Mexico City has a wide variety of communities and neighborhoods, each with unique attractions. There are sightseeing tours of typical neighborhoods like Coyoacán. One of the main and most beautiful avenues in town is Reforma, by which you can reach the Zona Rosa, a typical district or neighborhood. Zona Rosa has small antique shops and restaurants with mariachis (Mexican street bands), in which you can order wonderful Mexican dishes.
Reforma takes you to Avenida Juárez, where a beautiful building, Palacio de las Bellas Artes, presents concerts and ballets from worldwide companies. Continuing along, you arrive downtown at the Zocalo, full of antique colonial buildings like the post house and Edificio de Correos.
The anthropology museum is an enormous building containing many prehistoric statues and elements of Mexico's history from prehistoric times until the Spanish conquest and revolution. One-day tours to nearby cities are available. Destinations include Cuernavaca (the city of the eternal spring), a 45-minute drive to the south, and Teotihuacán, an anthropological site with ruins and a pyramid.
