Tremendous Capital City Visitors quickly realize the rich history, culture, art, architecture, the beauty and complexity and the 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 in the Americas Nice vid!
@world_mem7567 We agree, Mexico City has so much to offer! We are absolutely loving our time here, and have been enjoying exploring the many different areas, and of course the fabulous food!!! Thank you for watching :)
We LOVE Mexico City, and are so glad that we decided to come here! You must be very proud of your City, and we hope you can return soon. Thank you for watching :)
As in Japan, in Mex City cables have to be hanging outside and not underground since in both countries earthquakes are a common thing, it is easier to repair or find the part damaged if visible. The sidewalks are torn coz of the tree roots, but many of these trees are over 200 years old, they are protected , cutting them is forbidden, but yes sidewalks could also be readapted to the countour of the trees.
We are really loving our time in Mexico City! Walking through the park and hearing the music and watching the dancers really puts a smile on our faces. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your video and for giving a good promotion to my city, even though I don’t live there your video brought good memories when I used to wander the streets of my city!!
You must be very proud to be from such a beautiful place as Mexico City! We love wandering the streets and exploring all the time, and of course, finding such wonderful food everywhere. Thank you for watching, and for your kind words, we really appreciate it :)
If I have to describe Mexico and, specifically, Mexico City, I would say VIVRANT... It could be noise, it could be chaotic but if feels alive 24/7... I remember visiting Mexico City since i was a kid with my familt and when i was young, I visited itwith a friend and we stayed in Centro Historico hotel, I remember my friend watching from our room windows down to the people walking on the streets at 3 am like it was daytime... year later I moved to live in the city for almost a decade and the city became my home and I walked and drove those streets everyday... after I moved to Canada (Ottawa) and I remember i decided to visit downtown at night during October around 6 pm.... woow, the streets were empty and the stores were closed... it was shocking for me... Canadians and Mexicans we have a very different lifestyles... being honest, I couldn't handle too much quiet atmosphere and years later I moved to Toronto that is in the middle of Mexico City and Ottawa atmosphere, but too bad it's becoming very dangerous...
We love to live in big cities that are busy and feel very alive! Mexico City is perfect for that, and yet even though it is a huge city, each neighbourhood feels quite different and walkable. We're loving our time here, and can't wait to do some more exploring...and eating amazing food lol. Thank you for watching, and for your comment, we really appreciate it :)
We are loving Mexico City, but unfortunately our Spanish really sucks lol. Mike has been using Duolingo and I have been watching some videos to learn...but it's slow going. The armored vehicle dealer is a storefront in the very high-end neighbourhood of Polanco...and you're right, it is kind of crazy haha. Thanks for watching :)
I’m glad you and your father enjoyed the city. There’s many more great cities built out entirely out of stone. Like Morelia, San Luis, Zacatecas, Oaxaca
Wow - I'm first to see your fab video. Great as always. BTW - it's 14 deg. C here - which will surely make your day. Nice to see you enjoy all that beautiful greenery and sunshine:) oops - error - meant say minus 4! 😸
Tbh, it does kind of warm our little hearts to hear that we're missing the cold weather lol. Sorry that you have to put up with it though. Thanks for watching...and being the first :)
Hi guys! I'm from Mexico City, where I've lived my entire life 🙋🏻♀️🇲🇽 Yeah, this City is amazing.. it's so huge that not even us know everything here and could get lost, too. Sometimes I feel as if I were a foreigner 😂 and ask other people about things or for directions. Welcome to Mexico, enjoy it, you'll love the whole country 🇲🇽😎 thanks for appreciating and respecting our culture. I've just subscribed to your channel 😀👍🏼
We appreciate your insights and we're excited to explore more of Mexico! That's interesting to hear that Mexico City is so huge that you can't possibly know all of it. We are loving our time here, and thank you for watching :)
Oh my, that's terrible! We always try to keep a close eye on where we're stepping, when out for a walk. Thank you for watching, and for your kind words, we really appreciate it :)
Hi there! Thank you for visiting us here in CDMX=Mexico City. FYI, we can not have real high skyscrapers because of the earthquakes but the pones de have in places like Ave. Reforma or Santa Fe are creative and gorgeous❤
Yes, we do love the look of the tall buildings on Reforma, and they are lighted so beautifully at night! Thanks for watching, and for the comment, we really appreciate it :)
It's looks beautiful, I love cities with lots of trees and plants! I've seen some cities in Peru and Chile that look like deserts and are not appealing at all!
Yes, all of the many trees and plants along the streets is absolutely beautiful! We love lots of plants. We haven't been to Peru or Chile yet, but maybe some day we will visit. Thank you for watching :)
Hi! Very interesting video. Don't be so hard on Canada not preserving its old arquitecture, Mexico has had a large history of buildings that were lost due to political and economic reasons. You have to consider this city was called "La ciudad de los palacios" (The city of palaces) back in the XVIII century because of the quality and number of buildings the capital of the spanish America had. By the XIX century all religious buildings were seized by the government as a result of the Reforma war, that pretended to lessen the power the catholic church. Quite a large amount of buildings during that time were lost. Those old buildings also represented the spanish opression and they became secularized and sold in lots. Most of what you see in very turistic areas as La Roma or La Juarez neighborhoods are XIX century, many built during the government of president / dictator Porfirio Diaz, who had a thing for anything French. All those buildings and older ones are protected now, but well into the first half of the XX century they were not and many were lost. Also the history of earthquakes in the city has also had its share in the lost of arquitecture. But still, right now art decó buildings are not protected and some jewels of the period are lost or modified in such a way they no longer show the carecteristics of the style. Regarding the cables in the streets, only downtown mex city doesn't have those ugly cables, they were buried years ago, pretty much by the incentive of mexico's richest man Carlos Slim and that was after downtown Mex city was considered human patrimony by the Unesco. You didn't see many skyscrapers because in Mexico city they are not only clustered in 1 hub. Seems you only were near the Reforma cluster of skyscrapers, but you missed the most modern one at Santa Fe. There is another cluster being currently made in the south of the city in insurgentes sur, where the Mitikah tower was built, the tallest right now with 267.3 meters high / 68 floors of mixed use: mall, offices and appartments. Here is not like Totonto were the cluster of all skyscrapers is in the same area, we have at least 3 clusters in the city.
Thanks for the historical context, very interesting! We appreciate your feedback and will keep this in mind for future videos. Also, thank you for watching :)
It's not surprising that there is European architecture here, but rather that so much of it is still surviving. Unfortunately in Toronto, we have lost so many of our older buildings to "development"! Not sure that glass and steel buildings will be something that we're proud of in the future though... We're thrilled to find such walkable and enjoyable streets here in Mexico City, and sorry that you misinterpreted our comment. Thanks for watching :)
Hello Enrique here from the Mayan Riviera, I lived in TO for about 13 years. There are a lot of skyscrapers in Mexico city but in the Santa Fe area and just a few in Reforma mostly cause the heart of downtown has a building regulation that prevents from really tall buildings around downtown also because of the swampy underground would not be a good idea. Cheers.
If you want to see skyscrapers go to Monterrey/San Pedro, N.L., you won't see them in Mexico City because of earthquakes and the ground subsidence, remember this city was built over water.
What are you taking about...cdmx has MORE high rises than Monterrey... the only exception is having 2 of the tallest buildings, but your comment doesn't make sense😂😎✌
Aww so cute, your views are a mix of: Wow Mexico is civilized... we didn´t realize this before coming, they have cars and parks, and buildings (even if not as tall as the ones in Toronto) and they even take care of their health.. who knew Mexicans were normal and all involved in crime or wearing sombreros... and the other which is ABSOLUTELY insulting is the : Mexico is so cheap... look only 24 us cents for public transport..... guys.. you do realize that for most Mexicans that is not CHEAP.. it's insulting. More perspective please not condescendence. We know how maginifical this city is... the fact that you have been lied to all your life does not justify two grown men exposing their lack of curiosity about the world. bye!
Mexican pal here! Don't mean to intercede for these guys but, truth is that the intended audience for this channel is basically middle class Canadians/US Citizens, so they basically don't care if we locals struggle to pay a subway ride. It's not personal, we humans are like that. When I went to India, I was also amazed of how CHEAP was everything in rupees compared to our peso. On the other hand, what you describe as their surprise at us being civilized is just a reflection of the bad fame Mexico has overseas with all this cartel and drug violence narrative selled by their local governments and media. It's like we us Mexicans believe there are school shootings every day in every county and every state of the USA. Last but not least, we both know the current subway fare in Mexico City is waaay to cheap. Not the cheapest (we still can see trolebuses for only $2 MXP), but way cheaper than the bus fares in the State of Mexico. More perspective, please, not condescendence.
In my opinion, you are misinterpreting the comments in the video and projecting your own insecurities and, maybe, other past experiences, about what other people may think of your city and country. I watched the video and then again after reading your comments and there was nothing to me that implied any of the things that you perceived. I live in Toronto, where half of the people in the city was born outside of Canada and are from all parts of the world, including Mexico. Many of those that were born in Canada are the children of those born outside of Canada. We have more awareness of the wider world than you imagine are not so ignorant as you may believe. A friend of my sister married a Mexican man and they both lived in Mexico City for a few years. They are currently living here in Toronto with their children. My sister visited them a few times when they lived in Mexico City. They both worked in Mexico City and they both work here now in Toronto. Canadians have to work hard to earn a living just like Mexicans. "Cheap" is just about the comparative exchange rate between currencies and that's reflected in the higher cost of living in Canada. The 24 cent USD ride on public transit in Mexico City is "cheap(er)" compared to the $2.28 USD fare for public transport in Toronto. Chapultepec Park is something for you to be very proud of. In large urban areas, especially of the size and population of Mexico City, there is much pressure to use land for purposes other than parks. Chapultepec Park is remarkable in its size for that reason. For a comparison, Chapultepec Park is four times larger than the largest park in Tokyo. That is the "surprise'" they are referring to....the size, not surprise that there are parks and civilization, etc. If they had really thought poorly of Mexico beforehand, they would not have chosen to visit Mexico.
@ximenaorozco8331 Thank you for watching. The reply to your comment from @pauly5418 is a much better response than I could make myself. We're sorry that you misinterpreted the video and didn't realize how much we are loving our time in Mexico City! Cheers :)
Nice video, yet don't use CHEAP, it's kinda insulting for us Mexicans, use Unexpensive instead. Wanna see lots and lots of skycrapers? Go to the Santa Fe Area.
Thank you for watching, and we'll take your recommendation on what words to use! We'll have to make a trip to the Santa Fe neighbourhood some time. Salud :)
Well, that would be great if there were no earthquakes anywhere, but unfortunately that's not the case. We are loving Mexico City and of course, the food here is amazing! Thanks for watching :)
I loved the content and the photography, but why are you speaking in this odd singsong lilt? It makes your narration sound very robotic and disingenuous.
Me encantan los choque culturales.. lol 😂 cuando yo visité Canadá Toronto me impresionó el nivel de indigentes y drogadictos que viven en las calles .. y estos se espantan de un coche blindado lol 😝
pagan impuestos al comprar cosas en nuestro pais y si le vas a reclamar a alguien reclamale al gobierno para que haga algo al respecto. ahuyentar a los turistas no es solucion y solo nos da un mal nombre. entiendo de lo que hablas pero reitero. tratar mal al turista no esta bien.
@giovannirmz9034 ok como respondes en español respondo igual mira no se cuántos años tengas Pero con debido respeto tu ignorancia parece de un adolescente claro que pagan impuestos , de hecho todos pagan hasta por un chicle, Pero no seas iluso aunque el gobierno no haga nada , hay que decírselos., por qué estos no todos, ya corren a la gente de las playas , de las ciudades con la gentrificacion, y aparte no se si hayas estado en usa o Canadá en esos países , paga un extranjero aparte de tu impuesto de chicles un 20 o 35% de puros impuestos , y si crees que exagero pregúntale a cualquier trabajador , y antes de que hables sin conocer , ya estás aquellos deportados que dicen que tienen derecho , que no los traten así, ¿ Derecho a que? Si muchisimos extranjeros entran y se quedan más de los 6 meses permitidos. Que de entrada es un montón si por entrar a us o can a veces solo te dan 1 mes cuando mucho estos que se creen? Si hay más gente así como tú que los defiende en todo muy pronto usa les va a picar la de 1848 consejo estudia la historia, saludos
The reason Mexico City has few skyscrapers is because it is a seismic area and there is no need for several super tall buildings although it is inevitable that the city continues to grow and more buildings will be built but they will be built with the latest in seismic proof engineering and architecture like many that already exist in the city.
México City has pockets of skyscrapers just like Reforma you have Polanco or Santa Fe districts. Plus cdmx is the oldest inhabited capital city in the continent which makes it more interesting. Toronto is great, but i wouldn't say is different than a lot of US metropolitan areas and it's cold.. not talking about the weather. Ha. Glad you enjoy cdmx. Saudos❤
We're so glad that we're here in Mexico City, and not back in Toronto! Mexico City is just wonderful to walk around and explore, not to mention the amazing food that can be found everywhere. Thank you for watching, and for your comment, we really appreciate it :)

Hola Amigos!!!
Excelente video,gracias por compartilo ❤🤝Mexico tiene mucho por mostrar al Mundo. Es muy bello este pais.
Yes you are absolutely right, Mexico is amazingly beautiful! Thank you for watching :)
Great video. I do have one suggestion, instead of using the word “cheap” how about saying affordable?
Thanks for watching, and for the suggestion! We'll keep that in mind :)
As in Japan, in Mex City cables have to be hanging outside and not underground since in both countries earthquakes are a common thing, it is easier to repair or find the part damaged if visible. The sidewalks are torn coz of the tree roots, but many of these trees are over 200 years old, they are protected , cutting them is forbidden, but yes sidewalks could also be readapted to the countour of the trees.
Thank you for the information, and also for watching, we really appreciate it :)
Great video , makes me want to go back to Mexico City . Love the dancing lessons in the park !
We are really loving our time in Mexico City! Walking through the park and hearing the music and watching the dancers really puts a smile on our faces. Thanks for watching :)

Im amazed when people come here and are surprised by the European architecture. I wonder what could have happened in the past to cause that lmao 😂

It's not personal, we humans are like that. When I went to India, I was also amazed of how CHEAP was everything in rupees compared to our peso. On the other hand, what you describe as their surprise at us being civilized is just a reflection of the bad fame Mexico has overseas with all this cartel and drug violence narrative selled by their local governments and media. It's like we us Mexicans believe there are school shootings every day in every county and every state of the USA. Last but not least, we both know the current subway fare in Mexico City is waaay to cheap. Not the cheapest (we still can see trolebuses for only $2 MXP), but way cheaper than the bus fares in the State of Mexico. More perspective, please, not condescendence.
@@PipoGirlTvMexican here too. I couldn't agree more with your comment. Considering that I live in the UK, the transportation in Mexico is cheap!!
In my opinion, you are misinterpreting the comments in the video and projecting your own insecurities and, maybe, other past experiences, about what other people may think of your city and country. I watched the video and then again after reading your comments and there was nothing to me that implied any of the things that you perceived.
I live in Toronto, where half of the people in the city was born outside of Canada and are from all parts of the world, including Mexico. Many of those that were born in Canada are the children of those born outside of Canada. We have more awareness of the wider world than you imagine are not so ignorant as you may believe. A friend of my sister married a Mexican man and they both lived in Mexico City for a few years. They are currently living here in Toronto with their children. My sister visited them a few times when they lived in Mexico City. They both worked in Mexico City and they both work here now in Toronto. Canadians have to work hard to earn a living just like Mexicans.
"Cheap" is just about the comparative exchange rate between currencies and that's reflected in the higher cost of living in Canada. The 24 cent USD ride on public transit in Mexico City is "cheap(er)" compared to the $2.28 USD fare for public transport in Toronto. Chapultepec Park is something for you to be very proud of. In large urban areas, especially of the size and population of Mexico City, there is much pressure to use land for purposes other than parks. Chapultepec Park is remarkable in its size for that reason. For a comparison, Chapultepec Park is four times larger than the largest park in Tokyo. That is the "surprise'" they are referring to....the size, not surprise that there are parks and civilization, etc.
If they had really thought poorly of Mexico beforehand, they would not have chosen to visit Mexico.
👏🏽🔥 @@pauly5418 buen intercambio de experiencias en dos ciudades distintas , ahora sabemos cómo es en países distintos .
@ximenaorozco8331 Thank you for watching. The reply to your comment from @pauly5418 is a much better response than I could make myself. We're sorry that you misinterpreted the video and didn't realize how much we are loving our time in Mexico City! Cheers :)
Nice video, yet don't use CHEAP, it's kinda insulting for us Mexicans, use Unexpensive instead. Wanna see lots and lots of skycrapers? Go to the Santa Fe Area.
Thank you for watching, and we'll take your recommendation on what words to use! We'll have to make a trip to the Santa Fe neighbourhood some time. Salud :)
Such a shame we have earthquakes 🤦🏼♀️ Everything would be perfect without them 🤷🏼♀️
Well, that would be great if there were no earthquakes anywhere, but unfortunately that's not the case. We are loving Mexico City and of course, the food here is amazing! Thanks for watching :)
I loved the content and the photography, but why are you speaking in this odd singsong lilt? It makes your narration sound very robotic and disingenuous.
Thanks for watching.
El doblaje del video es pésimo, ¿avenita? para avenida.
Sorry about any dubbing issues, but that is done automatically by RUclips! Thank you for watching :)
Me encantan los choque culturales.. lol 😂 cuando yo visité Canadá Toronto me impresionó el nivel de indigentes y drogadictos que viven en las calles .. y estos se espantan de un coche blindado lol 😝
Prefiero los indigentes/drogadictos a tener que necesitar un coche blindado.
Thanks for watching.
@V.E.R.O. thank you for watching lol :)
You do pay taxes? but must pay for it living here, is the correct, is enought, foreigners should be do it, like us or can, cheers
pagan impuestos al comprar cosas en nuestro pais y si le vas a reclamar a alguien reclamale al gobierno para que haga algo al respecto. ahuyentar a los turistas no es solucion y solo nos da un mal nombre. entiendo de lo que hablas pero reitero. tratar mal al turista no esta bien.
@giovannirmz9034 ok como respondes en español respondo igual mira no se cuántos años tengas Pero con debido respeto tu ignorancia parece de un adolescente claro que pagan impuestos , de hecho todos pagan hasta por un chicle, Pero no seas iluso aunque el gobierno no haga nada , hay que decírselos., por qué estos no todos, ya corren a la gente de las playas , de las ciudades con la gentrificacion, y aparte no se si hayas estado en usa o Canadá en esos países , paga un extranjero aparte de tu impuesto de chicles un 20 o 35% de puros impuestos , y si crees que exagero pregúntale a cualquier trabajador , y antes de que hables sin conocer , ya estás aquellos deportados que dicen que tienen derecho , que no los traten así, ¿ Derecho a que? Si muchisimos extranjeros entran y se quedan más de los 6 meses permitidos. Que de entrada es un montón si por entrar a us o can a veces solo te dan 1 mes cuando mucho estos que se creen? Si hay más gente así como tú que los defiende en todo muy pronto usa les va a picar la de 1848 consejo estudia la historia, saludos
@tomasserrano3712 Thanks for watching.
@giovannirmz9034 Thank you for your comment, and thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)
Canada no bueno
Thanks for watching.
No entendí nada😂
Well, thanks for watching :)
Nooo, dejen de hacer estos videos solo siguen subiéndose al mame de México City
Thanks for watching!
why do both of you speak like robots?
Thanks for watching.
Ya no vengan a vivir aquí
Thanks for watching.
The reason Mexico City has few skyscrapers is because it is a seismic area and there is no need for several super tall buildings although it is inevitable that the city continues to grow and more buildings will be built but they will be built with the latest in seismic proof engineering and architecture like many that already exist in the city.
Thank you for the information, and for watching, we really appreciate it :)
México City has pockets of skyscrapers just like Reforma you have Polanco or Santa Fe districts. Plus cdmx is the oldest inhabited capital city in the continent which makes it more interesting. Toronto is great, but i wouldn't say is different than a lot of US metropolitan areas and it's cold.. not talking about the weather. Ha. Glad you enjoy cdmx. Saudos❤
We're so glad that we're here in Mexico City, and not back in Toronto! Mexico City is just wonderful to walk around and explore, not to mention the amazing food that can be found everywhere. Thank you for watching, and for your comment, we really appreciate it :)
NO A LA GENTRIFICACION!¡
reclamar al gobierno que haga algo.
Thanks for watching.
@giovannirmz9034 So true! Thank you for watching :)
