Before relocating to London, I was born and raised in Mexico City. I lived in the borough of “Benito Juárez”, a few blocks away from “Insurgentes”. Pretty much in the heart of it all, as you may see.
I love the City. Follow my favourite route starting in “Zócalo”, go East to “Avenida 5 de mayo”, and walk across “Alameda Central” down “Avenida Juárez”. When you get to “Avenida Paseo De la Reforma”, go to the southeast and see all the roundabouts —including “El Ángel De la Independencia”— all the way down to “Bosque De Chapultepec”. Explore the park and then continue to the east down “Avenida Paseo De la Reforma” until “Calle Julio Verne”. Go north to “Parque Lincoln” to “Avenida Presidente Masaryk”, and make a turn to the east until “Avenida Molière”. Head north up “Avenida Molière”. Once you get to “Boulevard Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra”, go east again until you reach the “Museo Soumaya”.
This little tour will allow you to see 90% of the best in Mexico City and could take anywhere from a couple days to a week, depending on the museums and restaurants you visit along the way.
Everything in this video is accurate, except for the pronunciation of some words. I’m no linguist, but below is how I pronounce “Náhuatl”, including IPA symbols, and then some corrections of three names in Spanish.
Thumbs up overall!
Náhuatl → NA-hua-tl → [ˈnaː.watɬ]
• Avenida Paseo De la Reforma
• Plaza De la Constitución
• Villa de Guadalupe
Lol 140 THOUSAND miles of track in the metro??? I think you might be off by a factor of about a thousand.
One of the few countries where their foods are so good, it rivals those in ASEAN. I miss CDMX and hope I can visit it some time again soon.
Me quedé un mes en la colonia napoles y hay tanto puestos callejeros que venden los tacos buenisimos <3333
I took some vacations in february and I spent a week in Mexico City and was amazed at both how diverse, beautiful and interesting it as but also at how little did I get to see, you could spend a lifetime and it would never cease to amaze you
thanks for this video! An American in CDMX
Hey! Nice video! Welcome to the Capital. Your animations and presentation style are absolutely beautiful. I just have a couple of pointers.
1. Your video implies that the lakes were mostly drained during the colonial period (1521-1821). This isn't the case. Up until the start of the Revolution (1910) the lakes were still a formidable part of the city. By the end of the Vietnam War though (1975), the city was more concrete than water or empty land. What truly killed the lakes were the glorious post-war years (1950-1970) with their oil-based economic booms and the wonderful, wonderful appeal of consumerism and American-style urbanism (priority to highways and cars to the detriment of pedestrian and aquatic traffic.)
2. You pronunciation was fantastic in some words (both Spanish and Nahuatl), but in others it seemed you were saying the words aloud for the first time. A quick and dirty trick that almost always works (especially for place names) in Nahuatl is that the second to last syllable bears the stress. So Te-noch-TI-tlan. Tla-CO-pan. Iz-ta-pa-LA-pan. Spa-GHE-tti and La-SA-gna ;D
Now that i see this history
Im actually quite dissapointed that Tenochtitlan isn’t there anymore and that the spanyard drained all the water and build churches.
Bruh they have so much history and such cool geography it would be a massive tourist attraction or maybe even a world wonder like Machu Pichu or Chichen Itza.
Such a pity that its all lost.
Btw same here in Rotterdam Netherland the most modern city here.
Before it was bombed in WW2 it was a same style city like Amsterd, Alkmaar, Delft and Utrecht.
It was so beautifull
Really nice presentation, I knew that the city is spectacular, but never really took a deep dive into it's history. Now I kind of want to go see everything in person!
How does video not have millions of views. It’s awesome youtube.
Vaya vaya… Qué buena producción, todo en general muchísimo cubriste en 14 minutos. Ésta ciudad es un organismo vivo que vive y gruñe y sonríe y disfruta desde antes de que México fuera México… Los Chilangos tenemos el privilegio de heredar esa tradición, esa vibra, el de llamar a la Ciudad de México nuestra cuna, casa, y campo de juego…
There are neither miles nor feet in Mexico! Don't insult the mexicans, don't insult us, respect your audience! The world doesn't give a rat's ass to the miles!
If you have a U.S Passport and have not been to CDMX you are a missing out on a very unique place in our hemisphere, it’s worth going to just simply eat food it’s that good, you could go just to eat. How many places could you say that about.
Definitely one of the best intro videos of the city, the historic through-line makes it particularly informative.
