Tremendous Capital City! Visitors quickly realize of the history, culture, traditions, delicious and eclectic gastronomy. Mexico City is just fascinating, too much to explore and discover. Mexico has the largest number of world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO, the product of its complex historic processes. Nice vid!

[@natashtepa]

Thank you for watching🙂 Mexico City is one of our favourite! It’s so rich in history and culture, you can’t get bored in there:) Do you live in CDMX or are you a fellow traveler as us?)

[@gabrielbaronabaeza1940]

I would add Museo de Arte Popular, and Museo Anahuacalli

[@natashtepa]

These are good ones, thank you for mentioning! We didn’t have a chance to visit Museo de Arte Popular, but will try to do it next time. And Museo Anahuacalli is really impressive one - we mentioned it in our other video about museums of CDMX. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3KmXoeIga6hrs0si=UgrI-YKrLRDhDYAq

[@jess49497]

wow I loved your video I hope your trip to Mexico City has been the most fun, Mexico is a country full of culture and traditions I hope to return to that beautiful country soon.

[@natashtepa]

Thank you for watching!! Our trip was amazing and Mexico City in particular holds a special place in our hearts☺ What was your favorite place/town/area that you liked the most during your trip?

[@jess49497]

@@natashtepa wow, well, I'll tell you that I traveled to the center of Mexico and I fell in love with everything I met, but I still had a lot to see, among the cities I was there were Mexico City, Puebla, Cuautla, Cuernavaca and Toluca... I hope to return to the Caribbean soon Mexican, thank you.

[@YaEstuBe]

Nice and interesting video. Please note, however, that the National Museum of Anthropology is not the work of Filipino architect Antonio Toledo. The Mexican architect Pedro Ramírez Vasquez led the architectural project.

[@blancalopez4731]

Antonio Toledo?? Vaya que mala información!!?

[@natashtepa]

Thank you, we glad you liked our video! And thanks for catching our error - of course it was Pedro Ramirez Vasquez!🙈 What other buildings by this architect in CDMX do you know of? Any notable ones you’d recommend visiting?

[@maz3808]

Do all mentioned museums have English language support? English text next to paintings, artifacts. Also, what is the best time to visit CDMX?

[@natashtepa]

Hi there. Some museums have dubbed English descriptions, some don’t. We used google translate app - it has a camera feature that translate the text live. It was very helpful in such situations:) In terms of best time to visit, I think this city is great anytime of the year! It may get pretty hot in the summer months. December and January can be colder, so do take sweaters and long pants. And take into account that it can be colder inside as they don’t have central heating and windows are fairly thin. I can say that end of February-March was the most comfortable weather wise. It was warm enough but not too hot. And the Jacaranda trees were in bloom - very special sight🤩 When are you planning to go?

[@maz3808]

@natashtepa Honestly, I'm not sure. I've been watching videos about CDMX for a while but have not decided when the best time to visit is. I'm also keen on knowing if there are other places close to CDMX worth visiting like Taxco? Also, I'm based in MENA, so it will take around 14 hours to reach CDMX😐

[@danieldeleonlangure782]

MNA is not a work of any phillipino architect but by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez

[@natashtepa]

That’s correct. Someone already commented about this error. It is, of course, the work of Pedro Ramirez Válazquez

[@urielcervantes-on3st]

Y el museo nacional de historia En Chapultepec? Y el papalote? Y el arte laboratorio alameda? Y el museo del templo mayor? Y el museo de la ciudad de México? Y el museo de las culturas del mundo? 😂😂😂
