In the heart of Mexico City lie the remains of the Aztecs' central temple, which is also very very impressive. 2 - Mexican churches. I did not come to Mexico looking for churches, but I was surprised and pleased to find that the places of worship in Mexico City are as impressive as anything in Europe. 3 - Art. I became a huge fan of the muralist Diego Rivera and his lover and fellow-artist Frida Kahlo.
Murals are everywhere in Mexico City, always colourful.
Rivera was a revolutionary socialist and keen observer of social conditions, and this is often reflected in the murals. Kahlo's art tends to be more surreal and personal. The stormy relationship of the obese Rivera and diminutive Kahlo is a fascinating story in itself - Rivera compared it to a 'love affair between an elephant and a dove'. 4 - Food. If you do buy a meal from a street stall, I'd advise using one which has a lot of customers, as these are probably the safest from the point of view of food preparation.
