Mexico City corresponds to the Federal District, the site of the powers of the Union and capital of the United Mexican States. The political, economic, and cultural center, Federal District contains a tenth of the population of Mexico. Mexico City is also the biggest city in the country and one of the largest in the world.When they arrive, visitors will find themselves in front of one of the largest urban points in the world, divided into 16 delegations and 300 colonies – or neighborhoods – with contrasting characteristics which make this city a truly fascinating place. At the beginning its enormity can frighten first-time visitors, but at the same time, it is an important source of cultural wealth.Luckily, the majority of the main attractions are concentrated in the center of the city: Constitution Square – commonly known as El Zócalo – the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace, and the archeological site of Templo Mayor. Moreover, Mexico City offers a wealth of museums situated in colonial homes. A few blocks away you can find Plaza Garibaldi, the unforgettable mecca for anyone who wants to experience Mexico in its most profound character, surrounded by strong aromas of tequila and mariachi music. Walking west, only 20 minutes away, you can reach Republic Square, where you can find the Monument to the Revolution, with an underground museum.
