For some, Mexico City is nothing more than a stopping off point
en route to other places within Mexico - but in many ways it encapusulates
all that is Mexico, and as such makes for a fascinating introduction
to this lively Central American country. It's without doubt a city
of contrasts and emotions: smog-filled streets give way to tranquil
green parks, high-rise offices tower over colonial palaces, poor
slums sprawl towards ancient ruins and beggars cross your path to
world-class museums. Yet despite the city's enormity its centre
is quite compact, so you can take much of it in by foot - taking
deserved breaks for a delicious freshly squeezed juice or ice-cold
marguerita - or jump in one of the ubiquitous green and white VW
Beetle taxis and really do it in style.
