LETTER TO A CANADIAN

Dear Canadian friend,

I hope you are enjoying your visit to Mexico. The main objective of this letter is to help you and give you some advice about the places that you should visit here at Mexico City.
First of all, if you are interested in our culture, history and traditions, you should visit the downtown, we call it Centro Histórico, and there you’ll find El Zócalo, La Catedral, Palacio Nacional, El Templo Mayor, these places are very important if you want to understand a bit more of our prehispanic origins and our colonial past, and also about our present. I recommend you to see the buildings, pay attention to the people, the streets, I think you would enjoy it.

On the other hand, if you are looking forward to having fun and know about our night life, there are many places where you can go. You should go to Insurgentes, in this huge avenue you’ll be able to find restaurants, bars, discos, theatres.

As other cities in the world, we have some problems, you have to be very careful, avoid dangerous places, try to be with your group all the time when you are outside and remember don’t speak with strangers.

I will be very happy to help you with anything I can.
Take care,
Claudia
