Mexico City is a destination full of culture, tradition and history that is characterized by a nightlife as varied and striking as the daytime. From a stroll down Masaryk Street to a romantic picnic in the Chapultepec forest, in Mexico City you can enjoy different activities after sunset, which will definitely make you fall in love with this city.
So, if you can’t think of what to do after a delicious dinner, here’s a list of 5 activities in Mexico City that might interest you:
