Mexico City Hotels
Mexico CityThe Capital of Mexico, Mexico City is a city of nearly nine million people. It was founded in 1325 and because of this is extremely rich in history and culture. As the center of the ancient Aztec empire, it was built over a lake and this has contributed to stability problems, most notably the earthquake of 1980 that caused severe damage to the city. However, because of the earthquake, Mexico City has totally reinvented itself as a must-see tourist destination. From the simplest pleasure of taking a walk through one of the city’s numerous parks, or touring the historically rich museums, there is plenty to do when visiting Mexico City. If you are a major history buff you will certainly want to come to the Museo Nacional de Antropología. This huge museum is nearly 4,100 sq. meters and is considered to be one of the very best museums in the world. The ground floor is dedicated to the history of Mexico from pre-history to more modern times. The upper floor is the ethnographic area and is dedicated to showing the way that people throughout Mexico live today. You will also want to see the Catedral Metropolitana, the largest cathedral in the country. Finished in 1768, the Catedral Metropolitana has an impressive towering architecture and contains many impressive pieces of artwork. With dozens of places to see, prontohotel.com will be your guide to this ancient city.
