Mexico City, so close geographically yet so far away in the minds of many travelers.  The city and the area offer a myriad of things to see and do that will interest most people:  preserved Colonial architecture the best examples of which are to be found in the Centro Historico district, built around the famed Zocalo square; archeological zones large and small that are within easy reach using public transportation - from the enoromous ruins at Teothuacán to Templo Mayor and Tlatelolco in the center of the city; 60+ musuems including the reknowned Museo Nacional de Antropologia (National Museum of Anthropology) in Chapultepec Park; a lively arts scene, symbolized by the Palacio de las Bellas Artes and small theaters and art galleries in Colonia Roma; a culture of live entertainment found in hundreds of theaters and clubs; and some of the best eating/food opportunities found anywhere in the world.
