Top Architecture in Mexico City

If you can, plan your visit during the weekdays. I went on a Saturday and it was super packed, making it hard to appreciate the architecture. Weekdays are generally more peaceful.

Look out for street performers while you're there. They can really add to the experience, but be sure to keep some small change on hand if you want to show your appreciation.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. You’ll be walking a lot! The grounds are huge, and you’ll want to enjoy every corner without your feet hurting.

Don’t miss out on the market nearby! They have awesome local snacks that are super cheap and so delicious. Way better than overpriced stalls inside.

I suggest getting there around 7 AM if you want to beat the crowds. Trust me, the early bird gets the best views without all the fuss!

If you can, avoid Fridays and Saturdays. It gets super crowded—way too many tourists. Weekdays are much more chill!

I recommend hitting up Garibaldi Square in the early evening, like around 6 PM, to catch the mariachi bands without the big tourist crowds. It really gives you that authentic vibe.

If you're into street food, save some cash and try the tacos from the stands nearby. They’re delish and way cheaper than the restaurants around.

I suggest bringing a portable charger. You’re gonna wanna snap tons of pics, and my phone died halfway through because there's so much to see!

I recommend checking out the little cafes nearby before entering. They have great coffee and pastries which you can enjoy while you wait for your scheduled visit.

I think it’s better to visit on a weekday morning around 10 AM to avoid crowds. I went on a Saturday and it was packed, which kinda ruined the vibe for me.

If you're planning on taking photos, I found the best lighting around 3 PM. The sunlight hitting the architecture is gorgeous at that hour!

My advice is to take a guided tour if you can; the history behind the architecture is super fascinating! I did it and learned so much more than I expected.
