I have visited Mexico City multiple times in the last five years (another Mexico City guide here). It’s an incredible city and probably the best in North America. At 8,000 feet of elevation, the summertime is technically the rainy season. But not like you see in Vietnam or Thailand. It basically just rains a little every day. Sometimes a lot. But not really so much that it ruins a trip. In fact, it was about 20° cooler than the insane humid summer we’re having in Michigan.

I’m going to recap the things I did and places I stayed in this city guide. I took two friends and both proclaimed it was one of their best trips yet…
