Mexico City is almost none of what you expect, and much more of what you don’t. Simply put, this is an urban city and capital whose reputation seems to have almost nothing to do with what it actually is, which in these days of online tours, virtual guidebooks, and overwhelming information seems strange, but it’s true.
