                <description><![CDATA[Often overlooked by guidebooks (probably because this is not the "typical" museum that you would visit in Mexico), the Soumaya holds one of the biggest collections of sculptures by Auguste Rodin in the world (really impressive!). There are also works by Degas, Renoir, van Gogh, Murillo, 'EL Greco', Miro, Tamayo, etc. Entrance fee is 1 euro (10 pesos) (Sundays and Mondays free). It is located in the south part of the city (San Angel area), you can stop by on your way to/from Ciudad Universitaria.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Hit the Anthropological Museum at the right time on the right day, and you might catch a free display by the Voladores of Papantla - four daredevil feathered men who clamber to the top of a giant maypole, launch themselves into space with the slenderest thread around their feet, and 'fly' around the pole to the bottom. Four men making 13 rotations produces 52 - a mystical number for the Aztecs. Drop a few pesos in the hat of their sidekick - there are no safety nets here.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Located just across the Museo de Antropologia e Historia, this zoo is the biggest in the city. This place is home to more than 200 species of animals including a giant panda. The zoo was remodeled during 1992-1994 considering their real habitat, so they do not live in cages but in environmentally enriched spaces. Entrance is free!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[On Saturdays from late morning to early afternoon the pretty and central, if unassuming, Ciudadela square is turned into a large open-air dance hall. The music is primarily salsa and the more demur danzon, and the atmosphere is utterly charming. Most, but not all, of those who come to dance for free are older couples. There are also dance teachers giving lessons on the side of the square.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Look at the buildings and go in when you can. Don’t miss the murals inside some of them, like Diego Rivera’s masterpiece in the National Palace on the Zocalo. If you watch your wallet, stroll into the more dilapidated parts of the centre behind the cathedral where street vendors, prostitutes and general faded glory hold sway.]]></description>
