Sprawling across a valley
encircled by ice-capped volcanoes and mountains,
atop an ancient Aztec civilisation, Mexico City
is North America's highest city, and one of the
worlds most densely populated. With a long and
fascinating history that runs from ancient native
civilisations through to the invasion of the Conquistadors
and subsequent colonial rule, Mexico City has
a vast number of fascinating sights and attractions.
In the city centre,
constructed out of the stones of the ancient palaces
and temples, is the vast open space of the Zócalo
- Mexico's city square - said to be the second
largest in the world after Moscow's Red Square.
At La Merced you'll
discover the city's largest and most vibrant market,
with a vast array of bizarre and exciting stalls,
while the huge expanse of the Bosque de Chapultepec
park houses the National Museum of Anthropology,
with a fascinating collection of pre-Hispanic
artefacts.
At Teotihuacán
visitors will discover one of the most impressive
and mysterious archaeological sites in Mexico,
constructed by an ancient, and long forgotten
culture.
