Mexico City information

SHOPPING IN MEXICO CITY
Leaving Mexico City without buying anything would be unthinkable. Shops not only dot malls and markets but pop-up in subway stops and in parks. Metro (subway) shown at left. The array of items for sale is awesome.
From a cheap souvenir to take back to Aunt Mildred to a fine work of art, you'll find it in Mexicy City. Look for obsidian; carved wooden chests; shoes made of sharkskin (I still have a pair I bought in Mexico City ten years ago and they still look great); fine table linens; glassware; embroidery.
Mexico City's major shopping areas include the Zona Rosa (see photo below) and off Paseo de la Reforma. The streets are Hamburgo, Niza, Londres, and Amberes.
Between the Zocalo and Avenida Lazaro Cardenas every other side street is closed to traffic and paved with tiles.

There are ten metro (subway) lines serving the city to get from one shopping area to another. On Saturdays the metro is open until 1:30AM but closes shortly after midnight on other days.
Take the metro to Allende on LINE 2 for the popular Thieves Market; a flea market open only on Sundays. You can find coins; silver; antinques; rare books.

ZONA ROSA MEXICO CITY
Elegance is everywhere in the Zona Rosa.
Shown on the right is an example of the Zona Rosa. The most popular discos and dance clubs as well as the city's best retaurants are found in this district.
Elegance in the Pink Zone (Zona Rosa) echoes of Europe past.
No one knows how this area got its name . If you have any ideas on the subject let us know.

Home of swank boutiques, gourmet restaurants in 24 square blocks.
Some of the shops include Appel; Aries; Cartier; Gucci; Bustamente.
Bars include La Mancha; La Cucaracha; Jorongo Bar.
Numerous outdoor cafes for great people watching. Niza is the main street of the Zona Rosa. Turn off Niza into some of the little side-streets and you're in Greenwich Village Mexico City style.
