Polanco is a very clean and safe part of Mexico City for the most part. There are tons of clubs and lounges for the night owls and even more places to eat. Some of my favorites are Burritos, Serpico Lounge, Osaka, and Casa Habana. Additionally, there are some places to see like the various embassies, the cathedral, and some parks.... More

I just admit to liking the old colonial colonias (neighborhoods) more then this newer one. Walk around here like we did just to see what Polanco looks like and you will find grand homes, some built to look old, but many that have newer styles. The shops along Masyryk are only for the wealthy. We found nothing that appealed to... More

So this is where the top 0.1% of the City live! Paler and better dressed than the average Mexico City resident, the Polancoese live in their "first world" bubble.

Nice zone to shop and eat. The only problem is the traffic at almost every hour during the week.

Apparently is the residential area for local upper-middle class (the mexican bourgeoisie...), but nothing to see for tourists... restaurants around Av. Emilio Castelar are expensive for what they offer (and all try to look French, looks you can charge more like this in Mexico...). It is clean and secured (by tens of bodyguards all over the place, watching the streets... More

It's ok if that's what you are into: nice expensive restaurants and shops. Don't go in a car. Traffic and parking are nightmarish.
