Alameda Central [Historic District] : Mexico City
Alameda Central is a downtown oasis of greenery, fountains and statuary. The imposing Palacio de Bellas Artes, a performing arts venue and a must-see for its art-deco interior, is next to the park. In the part of the Centro Historico between Alameda Central and the Zocalo are several impressive buildings and museums, including the Palacio de Iturbide (an Italian baroque palace), Casa de Azulejos (the House of Tiles), the Correo Central (the lovely main post office), the Museo Nacional de Arte (a grand building with Mexican art exhibits) and Museo de Franz Mayer (religious art and European antiques).
Modern skyscrapers and hotels flank the stately Paseo de la Reforma, which takes you from the Historic Center to Chapultepec Park. It’s nice to take an afternoon stroll along the tree-lined boulevard, looking at its various monuments, especially the famous Angel column. Along the way is La Zona Rosa, a popular neighborhood for shopping, dining and nightlife. Chapultepec Park is not only the city’s largest park; it’s also home to many fine museums, such as the world-renowned Museo Nacional de Antropologia (Museum of Anthropology).
Two southern suburbs, Coyoacan and San Angel, are worth visiting for their markets, museums and general colonial charm. The Pyramids of Teotihuacan, north of the city, make for a fascinating day trip, and the famous floating gardens at Xochimilco are a pleasant excursion. Xochimilco is also home to the Dolores Olmedo Patino Museum, which displays some of the best-known works of artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.

Arbol de la Noche Triste: Mexico City
The tree under which Hernán Cortés cried after suffering severe losses in a battle against the Aztecs in 1520. Under cover of darkness and rainfall, the Spanish army, along with its indigenous allies, began to retreat towards Tlacopan (Tacuba). However, they were spotted fleeing by the Aztec sentries positioned on the heights of Teocalli, who raised the battle cry on their shell horns. The pathway over the lake towards Tlacopan was cut in various sections and too narrow to permit a quick flight. Furthermore, the burdensome supplies carried by the Iberians made passage over the muddy ground even more difficult. As a result, the Aztecs, who attack from the lake itself in thousands of small boats, were able to take a heavy toll on the invading army. When Cortés saw the price he had paid to abandon Tenochtitlán, he wept bitterly under a tree, now known as de la Noche Triste, or the Tree of the Sad Night. And if what they say is true, this is the same ahuehuete (a large, burly tree with course dark bark) whose dried trunk is preserved in a small garden in the Colonia Popotla neighborhood.
