What's up amigos it's Jon and after spending five weeks living in Mexico City I'm going to be telling you ten fun things
You can when you visit.
I'm going to miss Mexico City a lot. I didn't think it was possible to have that much fun in a little bit over a month.
Unfortuanetly I had to come home early due to a medical problem.
But i'm going to be linking to my Mexico City Playlist in both the description
and in a card right now above my head.
Do check out that playlist after you're done watching this video.
We're going to lead this list off with something really strange.
Have a cocktail with Tarantula venom in it.
That's right you are not reading this incorrectly.
You can actually have a drink in Mexico City with tarantula venom as the secret ingredient.
This was the most popular thing I did in my original Mexico City vlog.
And you have to go to a place called Luciferina in Barrio Juarez.
To actually find it.
I'm warning you though, your gums are going to go numb.
Tongue, gums feel a little bit numb right now.
Number nine, head to parque mexico.
Now this is located in the Condesa neighborhood
Which I think is worth visiting or even staying at when you go to Mexico City.
But make sure you check out some of their parks.
Which include Parque Mexico.Their is always something going on there.
From flying drones, to hula hoops.
To people performing.
Find a place to escape
The urban jungle.
And even admire some of the street art.
Yeah that's on a bathroom.
Next up go to the mexico city metropolitan cathedral rooftop.
And while i'm not normally somebody who enjoys going to a church or cathedral.
For about One U.S. dollar you can take a walking tour upstairs.
And get some incredible views of the city that most people
Would have no idea existed.
I found this out during my vlog with a local instagrammer.
Number seven wander around Roma Norte.
This was actually the neighborhood that we lived in.
And it was by far my favorite.
From the cafes, to the restaurants.
To all of the street art everywhere.
It reminded me of the east village in New York.
There's also a lot of art galleries and little fairs constantly going on.
So this would be my top recommendation of where to stay if you do visit Mexico City.
Number six, take photos inside the palacio de correos de Mexico.
Now as somebody who's always having mail disappear.
I would never recommend you visit a post office.
Unless it was this one.
The same architect who designed Palacio Bellas Artes
Did this as well.
It's still a functioning post office.
But the archtiecture on the inside is absolutely stunning.
Don't forget your camera when you head inside.
Visit Chapultepec Castle.
But how could their be a castle in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the world?
Well you've got to see it to believe it.
Not only did a Mexican emperor live there.
But it's also home to the National Museum of History.
Which would be worth a visit by itself.
If it wasn't housed in this gorgeous palace.
Give yourself at least a few hours to explore every inch of this place.
Number four attend a lucha libre event.
Lucha Libre is a must do when you visit Mexico City.
Forget American Wrestling.
This is part sporting event, part acrobatic show.
And tickets can be purchased for five dollars or less.
The atmosphere is extremely festive.
And did I mention you can get cool masks like this for less than 10 dollars.
Moving on number three, go to a show at Palacio Bellas Artes.
Not only is this theater incredible to take photos of.
From just about every angle.
But attending a show here is an amazing experience.
We saw ballet folklorico for only ten dollars.
We sat in the mezzanine. The inside of the theater is gorgeous.
I wish I had some video footage of this.
And i'm going to recommend checking out ballet folklorico
If it's still going on.
As you get a real taste of the entire country of Mexico
From the different styles of dance.
Number two head to the Coyoacan Neighborhood.
A neighborhood so cool it took me an entire vlog to get the pronunciation right.
Called Coyoacan.
Coyoacan. Coyoacan?
Coyoacan.
Coyoacan I finally got the proncunciation correct.
This colonial area surrounded by Mexico City
Has the Frida Kahlo as well as Trotsky museum.
In addition to a huge market filled with all types of food.
Not to mention some of the best coffee i had in Mexico at Cafe El Jarocho.
Take an entire afternoon to soak this place up.
Number one visit the Museo Del Juguete Antiguo Mexico.
Or Antique Toy Museum.
We dedicated a lot of my Mexico City is Weird vlog to this place.
And it may be one of the best museums i've ever visited period.
This place is a treasure chest of unique.
From old toys to antiques.
Games and a secret rooftop
That has hidden street art.
I could have spent an entire day just wandering around.
Make sure to visit the gift shop at the end
If you want to buy some stuff that you absolutely can not find anywhere else.
And the best part, the cost of admission is less than three dollars.
There you have it, ten fun things to do on your next trip to Mexico City.
I covered almost all of them in my Mexico Playlist.
Which i'm going to be linking to down below.
Honestly Mexico City has got to be one of the most underated places I have ever visited.
I can not recommend you going there enough.
