Mexico City, Mexico: a fascinating capital that beguiles its visitors with endless options (PHOTOS)

Mexico City is the capital city of Mexico, and the largest city in North America by population. Mexico City is divided up into 16 delegaciones, similar to the boroughs of New York, which in turn are divided into "colonias" (neighborhoods), of which there are about 250. Knowing what colonia you're going to is essential to getting around, almost all locals will know where a given colonia is (but note that there are some colonias with duplicate or very similar names).
