It&#8217;s also commonly referred to as CDMX or DF, which is short for <em>Distrito Federal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>So why is CDMX one of my favorite places in Mexico? Where do I begin?! It&#8217;s just such an exciting place with so much to see and do. <strong>Hay muchos museos incre\u00edbles en la ciudad, como el Museo Nacional de Antropolog\u00eda<\/strong> (There are many amazing museums in the city, such as the National Museum of Anthropology).

The famous Mexican wrestling is a big part of the culture here, with matches going on several nights a week. Friday nights at Arena Mexico are a very exciting time.

From taco trucks on street corners to some of the top-rated restaurants in the world, your tastebuds are in for a real treat here.
