The Mexico City guides answer the questions every first visit raises: which taquería is worth the queue, how to fit the Zócalo, Chapultepec and the big museums around Monday closures, where cantinas and mezcal bars still feel local, and how to reach Teotihuacán and Xochimilco by public transport. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser right after you pay.

Three places from the guides
Contramar
Durango 200, Roma Norte
Roma’s best-known seafood lunch, built around a tuna tostada and a whole grilled fish dressed half in red chile, half in green herb sauce. Leave room for the lemon meringue pie. From the food guide.
Torre Latinoamericana Mirador
Eje Central and Madero, Centro
A 1956 tower that has ridden out two major earthquakes, with an open deck on the 44th floor. On a clear winter morning the whole valley lies below you, and the ticket includes a small museum. From the things to do guide.
Salón Los Ángeles
Lerdo 206, Guerrero
A dance hall from 1937 where a live orchestra plays danzón and mambo for couples of every age. Tuesday and Sunday evenings are the ones to catch; watch from a table or ask someone to show you a step. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days with the guides
Day one: the Zócalo, the Cathedral and the Templo Mayor from the things to do guide, a long lunch from the food guide and an evening in a Centro cantina from the nightlife guide. Day two: pyramids or canals with the day trips guide, then tacos in Roma or Condesa. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides point you to free museums such as the Soumaya, the Vasconcelos library and the shady paths of Viveros de Coyoacán.
