Centro Histórico, the heart of Mexico City, is where the past and present collide in the most captivating way. This area traces its roots back to the Aztec city of Tenochtitlán and later became the epicenter of colonial New Spain after the Spanish conquest. With its blend of pre-Hispanic ruins and baroque cathedrals, colonial palaces, and buzzing modern shops, Centro offers a vivid timeline of Mexico’s layered history. OJO - Keep an eye for pick pockets and any advancing moves. Centro can be a bit more hectic than other areas in the city.

Here’s a curated list of can’t miss bits from iconic landmarks to hidden gems, unforgettable street eats, and rooftop bars with jaw-dropping views. In regards to the Cathedral itself, dont bother going inside! For whatever reason, it’s quite hideous - the outside is much better! Allow your imagination to paint a picture of what the interior would look like.
