Bait and Switch independent ads
Be aware I was in CDMX this past weekend and three instances of bait and switch. Even though I told them that I want a recent photo to make sure the door man / security lets them in. Each time the worker was decent enough to continue but each was different and completely different then the advertise. I used skokka advertised as independents and also cityoflove. Each the service was 1800-2000 mex pesos and not bad since that's a little around $100 bucks.
CDMX Tourism Ideas for you and your date
Theía de Muertos, Mexico City 2024.
Should you decide on CDMX for your stopover for the first time or plan on visiting a few touristy sites alone or accompanied, here are my sample suggestions, and remember, your newly local girlfriend may also hail from another state.
Morning coffee: See Bosque de Chapultepec and Chapultepec Lake. You may start at the Starbucks café near Librería Porrúa. There are rides on the lakes, many kiosks and a lot of fun.
Day lunch: Meet at CINETECA NACIONAL MÉXICO [URL]www.cinetecanacional.net[/URL] Av. México Coyoacáand #389 Col. Xoco Alcaldía Benito Juárez.
5 o'clock tea (see on clear weather day and plan to see the sunset):
Torre Latinoamericana – Tower Eje Central Lázaro seeárdenas 2 Centro Histórico de la Cdad. De México, Centro, Cuauhtémoc. There is an observation deck, a Restaurante [URL]miralto.com[/URL] l. Ead. Me / cartas20.
(Note: take separate portrait lens for the observation deck if you got DSLR camera as security may not allow long distance lens as this allows to take photos of a National Palace).
Evening late night dinner at Salon Tenampa: Plaza Garibaldi is located between Calle Republica de Honduras and Calle Republica de Peru on Eje Central, just north of the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Set aside time to visit the nearby Museum of Tequila and Mezcal. [URL]www.mutemgaribaldi.mx[/URL].
Alameda Central is great on any weekend night (Thursday to Sunday). A lot of dance parties, food courts and old fashioned Luna park type attractions.
Other must visit tourist ideas:
Monument to the Revolution – Monument Pl. De la República s / and Tabacalera, Cuauhtémoc mrm. Mx There are two Adelita coffee shops, one at base and the second at 3rd floor. The monument is open on Sunday, but the Museum of the Revolution is not, isn't it revolutionary? Remember, inside the monument to go up you have to go down first, this is the revolutionary truth.
Palacio de Bellas Artes Av. Juárez s / and esq. Eje Central Lázaro seeárdenas, Col. Centro, Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc.
Pay a small extra charge for your camera work. Show up 15 minutes in advance to be the first visitor of the day. Which other major city is it possible, anyway?

If you are caught walking randomly too often about the Reforma Red light district, tell the oficial you're about to discuss uneven lighting conditions with the curator at the nearby Museo Nacional de San Carlos mnsancarlos. Inba. Gob. Mx.
So, those were my 2 centavos or maybe more adjusted for inflation, eh?
