Mexico City’s high-altitude can be disconcerting. Steady yourself with a few sips of tequila at one of the stately old cantinas set just off the Zócalo — the city’s main square — or start slowly with an amble around the city’s distinctive neighbourhoods. Admire Diego Rivera's magnificent 'Epic of the Mexican People’ at the National Palace, delve into Frida Kahlo’s private world at the Blue House near the Craft Market in Plaza San Jacinto, or catch the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico performing at the stunning Palacio de Bellas Artes. Step far further into the past at the expertly excavated Aztec-era Templo Mayor, or through a visit to the ancient forests and the world-renowned National Anthropological Museum in Bosque de Chapultepec Park.
