The 20 Best Things to Do in Mexico City (Updated 2025)

"I’m always impressed by the architecture at Biblioteca Vasconcelos—the so-called megalibrary whose huge, transparent, multi-level building is more the attraction than the collection, featuring mismatched floors, prominent sculptures, sustainability features like rainwater collection, and a quiet back garden worth a stroll; admission is free. " - Matthew Kepnes
