Mexico City transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Zocalo and the Metropolitan Cathedral take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Xochimilco for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Mexico City is one of the world's great walking cities, with a historic center built over the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, leafy colonial neighborhoods, and a food scene that earned UNESCO recognition.

Mexico City is primarily visited for food and history, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Zocalo and the Metropolitan Cathedral come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Xochimilco — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
Mexico City sits at 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) above sea level — the altitude can cause shortness of breath during your first days. Walk at a relaxed pace and stay hydrated until you acclimatize.
October through April is the dry season with clear blue skies and comfortable temperatures. March through May can be the warmest months, but afternoon showers in summer bring dramatic skies.
