MEXICO CITY

JULIE MEADE

Mexico City occupies a piece of land that seems destined for grandeur - photo 3

Mexico City occupies a piece of land that seems destined for grandeur. Blanketing a broad alpine valley, it was once Tenochtitlan, an island city that was the most populous in the Americasand by some estimates, the worldduring the 15th century. Razed during the Spanish conquest, Tenochtitlans ruins lie beneath the modern metropolis, which covers 1,480 square kilometers and has a population of over 21 million.

Amid the urban sprawl, there are lovely residential enclaves, architectural landmarks, and a multitude of cultural treasures, from dazzling pre-Columbian artifacts to artist Frida Kahlos childhood home. For those who love to eat, there is no better place to explore Mexicos varied palate. The citys famous food scene runs the gamut from relaxed street-side taco stands to elegant fine dining.

Mexico City defies expectations. Baroque palaces rise above streets noisy with traffic, old-fashioned coffee shops filled with seniors sipping caf con leche stand beside generic convenience stores, and contemporary art galleries adjoin hole-in-the-wall bakeries and auto repair shops. Many of the descriptors most closely associated with the capitalcrime, pollution, povertybelie a city that is beguilingly low-key and friendly, rarely gruff, and invariably worth the effort it takes to explore. In this and every way, Mexico City is a place you must experience to understand. Come expecting one city and youll likely find another. The contrasts, both jarring and delightful, define this mad metropolis, one of the most singular and marvelous places on earth.
