Parks & Nature
One of the biggest parks inside a city in the world. Mexico City can be hectic, however once inside the forest park it seems like you are oddly in a completely natural forest. Can barely hear the traffic outside!! Great for a run, if you run, and wonderful for laying around in the grass with a book.

Shopping
Almost every foreign person must go to La Ciudadela and the Mercado de Artesanias. They usually end up there anyway. Many hand made crafts, rings, pottery, souvenirs etc. Beside the market is the plaza where on Saturday's the old folks dance Danzon. Interesting and enjoyable to sit and watch or take part. You can have drinks and listen to music.
