Essential The Official Coli Travel Thread
Food places.
Things to do. I am going on the pyramid tour that they have
Anything you know that you enjoyed, please let me know
I am doing a bike tour as well. I am staying at this place called The Brick Hotel, not sure if you have heard about it or the area but it supposed to be a cool spot to stay
Again this is Mexico City.
The pyramids are definitely a must. Make sure you bring some good walking/exercise shoes and sunscreen. Lucha Libre wrestling at Arena Mexico is a lot of fun. They have shows twice a week and it looks like they're still selling tickets but with Covid I'm not sure what the vibe would be like. If you're into history the Museum of Anthropology is really dope. It's located in a park not far from Chapultepec Castle (also worth checking). Also, the Zocalo in El Centro. Very iconic square, I believe it's one of the largest city squares in the world. Also walk Reforma and check the Angel of Independence.
Food wise there's too many options
These are just some places I've been to (all near your hotel).-Tres Galeones - I believe they specialize in seafood tacos. I had the Baja style fish tacos. Fire.
-Tacos Lolita (@ Morelia and Colima) - They served beef head/tongue tacos. Crazy good. Make sure you get the salsas on them.
-Hamburguesas a la Parilla (also @ Morelia and Colima) - Haven't had the food here but was told the burgers are really good.
-Panaderia Rosetta - bakery for coffee and pastries
-try some Mezcal but don't shoot it like it's some cheap tequila. The proper way is to sip it.
To be honest though I'd ask someone working at the hotel to suggest real local spots to eat at too. Street food is really good but once I had some fresh juice from a vendor and I think they used tap water and it tore my stomach up
Brings some Tums just in case 
You're staying in Roma Norte so you're close and central to a lot of stuff
Condesa is the neighborhood just west and it's nice to walk the tree lined streets over there like Tamaulipas and Amsterdam. I'm not sure if you're into architecture but there's a lot of interesting Art Deco and Mid-Century architecture in Mexico City. If I went back I'd like to spend more time going to the local open-air markets and the old school fondas (diners). These are just some things but there's more stuff I could suggest too. How's your Spanish?Yo, I could go on and on about Mexico City. Don't get me started on the chick who stole a piece of my heart down there smh

Breh.
Thanks for the info.
My days are now loaded with action pack activities
I can't wait to get there. Good looking out on the Tums too.
Man I'm geeked
Did you do anything as far as night life?
I don't have to have anything, just asking
Again to you BrehYeah, I went out a bitBreh.

There was a club on top of Antara mall I went to that was full of Mexicacs 
Not really my scene or music but I like to people watch so 
I also went to some bars in Condesa that were pretty cool but they were more the type of spots where you sit down with your friends.How long you out there for? Rolling dolo or with some people?
Yeah, I went out a bit
How long you out there for? Rolling dolo or with some people?
Just for 4 days
Rolling with some folks this time.
I think Condesa may be the spot for us. Chill, drink type vibe and setup.
Yea the at home testing is gonna be clutch. Take one or two when you travel abroad as well.
This end of summer trip is gonna be so clutch. Might even extend from 10 days to 13 or 14.

My Spanish is not good.
Anything else to do?
Bike tours? Anything.
Again, this is my first time
When I went I found not as many people there are bilingual as I've experienced in some other cities. So in some spaces I had a slight language barrier but then again I like going to very local places. On the up side Google Translate should be able to help you in a pinch. Also, if there were going to be any areas with English speakers it's gonna be Roma/Condesa.
Some people go to Xochimilco in the south of the city. This area has a bunch of canals where you can hire someone to give you a boat ride, sorta Venice style. You can order beer and hire Mariachi bands to sing to you on the boats. Also a bit south is the artist Frida Kahlo's house which is also a museum. I heard the neighborhood around there is cool to walk around. You could walk around Polanco which is like the Fifth Avenue of Mexico City with all the high end shops. There's also the Soumaya museum in Polanco. There's a mezcal bar called La Clandestina in Condesa which would be nice for a group.
The city has public bikes you can rent so there's always the option of renting a bike and doing your own thing for a few hours. Also, skip the cabs and just stick to ubers. I've seen on Airbnb you can hire locals to give you different themed tours so that could be cool too. Honestly the city is huge as hell and even with the times I've been and all the things I saw I still feel like I barely scratched the surface.

When are you going?
At the airport now and it got me to thinking. As things normalize im going to start doing trip reports for yall since i travel a lot. Ill piece everything together at the end of my trip and post pics etc.
What is the best option for flights if you aren't sure where you will be flying from? I travel for work so I can't exactly plan where I'll be. I'm planning on flying to Vegas late September but don't know from where right now.
OK it's that time of year so I'll say it.
Be safe and be careful out there brehs.
I wish you all good food, pictures, vibes, and asses slammed
Bon Voyage to everyone traveling

You can change your flight as many times as you want with Southwest without paying a change fee, only thing is you'll have to pay whatever the difference in fare is departing from the original location to new location
All these fine sistas
