Description

'Lonely Planet guidebooks are, quite simply, like no others.' - New York Times

With Lonely Planet’s Mexico City guide on your iPhone, you’ll more than cope with this chaotic, carnivalesque capital. Over 2000 metres above sea level, home to 20 million souls, and famous for its markets, nightlife and traffic, ‘Chilangolandia’ is a serious assault on the senses. Our authors hit the streets for 63 days straight, searching out essential experiences, the best places to eat and drink (on any budget), and the inside stories that let you savour local life.

So what do you do once you’ve criss-crossed the World Heritage-listed Zócalo, gaped at the Templo Mayor and Catedral Metropolitana (the largest and oldest cathedral in Latin America) and photographed all 1200 feet of Diego Riviera’s mural on the Palacio Nacional? Why not pull out your iPhone, find the nearest lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) venue and dial up the best place to grab some tacos al pastor? Or filter through hundreds of bars and hotels to bed down the rest of your night? Or take one of 12 walking tours through the city’s diverse neighbourhoods? Or an excursion to Teotihuacán (or another of the ancient sites that ring the area)? Whatever you choose, you can forget roaming connection costs: our Cityguides all work as stand-alone apps. Fantástico!
