Mexico City
Mexico City is a huge city. In my opinion, it's too dirty, chaotic, and overcrowded, but nevertheless, of all the capitals and cities in Latin America, it's definitely one of the most interesting.
There's a beautiful preserved historic center here, and it's pleasant to wander around. However, if you venture far from the central area, the rougher neighborhoods begin, where you'll constantly run into prostitutes. That's probably the most powerful impression of Mexico City—prostitutes standing on corners as late as 9 a.m.
The stunningly beautiful post office building is a legacy of colonial times.
There are also many pompous pastry shops in the city where baked goods are sold.
It's unclear where Mexicans get their love for pastries, but judging by the dates on the stores, it's a long-standing habit.
The Zocalo is the largest square in Latin America and the third largest in size, after Moscow and Beijing.

I wanted to see a bullfight, but it turned out the season in Mexico City had ended three weeks ago. It's hard to find any clear information online, and the locals have no idea (!) about this entertainment. There was a bullfight in Guadalajara that same day, but it was a long drive.
So I still haven't quenched my thirst for blood 😉
There is even a special arena equipped for bullfighting in Mexico City:
I have no luck with timing.
I also wanted to go to a lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) match, but for some reason it wasn't on that day, even though it was scheduled. I stumbled upon the closed Arena Mexico and posters of upcoming fights.
Cinematheque.
It reminds me of Paris, only there are many more films in the local cinema.
I was very happy when I found a couple of box sets of Santo films inside.
One of the most beautiful and unusual libraries in the world is the Vasconcelos Library, designed by architect Alberto Kalach.
