Almost on every block you will find historical places with different architectural styles, some of them are museums, theaters, churches or restaurants and a few government offices. You may want to take some walking tours with local guides who tell stories about the neighborhood, buildings and streets; also if you like Mexican food and drinking you can tour older restaurants and cantinas. You can find many places to eat and drink, from street food and cantinas to sophisticated restaurants and bars, from typical Mexican food to Mexican signature cuisine and international cuisine; the prices correspond to the kind of place you choose to eat. Of course there is a market with really good and fresh food if you prefer to make dinner yourself. Also, the city center has always been a commercial area, you can find many stores with all kinds of things you can imagine. I like to think that downtown is like a huge department store, and every street is a different department, thus Donceles street is the specialist area of photography and old books, Tacuba street is perfume and scents department, etc. Because of that, you will find many kinds of different people walking or buying in the streets of downtown. Besides, the cultural life in downtown is quite active with several kinds of activities to do: museums, exhibitions, concerts, plays, dance, festivals. There are many things to do in the heart of the city, so I can ensure you won't be bored.
