A good place to start your trip to Mexico is in the heart of the country, the nation's capital, where ancient meets modern.

While you're there, don't miss Mexico City's top sights, including the National Museum of Anthropology.

A good way to get to know the historical center is by taking a walking tour. When your feet get tired, hop on the Turibus to enjoy the sights from a different perspective. And when hunger strikes, head to the Hosteria Santo Domingo for a great meal.

There is more crime in Mexico City than in other areas of Mexico, so while you're there, be sure to take general safety precautions against theft.
