Activities

Your feet are often the best way to move short distances, though be warned that altitude, pollution and noise can make walking in Mexico City tiring. Some visitors end up feeling breathless and easily exhausted, or come down with headaches, runny noses or insomnia. Those possible consequences can make rigorous outdoor activities not so appealing.

One of the best things about Mexico City is the many fascinating natural attractions and activities on offer within a few hours' travel out of the city. However, a quite cool (literally) indoor option within the city limits is ice skating at the Pista de Hielo San Jerónimo near the Ciudad Universitaria.
