Learn Spanish in one of the biggest cities in the world! Mexico City is located in the center of the country and “la DF” – as the capital is commonly known amongst the Mexicans – has a lot to offer. It is a modern, cosmopolitan city situated in an old lake basin that is surrounded by volcanic mountains. The original Aztec city was established on March 18th 1325 as Tenochtitlan, and immediately became the center of a growing Empire. After centuries of pre-Columbian civilization, Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes first arrived in the area in 1519. He did not succeed in conquering the city until August 1521, after a 79 day siege that destroyed most of the old Aztec city. In 1525 the rebuilt city served as the capital of the viceroyalty of New Spain and the political and cultural center of Mexico. This colonial period culminated with the construction of the baroque Metropolitan Cathedral and the Basilica of Guadalupe.

The different cultures that inhabited the city during the course of the centuries left an interesting architectural legacy that comprises many different styles. The city has a touch of modernism with its huge skyscrapers, like the Torre Mayor and Torre Latinoamericana and on the other side, the historical center and the water gardens in the suburb Xochimilco belong to the world culture heritage of UNESCO.

The main attractions offered by Mexico City, are the Palace of Bellas Artes, a beautiful white marble palace located in the center of the city; the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, which shows three very important facets of Mexican architecture, the pre-Hispanic, the colonial and the modern; the Castillo de Chapultepec, an old castle that was home to Austrian dynasties; and the Mexico City cathedral and Villa of Guadalupe, demonstrations of the colonial heritage.

Not far from the main city, you can find the pyramids of the sun and the moon in Teotihuacan (45 minute drive from downtown). The pyramid at Cuicuilco in the south of the city is a curious circular construction half hidden by the lava the Xitle volcano spewed forth more than three thousand years ago. All the history of this beautiful city can be experienced at the Museum of Anthropology, near the city center.

Mexico City´s nightlife is one of the best in the world: bars, discos, and mariachis! The abundance of bars and activities are endless in Condesa and Insurgentes districts. Why not try shopping as well? The variety of options is huge in downtown and Mazarik Street. For music and theater lovers, Centro Cultural Telmex has famous Broadway plays, while Auditorio Nacional offers the best concerts in the City.
