Mexico City is the capital city of Mexico. It is the most important economic, industrial and cultural center in the country, and the most populous city with 8,836,045 inhabitants in 2008. Mexico city is full of history and new age technology intertwined through the city. Laying in the Valley of Mexico, Mexico City is physically located in the center of the country. During the siege of 1521 the city nearly crumbled to pieces but has since been rebuild to form what is is today. In 1968 Mexico City even hosted the Olympic Games, then only two years later hosed the FIFA world cup in 1970 then again in 1986. 
Mexico City is divided up into 16 delegaciones, similar to the boroughs of New York, which in turn are divided into "colonias"(neighborhoods), of which there are about 250. Knowing what colonia you're going to is essential to getting around, almost all locals will know where a given colonia is (however, beware that there are some colonias with duplicate or very similar names). As with many very large cities, the structure is relatively decentralized, with several parts of the city having their own miniature "downtown areas". However, the real downtown areas are Centro, the old city center, and Zona Rosa, the new business and entertainment district. 
Mexico’s Highland climate is crated by tropical local and high elevation. The center of the city is constructed out of the stones of the great temples, Zocalo is the city’s square which is the second largest in the world! The square is full of markets, cafes and entertainment. Mexico city has endless bits of culture including world class museums and art galleries, and architecture.Mexico city has more museums then any other city in the world, Mexico City is 4th on the list in terms of number of theaters as slightly led by Toronto, New York and London.
