very helpful

This book is compact, easy to carry. It is well written - concise, intelligent, and informative. I've been getting to know Mexico City over the last year through two trips and a third upcoming, and so far this book hasn't let me down. I'm particularly interested in cultural, architectural, and historical sites, and the Moon Guide has directed me to many wonderful things, some well frequented by tourists, others less so. I've found it to be a perfect combination of seriousness and brevity.

Practical and knowledgeable

As a former resident and frequent visitor to Mexico City, I still appreciate having access to this guidebook, which I find quite practical and easy to carry along (as opposed to the more common, bulkier Mexico country guides). I find the author's writing to be directed not just towards the casual tourist, but also towards longer-term visitors and ex-pats as well, with its extensive coverage of nightlife, day-trips, restaurants, bars, neighborhoods, and experiences that would not necessarily be of interest to a first time, short-term visitor. At the same time, it is well-organized and precise enough to be very useful to short-term visitors, I have on several occasions lent my copy to colleagues or friends and they have all had a good experience using the this guidebook. I find the writing strikes the right balance between being descriptive enough to get a very good feel for the sights/events and succint enough not to overwhelm with description. To boot, it can be an entertaining and informative read, especially in its side bars and background information sections (i.e., "chilango slang"). Overall, highly recommended.

Excellent Resource

This book is an excellent resource when you are traveling to Mexico City. Very comprehensive and well written. We spent a week in Mexico City and we didn't scratch the surface of the City or what this book has to offer. I recommend it.

Very happy with this guide book

Although this book is now almost 4 years old, it is still the best Mexico City-only guide I could find. The text information on sites, restaurants, hotels, etc. is generally excellent, and held up well during my recent trip to Mexico City. Some of the maps and graphics could be updated, but generally I found this to be a reliable, entertaining and useful book. I'd recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Mexico City unless and until something better comes along.

Highly recommended

- Two exceptional writers have combined talents in showcasing the most popular as well as some of the more lesser-known, eclectic destinations the Distrito Federal has to offer. Mexican photographers Pablo Monasterio Ortiz, From Planeta Journal - Raul Ortega and Maritza Lopez contributed exceptional black and white photos that along with Bob Race's illustrations complement the text. Sideboxes examine environmental issues and even city websites. Travelers will find the book is not limited to the megalopolis, but it also profiles nearby destinations, including Valle de Bravo, Puebla and Taxco.
