03Waarom het relevant is

Mexico City's claim on the international calendar rests on two imports rather than any inherited local tradition: Formula 1 returned to the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in 2015 after a long absence, and Zona Maco built itself, over two decades, into the largest art fair in Latin America. Both draw on the same underlying fact, that Mexico City is a genuine metropolis of some 22 million people in its metropolitan area with a deep collector base and a growing international profile, rather than a resort town hosting an outside industry for one week a year. In our reading, the Grand Prix weekend's atmosphere, built around a grandstand section that runs directly through the field of a former baseball stadium, is the more distinctive of the two fixtures precisely because nothing about it could be relocated to another city without losing that character.

06Hoe er te komen en te bewegen

07Waar alles zich bevindt

Wijken

Hotelgebieden

Polanco holds the city's established concentration of hotels serving business and gallery visitors, within reach of Zona Maco's Centro Citibanamex venue. Roma and Condesa offer a smaller-scale, more residential alternative, and the Centro Historico's hotels put visitors closest to the colonial core rather than to the Grand Prix circuit, which sits further southeast.

Restaurantwijken

Polanco's restaurant scene, anchored by internationally ranked kitchens along and near Avenida Presidente Masaryk, is the city's most internationally visited. Roma and Condesa carry a denser, more varied everyday restaurant and bar scene.

Culturele instellingen

Winkelen

Avenida Presidente Masaryk in Polanco is described as Latin America's most expensive shopping street, holding the city's concentration of designer flagship stores alongside major department stores and shopping centers.

08Hoe de bestemming verandert

Mexico City's dry season, roughly November to April, is also when Zona Maco falls; the rainy season from May to October brings regular afternoon storms, though the Grand Prix itself, at the rainy season's tail end in late October, has generally avoided major disruption.

09Geschiedenis

The Mexica people founded Tenochtitlan around 1325 on islands in Lake Texcoco, building it into the Aztec Empire's capital before Hernan Cortes's forces besieged and largely destroyed the city in 1521. The Spanish rebuilt on the same site using their own urban grid, and modern Mexico City was established as the federal capital in 1824, making it, by some accounts, the oldest capital city in the Americas. The Centro Historico's colonial architecture and the pre-Hispanic ruins beneath and around it earned the area UNESCO World Heritage status. Roma's Porfirian-era mansions, built mainly between 1906 and 1939, fell into decline after the devastating 1985 earthquake before a wave of gentrification from the 2000s onward turned Roma and neighboring Condesa into the city's most internationally visited residential districts outside Polanco.
