THINGS TO DO
The unavoidable half of Mexico City is archaeological — the Anthropology museum and Teotihuacán — and the half people come back for happens in the evening or on a Sunday, at a wrestling card or on a boat in the southern canals.

Museo Nacional de Antropología
The national archaeology and ethnography collection, including the Aztec Sun Stone, on Paseo de la Reforma inside Chapultepec. Tuesday to Sunday 09:00–18:00; 210 pesos general, 105 for Mexican nationals and foreign residents, and free on Sundays for those two groups. Metro Auditorio (Line 7) or Metrobus Antropologia is the nearest stop, about 1.3 km away.
Teotihuacán
The pyramid city about an hour north-east of the capital, open daily 08:00–17:00 with last entry at 16:30; 210 pesos for foreign visitors and 105 for Mexican nationals and residents. Go on the first bus of the day — 264 hectares are open to visitors and there is very little shade by midday.
Museo Frida Kahlo — Casa Azul
Kahlo's house in Coyoacán, largely as she left it. There is no ticket window at all: tickets are sold only through the museum's own online system, 320 pesos general and 160 for Mexican residents. Open Tuesday to Sunday 10:00–18:00, from 11:00 on Wednesdays, closed Mondays.
Lucha libre at Arena México
CMLL runs regular cards at Arena México in Colonia Doctores; the Tuesday show starts at 19:30 and tickets go through the box office or Ticketmaster. Check the promotion's own listings before you commit — the site notes the schedule is subject to late changes.
Xochimilco trajineras
Flat-bottomed boats poled along the canals in the far south of the city. The borough's official rate is 750 pesos per hour for the whole boat, which holds up to 18 people, and all ten embarcaderos operate every day of the year. Nativitas and Las Flores are the traditional piers, with craft markets and restaurants; Cuemanco and Fernando Celada head into the protected wetland for birdwatching instead.
