    Museums in CDMX close on Mondays for maintenance. The sidewalks are broken due to the roots of the trees so we prefer to have broken sidewalks than not to have that beautiful green color that surprises most foreigners.

    Dude you went to one of the biggest commercial centers of the city: downtown. It is always very crowded. You mixed up with the locals and dove straight into the vibe of the city, what a experience for a foreigner, you are brave man. Keep going

    Ola Dain... yes common sense and stay out of dodgy areas is my recommendation. I have traveled to Mexico several times and always felt safe ,just did not drink the local water just bottled. I would avoid public transport since it is so economical to get uber and plus you give an amiga a job. Take care stay safe use your sunscreen and time for a cuppa ☕p.s. Tulum is very nice , small and have mini ruins.

    They have lots of parks because of the smog. They are very environment friendly. You missed the archeological museum. Take some bus tours from Mexico City. They have them available from hotels downtown. The pryimids from Mexico City. Etc… I am lucky my cousin lives there so I stay with her. Locks and locks on doors. You have to remember that everywhere you go as a tourist there are pick pockets. Barcelona, New York, Brazil, etc.. so as long as you follow the recommended safety procedures you are ok.

    Due to the date you uploaded the video to the network, it is possible that your visit took place at the end of December and on the second or third day of January 2022. You should know that in Mexico there is an important date, in January... the day 06; because it is the date on which the kings of the east are supposed to have visited Jesus (also called the child god) in Jerusalem; therefore, the days before the 6th, but especially the 5th, is when many parents go through those streets looking to give their children a gift (it is said, the child god brings them). The celebration is similar to Christmas shopping in the US. And the flow of people is impressive, and more during the night of 05, and these purchases can last until 4 or 5 a.m. of January 06. All merchants want to sell and many parents want to buy.
    Por la fecha que subiste el video a la red, es posible que tu visita se haya realizado a fines de diciembre y el segundo o tercer día de enero 2022. Debes saber que en México existe una fecha importante, en enero... el día 06; porque es la fecha en que se supone que los reyes de oriente visitaron a Jesús (también llamado el niño dios) en Jerusalén; por lo tanto los días previos al 6, pero sobre todo el 5, es cuando muchos padres recorren esas calles buscando hacer el regalo a sus hijos (que se dice, los trae el niño dios). El festejo es similar a las compras de navidad en EEUU. Y el flujo de gente es impresionante, y más durante la noche del 05, y etas compras pueden durar hasta las 4 o 5 a.m. del 06 de enero. Todos los comerciantes quieren vender y muchos padres, comprar.
