Mexico City is a city famous for its pollution and traffic, which shouldn’t scare off the thousands of tourists anymore. Furthermore, something needs to fuel all that creative spot.

The famous National Museum of Anthropology should not be missed, but it’s equally important to wander through the Zócalo, the city’s main square, formally known as the Plaza de la Constitución. One of the largest public squares in the world, the Zócalo is a time capsule of Mexican history. It is also recommended to throw yourself into the wonderful absurdity that is lucha libre. The city’s top lucha libre site is Arena México .Tickets start at 40 pesos, but spring for a ringside seat up to 210 pesos. Matches last about two hours, although an hour is more than enough time to get your fill. Taxis are rare in this area, so ask your hotel to arrange a pickup.

Condesa DF is one of the hotels, which is visited by celebrities, like the director Alejandro González Iñarritu and Bono of U2. Opened two years ago in a 1920s neo-Classical building, the boutique hotel has 40 rooms and a luxe-bohemian décor that suggests a cross between Mexico and Palm Springs. Doubles from $175.
