I have been 3 times to Mexico City and, in search of something new to explore, I asked a friend for her top 5 underrated Mexico City recommendations. She suggested:
1. Barrio Santa Catarina, Coyoacán - I grew up by the zone, it is so beautiful
2. Ciudad Universitaria - I went to College there and the place is breathtaking
3. Chapultepec - I mean, even bigger than Central Park
4. Cineteca Nacional - I have so many memories from High school... And cool art cinema
5. Mixquic - in Dia de Muertos. It's a whole experience in a little village town
