With its fascinating history, incomparable culinary landscape, and blossoming art scene, Mexico City has become one of the most sought-after destinations for the hip, curious traveler. Fodor’s brand-new guidebook, Inside Mexico City, touches on the top tourist sights, from the Zócalo to the Frida Kahlo Museum, but also delves into the under-the-radar places that only insiders from Mexico City know about.
