This place is the heart of Mexico City. This is where you want to start from. So many things to see and do and lots of picture taking opportunities. Lots of security as well I never felt in danger.

Justin Bieber came when we were visiting, it was packed! We did go, but just for a little bit of time and we were really far away. The next day it... More
