Avenida de Amsterdam, the most gorgeous boulevard in Mexico City $125. US Dollars per person This wide, shady avenue features art nouveau mansions and art deco apartment buildings in a historic neighborhood that evolved in the 1920's around a now defunct oval race track built in the 1890's. The center of the oval became the popular Parque Mexico, surrounded by Avenida Mexico. And around that runs Avenida Amsterdam. Locals walk their dogs down the broad sidewalk in the middle of the boulevard and shoppers browse the many chic boutiques. Stylish sidewalk cafes, trendy bistros, and casual taquerias dot the area. |
Venturing out on your own, art galleries in Mexico City may be:
Hard to find; Closed because they are setting up for a new exhibition; Open but you have to ring an obscure doorbell to be let in: Open but they had already taken down an exhibition that was not yet scheduled to be taken down.
Having a guide who has visited these galleries many times makes for a much easier time of it.
