Ciudad de México

Czechia — Mexico Wednesday 24.06.2026

Ciudad de México isn't a city — it's a world unto itself. One of the largest metropolises on the planet, grown right on the foundations of Tenochtitlán — once the capital of the Aztec Empire. On one street you meet a taco vendor, and a block away you walk into a world-class gallery. Here centuries of history mix with pulsing modern energy — from Aztec pyramids through colonial palaces to skyscrapers. Ciudad de México is loud, chaotic, surprising and unstoppable. And that's exactly why it's unforgettable.

Pasa el Balón

MIDE — Museo Interactivo de Economía · 160 MXN

Football as economics, identity and culture — an interactive exhibition at the MIDE economics museum. You can try, for instance, a "header" controlled purely by concentration via neurosensors. Included in the regular MIDE admission (160 MXN), or the exhibition alone for 80 MXN. Something different from a classic museum.
