My wife and I were watching a youtube channel and they spent a week in Mexico City. Even though they didn’t cover all the things to do there, it looked like a very interesting place.
Anyone ever been? Would you recommend it?
I haven’t been but my neighbor, a retired teacher in his 60s, went two years ago for a week and loved it so much he went back again this year.
Amazing city. Been lots of times. Highly recommend it. So much to see depending on what you are into. Food obviously is awesome. Real Mexican and not Tex-Mex 
Usually stay in Polanco or Condesa. Upscale parts of the city and reasonable prices. You can also travel out of the city to the pyramids etc. The old city is a bit full on and a bit of a tourist trap but good to see.
How do you get around? Hire car, bus, taxi, … ?
For around the city we used Uber and got a driver to go to the pyramids outside of the city for the day. Very reasonable prices. I think everyone goes to the Frida Kahlo museum also which was a bus from Chapultepec (when staying in Polanco).

I’ve been there several times, usually just traveling through but once I stayed for four days. I got around by bus and subway; it was very easy and inexpensive. I stayed in a cheap hotel just off the Zocalo.
One of the main reasons I wanted to visit the city was that in previous trips to Mexico I’d developed an interest in Mesoamerican cultures, and wanted to go to the National Anthropological Museum (National Museum of Anthropology (Mexico) - Wikipedia). I spent a full day there and could have easily returned for more.
Also, the ancient city of Teotihuacan is a bit outside the city, but well worth a full-day visit.
It’s a truly fascinating place.
The experience of being utterly lost an infinite stream of people and street life…

My niece and her husband as well as a good friend of ours and his husband have both said it is there favorite place they have visited.
I had never really thought about going there before talking to them. But it is now on the list.
It is definitely on my list of places to visit.
Yeah, but everywhere is on your list.

At the top of my list is the Yukon and Alaska. As soon as the brakes on our RV have been fixed we will head north.
You should have asked Windy how to fix him. He’s quite the handyman.

Why bother? Brakes just slow you down.
