I loved walking around the Zocalo and the cathedral, despite the huge numbers of people everywhere, selling, strolling, the Aztec revivalists dancing and asking for change. We bought a great conch shell instrument from an Aztec dancer. Don't expect any personal space and you'll be fine. It's got so much culture and life it's a very vibrant place.

Why go anywhere else? If you are in the mood to see museums, cathedrals, the main plaza, hear mariachi, drink tequila, and see the historic city there is no need to go anywhere else.
