After watching the Aztec dancers, we decided to take the hop-on hop-off bus. This is not a typical touristy ride as there are more locals than tourists on the bus. We took it from the parking lot of the Cathedral at Zocalo, it takes you to about 22 attractions. Its worth a ride on this, since it takes you all over Mexico city including Condesa, Chapultepec park and the Museum of Anthropology.The total time for one round trip was about three hours. We really liked the concept of the turibus, for 135 pesos per ticket we got to see all the important places with a description and history behind the monuments. We noticed the whole of Mexico City is filled with statues , fountains and colonial style buildings with huge domes. Headsets are provided when we enter the bus, it has about nine languages !We headed to the open rooftop and took our seats and enjoyed every moment of it. What you need to watch for is there are two routes covering different parts of the City and the ticket is valid for both!!!! The common point for both the routes is “Insurgentes”, embark here if you plan to take the second route. If you have one full day at the city, we suggest you take both the tours since the ticket is valid for both. We had to miss the second route due to lack of time and Rajesh’s laziness to go enquire at the right time:-( We also missed the Museum of Anthropology, which is supposed to be the best in the world. Note that all the museums and Templo de mayor is closed on Mondays, so plan accordingly.
