacan - a moumental city of pyramides and temples. After all that enjoy the real Mexican life with some shots of Tequila at Pujol...Cheers!
