Mexico City

Mexico City is best known within Mexico for its UNESCO-listed Historic Centre, where the Zócalo, Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace define the colonial core. The capital spreads across the Valley of Mexico, a high basin whose former lake system survives most visibly in the canals and chinampas of Xochimilco, also part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is a vast, intensely urban metropolis, yet its neighbourhoods have distinct identities: Coyoacán is closely linked with Frida Kahlo, while UNAM’s university campus is celebrated for monumental twentieth-century murals. Markets, museums and public squares bring the city’s everyday energy into focus. Explore nearby webcam locations that reveal complementary perspectives on Mexico City and the Valley of Mexico.
