72 hours in Mexico City | first time visiting

After hearing many good things, I convinced my mom to travel with me to Mexico City for a long weekend. We explored the Centro Histórico, went on a bike tour of Coyoacán, saw Frida Khalo's home, visited the Bosque de Chapultepec and Museo Nacional de Antropología, traveled to the pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, and walked through various colorful neighborhoods and parks.
The city far exceeded my expectations! It had so much green space, incredibly kind people, delicious food and coffee, and a rich history. I hope you enjoy the video! 🇲🇽

I am from Mexico City, have lived here all my life and this city has never stopped to amaze me. It is full of parks, museums history and culture. Many people still don't know anything about this city. Isnt that a shame? Thank you for your video

[@mikhailalynn]

It seems like one of those cities where you could live a whole lifetime there and still not get to see everything it has to offer!

[@gerardoluna9682]

@@mikhailalynn absolutely, there is always a new place to discover. In fact you missed other famous places in the city: Xochimilco, San Ángel, Museo Soumaya, Santa Fe and many more. You will need to come back for a second part

[@mikhailalynn]

I really do!

[@enriquemurillo2589]

What a lovely video , so peaceful , thank you for coming to my city ! We look forward to having you back !

[@mikhailalynn]

It’s an incredible city! One of my all time favorites I think 😊

[@KamieOutdoors]

What a delightful video. How awesome to travel with your momma.

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you! 😊 We are two peas in a pod, so we’re great travel buddies

[@tommyl7585]

Mexico is another world... a beautiful world. 😮🍃🇲🇽👏👏👏 Awesome video great content!

[@mikhailalynn]

It really is. Thanks! 🇲🇽☀️

[@BrownboyMexa]

That's the Mèxico we want to see.. Not the one the news want us to believe.. Mèxico is not all violence... Sad thing is we're neighbors and you'll got the wrong idea about our country.. Glad you showing what Mèxico really is.. Not just Cancun..

[@mikhailalynn]

I agree and wish more in the US were able to see Mexico for what it is - so much beauty, history, and many wonderful, kind people. Glad you appreciated the video!

[@Bobjenner1787]

Super pretty city! Glad you shared this with us ❤

[@mikhailalynn]

I agree 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@thegreg79]

I just love your vibe. You seem like such a grounded down to earth girl with a healthy appetite for adventure. I really enjoy your videos and can't wait to see more of them!

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you so much! Love a good adventure

[@James_Edward59]

Loved the video, it’s hard explaining to people that Mexico isn’t all violence if they have never visited before granted there definitely is that aspect to Mexico too but those are usually areas tourists don’t visit. Next time someone thinks all of Mexico is horrible, I’m going to send them to this video so they can see that there are many parts of Mexico that are even nicer than many parts here in America.

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you so much! I completely agree with you

[@dactercarrasco]

i really love your shots of mexico city, i dont know if you have ever studied film or photography or its just natural, but you make really nice shots and framing, also your voice and face its really relaxing to hear and see, new suscriber now, greetings from mexico✌

[@mikhailalynn]

Not formally apart from a film photography class in high school, but I have always loved filming and editing videos. I’m really glad you enjoyed this one! Thank you for the kind comment 😊

[@lewizzrocks]

You want to go to coyoacan past 5pm, it really comes alive and feels like a special place.

[@mikhailalynn]

That sounds like it would be amazing 🌃

[@panchosoft_]

Next time visit Castillo de Chapultepec; it is amazing, and the views from there are breathtaking as well! :) Saludos! 👋

[@mikhailalynn]

[@jleongc8332]

Muy buen video....y las felicito porque tuvieron un acierto al ir muy temprano a la mayoría de los lugares turísticos, pues así aprovecharon mejor cada sitio....lo único malo es que no fueron al castillo de Chapultepec, y tampoco a Xochimilco, creo que les hubiera encantado....

[@mikhailalynn]

Sí, me gustaría visitar al castillo y a Xochimilco. Tal vez en el futuro! 🤞🏼

[@TheLxhorta]

very nice!! love your mom reaction and reflection on the amount of people!! also can you provide info on who is the company or people for the bike tour in coyoacan! and the Pyramids.. thanks

[@mikhailalynn]

Yes!! She was totally right - so many people everywhere we looked. We booked the bike tour through trip advisor and the pyramid tour through tours by locals: www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g150800-d17716919-Frida_Kahlo_Museum_VIP_Skip_the_line_Bikes_Churros-Mexico_City_Central_Mexico_and_.html www.toursbylocals.com/Teotihuacan-tour-city-mexico

Great Video! 19:39 What restaurant is that? It seems the food is delicious!!

[@mikhailalynn]

Contramar! It was 10/10, absolutely incredible. No reservations available when I looked online a few weeks ahead of trip, but they were able to find as a table right when we showed up around 2pm despite it being completely packed.

[@mjhammer22894]

Terrific video! Really enjoyed it. Traveling to cdmx in two weeks myself, wondering where/how you booked your guide?

This was an amazing trip with your mom! I absolutely enjoyed this video, thank you very much! Do you remember where did you find your guide for the pyramids?

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you!! It really was a great time with her. We went with Mario via “Tours by Locals”

[@user-ov8hl6ps3b]

Loved this video! Everything looks so beautiful :) Can you share where you found the private tour guide for the pyramids please?

We had a wonderful time! 😊 I'm glad you were able to watch the video. My mom says hi!

[@erickaraizacamacho]

Hi! Thanks for the video! You guys should come on September, the Mexican atmosphere change because of the Independence Day! It’s a celebration, and it’s very nice!

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you for the recommendation! That sounds like it would be such a cool way to experience the city 🇲🇽

[@erickaraizacamacho]

@@mikhailalynn it’s overwhelming

[@James_Edward59]

I prefer being in Mexico during Dia De Muertos, there’s nothing like it to me.

Nice 🌹 ♥️ 🤗 😘

Thank you for not playing the same free mariachi song every youtuber has in their visit to MX.😅

[@mikhailalynn]

Lolol you’re welcome!!

[@andreawalker9024]

I loved your video, by any chance do you remember the names of the restaurants that you ate that you showed in the video? They looked really good!

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you!! We went to Mexa Cocina del Alma day 1, La Capital day 2, and Contramar (my favorite) day 3

[@beamierjukkam.6291]

I really enjoyed your video! What is the name of the neighborhood you stayed in?

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you! We stayed in La Condesa!

[@cristianlara7168]

Great video, if you don’t mind me asking where exactly are these colorful buildings located in Coyoacán 8:00?

[@mikhailalynn]

It was Hacienda de Cortés! Very beautiful spot

[@DL-wk2ez]

Hello! Awesome video! What neighborhood did you and your mom stay in?

[@mikhailalynn]

We stayed in La Condesa!

[@davidornelas195]

Did you not visit Chapultepec Castle? (The only official castle in this part of the world(Great video!

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you!! It was on our list, but we did not have time to see it sadly 😢

[@uvisionhalifax1581]

Thanks for the video. Question- how much did you pay for the private tour to the pyramids? Thanks!

[@mikhailalynn]

We booked with Mario here: www.toursbylocals.com/MexicoPrivateGuide

[@user-ru1jz9cq2y]

In what direction is the outdoor market in Coyoacan from the Frida Museum?

[@mikhailalynn]

The markets we went to were right by Centro de Coyacán, so south of the Frida Museum.

[@jorgefernandogutierrez1651]

Para que conozcan una verdadera ciudad con cultura y modernidad .

[@mikhailalynn]

Es la verdad!

[@azrael3137]

ano Ciudad de México ❤

[@James_Edward59]

Amo* lol Google doesn’t translate what you wrote out very well 😂

[@ivansanchez8458]

Nice video, you didn't ho in to the castle?

[@mikhailalynn]

Thanks! Sadly, we did not have time to go in the castle 😢

[@SuperNycfashion]

Where did you stay? Like what area? Were you close to any public transportation and how did you feel about safety?

[@mikhailalynn]

We stayed in La Condesa near the border of Chapultepec Park. We primarily used Uber to get around the city if going far distances, but we felt safe walking around during the daytime and early evening. You have to keep an eye out like in any big city, but felt similar to NYC to me 🏙️

[@James_Edward59]

Mexico City is known for being very safe for tourists, it’s safer than most American cities especially big American cities.

[@SonnyT666]

Si regresan deberian ir a la "Arena México", a un partido de fútbol ya sea en el estadio azteca u olímpico universitario, Garibaldi, al bosque "desierto de los leones" y SantaFe, hay muchos restaurantes. Saludos.

[@mikhailalynn]

Gracias por el consejo! Sería divertido, estoy seguro 😊🇲🇽🤍

[@leemelvin6514]

cant remember 1 clip of them eating street food. thats criminal lol

[@mikhailalynn]

Lol I know 🫣 Next time for sure

[@James_Edward59]

Lol it definitely is in Mexico City, CDMX is famous for its street food, all of Mexico is but especially for places like Mexico City, Puebla, Oaxaca, Jalisco and Michoacán and Sinaloa for Mariscos.

[@alobosk]

You've got the best of luck to be visiting right when you could see all the valley from the edge. I just went from March 24th to the 30th (2024) and the air was NASTY. You did your research and it paid off. You spent the best 72 hours there are to spend in Mexico City. For you next trip to CDMX, PLEASE stay at the Camino Real hotel. I stay there every time I go. It's such an amazing architectural feast, plus the service is top-notch, and it's unbelievably cheap (I've paid $75 per night for two adults). Read upon the history of that hotel. It's fascinating. Next time do the bougie tour. Roma, Condesa (go deep), Polanco, Santa Fe, San Angel. It's just fun and takes you to another layer of what CDMX is. You won't believe your eyes on how opulent society can be. It's an anthropological exercise.

[@mikhailalynn]

Thank you so much for the kind comment and advice for next time! I definitely want to go back and spend longer than 72 hours exploring CMDX. It's an incredible city!

[@JesusRodriguez-rw6fy]

Gracias por visitar México.

[@mikhailalynn]

El placer fue mío 😊
