Incredible palatial building built by Porfirio Díaz. The history behind it is pretty interesting, I would recommend learning about Díaz and decide for yourself if he was good or bad for Mexico. Also, if you get a chance to see a show here, you can see the Tiffany Co Curtain, which is just as crazy as it sounds

Italian Restaurant with a pretty solid food offering. We were here during NYE so the menu was prix fixe, so I can't speak about standard offerings. The food we had was great tho - I'd say a mix between really good and decent dishes. The highlight was a carpaccio, it was incredible in every way.

This walking and bike path was lined with beautiful flowers for the Navidad. It's a great place to walk, as the sidewalks on either side of the street are pretty warn down. At any point you can peel off into the Bosque Chapultepec or north to Polanco.

— Bryce

There's some cool history to this place. Beautiful building, great for a walk - I didn't care so much for the collection of rooms on display, but you can still read a lot about the castle and enjoy the sights. Be prepared for crowds.

These acrobatic flyers put on a show at some cadence, not really sure what it is. Maybe once an hour or so. It takes them about 10 minutes to actually start once the begin climbing, so save your neck and wait for the fifth guy to climb as your signal. Really cool and very mesmerizing

I have some family friends that got married in this church! It's beautiful inside. Also if you want to know some interesting history, San Charbel is a saint from Lebanon that has become an inspired figure in Mexican catholicism.

Drink where the locals drink - tiny café with people spilling out onto the sidewalk for their morning brew. They bring you the coffee on a small tray which I thought was a nice touch.

The national palace became the presidential residence in 2018. It is massive. Incredible building that runs the whole length of the Plaza de Constitución. The cathedral has its own insane history - because of how the plaza is sinking, the cathedral has a definite lean on one side. To top it all off, everything is built on top of ancient Aztec ruins!

— Bryce

This is a massive public square that displays some of the epic architecture in the Centro Histórico. We were here during the Navidad Holiday and they were preparing for the New Year Festival in the square.

Good to know

Mexico City spots, the quick version.

How many spots does Photerra have in Mexico City?

154 and counting — each one a real photo pinned to the exact coordinate it was taken. New spots appear as travelers share them.

Are these Mexico City spots on Google Maps?

Many aren't. Photerra's spots are photo-coordinates — viewpoints, benches, trailheads and corners with no business listing or address — so they don't show up on maps built from business directories.

How do I get to a spot with no address?

Open any spot in the Photerra app and tap once to launch Apple Maps, Google Maps, Uber or Lyft — we hand them the exact coordinates even when the place has no name.
