2004 email from a friend there...
Places to stay:
"i would stay in condesa-roma because the location is great and there is
one hotel in condesa that is not in the super bussy area that is nice. i
will pick up the info on the way back home today. other option is too
stay in downtown in the historic part, but is super bussy all the time
but is really cool specially if is your first time here. is mexico
citycore. i will give you some options."Museums:
http://www.lacoleccionjumex.org/…
http://www.museotamayo.org/"MOST DEFINETLY la galeria Jumex, is like the second biggest collection of
modern art in the world. Museo Tamayo, which is a great museum that you
have to go is on Reforma next to the Museum of Anthropology that you can't
miss neither. about mexican artists, on the other side of the Tamayo is
the Museo of Arte Contemporaneo. Orozco, Siquieros, Frida, Remedios Varo
Is all in the same avenue and is close to the hotel i told you. u can
walk from there, would take you like 2o mins but is nice around, there are
galleries and that. For native work there is a great place called Museo
de Las Culturas Populares in downtown. as well as ruins of tenochtitlan
and the Cathedral and El Zocalo the second biggest explanade after the
Kremlin. you can;t miss that neither around there are great cantinas (old
school original) but you have to stay around those few blocks because
after there is the Black zone. i will tell you exactly till where you can
go in downtown."
