Teotihuacan — Die Pyramiden der Sonne und des Mondes
Teotihuacan ('der Ort, an dem die Götter erschaffen wurden', 50 Kilometer nordöstlich von Mexiko-Stadt, UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe) war die größte Stadt in den vorkolumbischen Amerikas; seine zwei großen Pyramiden und die Allee der Toten bilden eine der außergewöhnlichsten archäologischen Stätten der Welt.
Zócalo, Templo Mayor & das Historische Zentrum — Aztekisches und Koloniales Mexiko-Stadt
Das historische Zentrum von Mexiko-Stadt liegt auf dem Gelände von Tenochtitlan, der aztekischen Hauptstadt, die 1325 gegründet wurde — die am stärksten geschichtete Stadtgeschichte in Amerika, wo die Ruinen des Aztekenreiches unter der prächtigsten kolonialen Barockarchitektur der Neuen Welt liegen.
Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Coyoacán & Xochimilco
Die südlichen Stadtteile von Mexiko-Stadt — die bohemianische Kolonialenklave Coyoacán (Heimat des Blauen-Haus-Museums von Frida Kahlo), das Kanalnetz von Xochimilco (UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe) und das Museo Anahuacalli — repräsentieren die kulturellen und historischen Wurzeln der mexikanischen Identität.
Nationales Anthropologiemuseum & Schloss Chapultepec
The National Museum of Anthropology (Museo Nacional de Antropología, Paseo de la Reforma, Bosque de Chapultepec) — universally considered the greatest pre-Columbian art museum in the world — and Chapultepec Castle (the hill-top castle in the Bosque de Chapultepec, the 686-hectare forest park that is Mexico City's equivalent of Central Park) together form the cultural centrepiece of the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City's grand 19th-century ceremonial boulevard.
Mexikanische Esskultur — Tacos, Tamales, Mole & die Markttradition
Mexican cuisine (listed by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2010) is one of the world's great food traditions — a synthesis of indigenous Mesoamerican cooking techniques and ingredients (corn, chiles, tomatoes, chocolate, vanilla, avocado, squash) with Spanish colonial influences, producing a culinary tradition of extraordinary depth, regionalism, and complexity that goes far beyond the simplified Mexican-American versions known internationally.
Lucha Libre — Arena México & die Kunst des mexikanischen Wrestlings
Lucha libre (Mexican professional wrestling, literally 'free fighting') is one of the most distinctive and beloved popular cultural traditions of Mexico — a theatrical athletic spectacle combining acrobatic high-flying moves, dramatic masked personas (luchadores enmascarados), complex multi-generational storylines, and intense audience participation into a uniquely Mexican performance art form that has been a fixture of Mexican popular culture since the 1930s.
Polanco, Condesa & Roma — Das zeitgenössische Mexiko-Stadt
The neighbourhoods of Polanco, Condesa, and Roma — the modern, cosmopolitan, and architecturally distinguished western and central neighbourhoods of Mexico City — collectively represent the face of contemporary urban Mexico: Polanco with its luxury hotels, international restaurants and high-end boutiques along Presidente Masaryk; Condesa with its Art Deco architecture, tree-lined oval park, and café culture; Roma with its restored Porfiriato-era mansions, independent galleries, and the highest concentration of mezcal bars and contemporary restaurants in the city.
Paseo de la Reforma, Engel der Unabhängigkeit & Museo Soumaya
Paseo de la Reforma (the grand 12-lane ceremonial boulevard running diagonally from the historic centre northwest through Chapultepec to the western suburbs — designed by Emperor Maximilian I and modeled on the Haussmanian boulevards of Paris, lined with sculptures, embassies, luxury hotels, corporate headquarters, and cultural institutions) is the symbolic spine of Mexico City and the stage on which the city celebrates and mourns its greatest moments.
Basilika von Guadalupe, Tlatelolco & das spirituelle Herz Mexikos
The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe (north of Mexico City's historic centre, on the Cerro del Tepeyac) is the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the world, receiving approximately 20 million pilgrims annually — more than Vatican City or Lourdes; the Virgin of Guadalupe (the apparition of the Virgin Mary reported to indigenous Mexican Juan Diego in December 1531, ten years after the Spanish Conquest) is the central symbol of Mexican national identity, transcending the religious to become the most powerful cultural symbol of Mexico.
