Walking Through the Crazy Streets of MEXICO CITY

I love Mexico City, there's so much to do!

[@ssdlq]

Hello, I'm a travel KZbinr from Korea.Your video really helped me a lot. Thank you.😁

[@elpatronchuchin1504]

Bienvenido a México

[@MarkBH70]

I think a Korean would enjoy Mexico.

[@Sidetracked_in_Macau]

Good timing on this one! As I'll be in Mexico City myself in a few weeks!

[@alex0438]

Hey! I'm from Mexico City, you are welcome here! I've traveled around the world and I can say Mexico City is still one of my top favourite cities ever!, you might go to El Zócalo, Reforma, Chapultepec, Roma-Condesa(the coolest neighborhood), Polanco, Coyoacán, Xochimilco. Mexico City is not dangerous, is so friendly and beautiful, it may happen some robberies in the bad areas (as every city in the world) but is not common, I've live here my entire life and never happend to me. Enjoy my beautiful city! It offers so much fun, art and culture

[@joshuaaguilera6864]

[@cosettesan]

what? this means that I follow you since 4 years ago, how come the time passed so fast!!! 😱 so happy to see you back in my city, hope you enjoy a lot ❤

[@chu30cho]

Welcome to the city that never sleep the first video of you that I watched you were at the same place I can’t believe you’re back to the same place Welcome back to my city.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Wow, cool. That must have been my "How expensive is Mexico City" video from four years ago.

[@photographyalamexicana]

The Zócalo in Mexico City, officially known as the Plaza de la Constitución, is nothing short of a magnificent spectacle. It stands as one of the largest city squares in the world, pulsating with the energy of history, culture, and the vibrant spirit of Mexico. Bordered by iconic structures such as the Metropolitan Cathedral, the National Palace, and the Templo Mayor archaeological site, the Zócalo is a mesmerizing convergence of past and present. During festive occasions, the square transforms into a dazzling tapestry of color and celebration, hosting massive events that bring together locals and visitors alike. The sheer scale of the Zócalo, coupled with its rich historical significance, creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere that captures the essence of Mexico's dynamic and resilient identity. It's not just a square; it's a living testament to the heart and soul of a nation. Thanks, Gabriel Traveler!

[@andresmora5192]

MEXICO CITY 🇲🇽 The oldest capital of North America, and of the Americas. (Mexico-Tenochtitlan) Historical capital of four political entities: Capital of the Aztec Empire Capital of the Viceroyalty of the New Spain Capital of the First Mexican Empire Capital of the Mexican Republic Nicknamed by the conquerors The Venice of the new world. Mexico City, is the second city with more museums, in the world, has the Chapultepec Castle, the only real castle in America to be inhabited by emperors. Besides the Bosque de Chapultepec that is three times bigger than Central Park in New York. El Paseo de la Reforma is considered the second most beautiful avenue in the world, after the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The capital has a legacy that mixes architecture, pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern, making Mexico City a cosmopolitan city. The ancient Mexico-Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire, has been transformed into "Mexico City" The metropolis of Latin America. 🏢🏣🏡⛲

Amazing, thanks for sharing Gabriel Traveler!

Thanks for this great Mexico series, Gabriel. I'm thinking to move to MX by the end of the year, and will visit for a month this June. Your videos have helped me to narrow my options. Happy, safe travels!🙂

[@timelesstravelclub6240]

I love that craziness at the Zocalo!

I was in CDMX // Mexico City few months ago and I can say that I had good times 😀. CDMX is a huge city, but Uber is cheap. I won't recommend Taxis as they charge 2X-3X 🤑 more than Uber. I love to take pictures and make videos and upload them on my YT channel 🤗 - be safe & happy travels.

[@paulwilson3434]

Wow Gab. You a champion diver. Must have been a high jumper in high school Aztec festival! Love the plaza !

[@mariafitts]

The thing I love the most about your videos is that you hold the camera at an angle where I feel like I’m walking there with you. I watch your videos on my tv. Like a travel movie

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool, glad to hear it.

[@tomlarsen5451]

Appreciate your videos, big accomplishment navigating threw city to your hotel, then being able to relax and be able to get food would be very satisfying. People everywhere a lot to take in. Be safe !

They are Aztec dancing and excavation of the great "major temple" of the Aztec great video Mexico City is one of the most vibrant big cities I know I really prefer the outlying areas much prettier like Cuernavanca. Good luck on your flight!

You're like a Mexican festival magnet on this trip. Bon viaje to your next mysterious destination. Gracias.

[@ajaycan]

Cool! Keep up the great experiences

[@pedrozatravel]

It is very interesting to see Mexico City from a different perspective. I used to live in Mexico City when I was younger and remember when there was no dancers in the plaza. I remember when the first guy started doing "cures" and then it developed up to what it is today with many dancers and many people selling cures. The Templo Mayor has been there for about 40 years now, it was discovered when the metro line was built.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

I see, thanks. I guess I didn't see it the last time I was there, or else forgot.

[@neilymanadventures6577]

[@eldim1349]

in July 25/26 at El Zocalo the natives do a massive ceremony, they don't ask for money, what you saw were "dancers" performing for money, but the ceremony that i'm telling you is different, you can follow the group "Fundación de Tenochtitlan" at facebook to know when they are going to do their ceremonies.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, You would think on a Sunday it would sort of quiet I don't think Mexico City knows what quiet is. I see you're heading to an Island so many to choose from in the Carribean there are literally hundreds of Islands.

[@elpatronchuchin1504]

Saludos desde México

[@bradwelljackson6385]

Gabriel! You missed the museum of the great temple the first time?? Actually, I can't judge, since I just about did the same thing and had to look in my guidebook to find it ; ) Tell you what, any traveler with any sense of history must see that museum, since it houses the actual base of the original great temple in Tenochtitlan!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Sounds interesting, I'll keep it in mind.

[@thewanderer3341]

Interesting vid Gabe 😊👍🏻 I think you might be ultimately heading to the Caribbean from Miami but ....I might be wrong.... it’s close enough though ☀️🌴✌🏼

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

You got it. Just arrived. Videos coming soon, once I get around to it anyway.

[@guerocampo]

Right where you walking on at the zocalo, is were was one on greatest city's of the of Aztec Empire , the Mexica City of Tenochtitlan, founded on the Lake of Texcoco ,literally on the lake! then was invaded by the Spaniards and conquered and destroyed to build on top those edifications you see today ,

[@fe504]

Another nice video. Thanks

Some may think of the ultimate island paradise as Bora Bora, Maldives, Seychelles or some such. For me, Id go to Raja Ampat, West Papua or the Togean Islands, Sulawesi. But Id be shocked if any of these were yr next destination. Safe travels amigo! May the wind always be at yr back.....

[@globalisite]

I dont think yr going halfway around the world tho. Maybe yr flying to Panama City or David, Panama and going to Bocas Del Toro Archipelago or San Blas Islas, Panama?? Yr always good at cliffhangers. Safest guess is Ciudad de Mexico to LA to Hawaii

[@Missfortunerules]

ahhh you beat me, ok i'm second. Thanks Gabriel for another great video. Music was good.

That was a big plaza and wondering if you found out what the excavation was.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

It's called the Templo Mayor and it was the main temple of the ancient capital of Mexico. Amazing! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Templo_Mayor

[@782gear5]

In Mexico City, this is just from my experience. During the summer it’s very hot and humid. Winter it’s cold at night hot during the day. The rest of the year is also very humid.

[@bharatkhemchandani8223]

Is there Mexican railway services?

[@manichispanic5234]

For public use only the one in Chihuahua, northern Mexico. El Chepe, it travels through the copper canyon region, looks awesome. I think it's about 16 hours of scenery, a ticket is good for three days and you're allowed to get on and off the train at different depots. There's a tequila tour train, but I'm sure it's only like 3 hours tops.

[@manichispanic5234]

Mexico City has a Subway, that's really good.

[@libbyjones552]
