About Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the largest cities on earth — 21 million people, 300+ neighborhoods, and a food scene that rivals any city in the world. The problem isn't finding things to do — it's knowing where to start. Condesa and Roma Norte are beautiful but increasingly touristy. The real CDMX is in Coyoacán's markets, Xochimilco's canals on a Sunday afternoon, and the street taco stands in neighborhoods tourists never visit. A Local Friend in Mexico City cuts through the overwhelm and takes you straight to the experiences that matter — the mezcalería with no sign, the taquería with a 30-person line at midnight, the museum with free entry on Sundays.
