I picked up the previous edition of this book on a whim before a two-week trip to Mexico City a few years ago, and liked it so much that I got myself the new edition for another recent trip. It gives you an excellent overview of the basic stuff, but never fails to come up with new and interesting ideas and angles, even if you already know the city quite well. I am very impressed with the authors' ability to convey a spot-on sense of how the city is like. This guide has never failed me. To me, it's a considerably better quality product than the usual travel guides and therefore highly recommended.
Excellent, reliable guide

I bought this when a previous edition of the same guidebook began to deteriorate physically, after constant use on several trips! This book is compact, easy to carry. It is well written - concise, intelligent, and informative. I've been getting to know Mexico City over the last few years through repeated visits, and so far this book hasn't let me down. I'm particularly interested in cultural, architectural, and historical sites, and the Moon Handbook has directed me to many wonderful things, some well frequented by tourists, others less so. I've found it to be a perfect combination of seriousness and brevity.
