OUT OF PRINT!

i bought this book used because it has been out of print for several years now (2002 i think)...WTF? you would think that with Mexico City being one of THE MOST POPULOUS cities IN THE WORLD, they would print a new edition EVERY YEAR...not so...so other than that, i would recommend the book. otherwise look for more current info.

Must have book!

I bought several guide books to DF with me and I kept using Lonely planets guide more than the others. It was really the only guide book I needed. Save your money with other guide books and just purchase this one.

It saved my life in Mexico City!

The Lonely-Planet Mexico City guidebook was truely amazing. It provided great information, with lots of detail. The maps were very helpful, especially the Metro map, because there were other Metro maps available in English- anywhere! The guidebook also provided useful information on cultural events, dangers, and food. If you are going to Mexico City, I highly recommend this book!

Good approach to a megalopolis

Good guide to discover the treasures, from prehispanic to modern times, hidden in the pollution and traffic. Despite the population and size, the city still welcomes its visitors. You can go from the traffic jams in Av. Insurgentes or Calzada Tlapan to the peace of a stroll in the Alameda Central or a visit to the lakes in Chapultepec. The guide deserves a place in your bag, though things change so fast in such place, so an update is needed in the hotels and restaurant selection.
