I was only in Mexico City for a short time, but I had a lot of fun. We found a great hostel that was only $7.00 a night, and it was right off of the main plaza. We met lots of people from all around the world and that was great. Since we were there for only a couple of days, we didn’t plan much but just walked around a lot. We visited the beautiful parks and soaked in the architecture of the city. My friend did some great shopping at designer stores that can’t be found in the U.S., while I hung out at coffee shops practicing my Spanish and drinking amazing coffee. People always visit Mexico for the beaches, but this city truly has a lot to offer and is well worth adding a couple of days to your vacation. Also, it is reasonably priced and even if you speak no Spanish people are very friendly and will help you.
