The 27 Best Things to Do in Mexico City

"Maybe the only reason to get up at 4 a.m. in Mexico City, this reputable hot air balloon company operates a few miles outside of the sprawling pre-hispanic city of Teotihucán (a 50 minute or so Uber ride from Mexico City). They are curt and professional, with a well-run office. The guides have years of experience—which you certainly want when floating thousands of feet above the ground. Coffee, tea, and fruit are offered. Just don't miss your flight! There are no refunds. Also, it's cold up there. Bring extra layers, sunglasses, hats, and maybe gloves. Teotihuacán is impressive on foot but the true scope and scale of this ancient city emerges when you see the site from this vantage point. On its own, this beautiful, daybreak hot air balloon in the foothills of Central Mexico is perfect—add in the pyramids, courtyards, and excavation points which maximize the experience. It is simply, one of the most stunning views Mexico has to offer." - Scarlett Lindeman
