Bill's Travel Photos

Mexico City is my absolute favorite vacation site. I've been there dozens of times in recent years. Sure, it has 22 million people, but it also has world class restaurants (at a fraction of the prices elsewhere), more than 135 great museums, one of the world's best subway systems, incredible archeological sites, music and night life, unique shopping, and so much more. Don't miss it!
The Zocalo is the main plaza in front of the National Palace	The Zocalo streets are ablaze with color lights during all holidays	There are constant contrasts of colonial and modern architecture
The Cathedral stands on the north side of the Zocalo. The interior (right) has been renovated recently.		A huge Christmas piñata hangs in the courtyard of the House of Tiles, a Sanborn's Restaurant, in the Centro section of the city.
