This is my slow traveler's guide to the sprawling capital of Mexico. It is a reflection of my time spent there and how to explore this beautiful city in the way I did. That said, it's by no means a comprehensive guide so it's a great companion piece to other info - or to use as a jumping off point for your own discovery.

These are my tips - both for how to experience the city - and where to do so, taken from the nearly 9 months that I've spent living here over 2 separate stays.

In addition to sharing places I loved, I also go deeper into my slow travel philosophy and show you how to experience - and love - the city the way I have.

Guide includes:
- Specific locations from my videos
- Recommended trips to take outside the city
- Over 35 specific places I personally visited
