Mexico City is one of those places that you’ll visit and want to go back as soon as you leave. The spirit of the city is unlike anywhere – it has a rich cultural history, combined with an amazingly colorful art scene, and some of the best food in the world. Formerly Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec empire, it is the oldest capital city in the world, and sits on a former lake bed. Make sure you brush up on the Spanish basics and respect all the languages spoken in the city, because a little goes a long way. Try EVERYTHING, from spicy street food to walking through ancient cities, and of course, bring your Lomography film and camera with you.
