MEXICO CITY 🇲🇽 The oldest capital of North America, and of the Americas. (Mexico-Tenochtitlan) Historical capital of four political entities: Capital of the Aztec Empire Capital of the Viceroyalty of the New Spain Capital of the First Mexican Empire Capital of the Mexican Republic Nicknamed by the conquerors The Venice of the new world. Mexico City, is the second city with more museums, in the world, has the Chapultepec Castle, the only real castle in America to be inhabited by emperors. Besides the Bosque de Chapultepec that is three times bigger than Central Park in New York. El Paseo de la Reforma is considered the second most beautiful avenue in the world, after the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The capital has a legacy that mixes architecture, pre-Hispanic, colonial, and modern, making Mexico City a cosmopolitan city. The ancient Mexico-Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire, has been transformed into "Mexico City" The metropolis of Latin America. 🏢🏣🏡⛲
I love your comments. Even with all that you said, there are still people, Brazilians actually, who get on TH-cam and say that São Paulo, Brazil is bigger and better than Mexico City, and that it is the undisputed capital of Latin America. I'd like to know what the hell those Brazilians are smoking to make those outlandish claims. São Paulo is huge, but it's also uglier than sin. Not only that, but Mexico City has always been more culturally and historically significant on the world stage than São Paulo, Brazil.
@@uwe1996 En total acuerdo.... Sao Paulo se ve sucio, añejo, descuidado y en general pareciera que las ciudades brasileñas tienen tienen una apariencia gris, una apariencia como deprimente.... Y Sao Paulo es gris a morir.
You should come to visit Mexico City, one of he biggest cities in the world and one of the must friendly too. It will be a pleasure to assist you, please visit our web site: www.goldencrownmx.com
I’m Mexican and I think you really did a great job with this video, because you explained how beautiful this city is. So you create a feeling of pride to us and the name of the musicians are organilleros Thank you
One of America's biggest geopolitical (AKA imperialist) assets is Hollywood; through Hollywood USA controls the world's perception of itself, always to the benefit of the USA and its Western Euro partners. Luckily a new world is dawning with China far-surpassing USA's development and quality of life, while the U.S. continues to waste money on its military-industrial complex. China's strategy is to make friends, USAs is to make enemies.
There are many Cities in Mexico that are absolutely beautiful & have very modern architectural buildings that are not even seen in the USA.. It is extremely rich in history as well as many historical building's.. Conveniently Hollywood never portrays Mexico in a positive way!!! It's a very modern City & offers lots of things to do
@@MiguelLopez-lr9db Mexico is beautiful and diverse, can't wait to be there, hopefully in March if our cases are coming down in Toronto. I disagree with you, China does not go around destroying countries and overthrowing governments to serve their purpose, they are about business, they do have 1.4 billion to feed. Travel the world and see for yourself, I for one need a new world order for sake of humankind. I wish the Palestines and Syrians can have some peace and have their land back.
Tienes una forma tan honesta y clara de describir tu recorrido e impresiones de México, espero pases muchos días disfrutando las maravillas de este país. Saludos
El nombre del chico con la caja de música es: EL ORGANILLERO O EL CILINDRERO. The name of the GUY with the music box is: THE ORGANILLERO OR THE CYLINDER.
Yes, brought by the German immigrants. Mexico has German, Italian, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Lebanese, English, Spanish, Argentinian and many more immigrants from around the world that came to Mexico by the tens of thousands throughout the centuries. Nice to meet you Nick. You will never forget Mexico. Welcome, mi casa es tu casa.
Hi Nicki, a beautifully prepared vlog, you’ve taken us to some amazing sights! Particularly liked the Postal Palace, how unique! Thanks so much for sharing 😀👍👍👍💕
Hi! Im one of your firsts subscribers. I love your videos, keep it up. I think it won't take you too long to have thousands of followers, you seem charismatic.
I love your video format!! It’s one of the best ways to know a city from a vlog. The “walk and talk” like format, giving some of your opinions and a little tour, I really value that, thanks!
I loved your video! I was in Mexico City in early April as well and I felt so lucky to be in my country's capital exploring the streets, seeing the people, the monuments, the architecture and enjoying the delicious food. Thanks for sharing. You did a fantastic job. I shared on my Facebook for more people to discover the amazing Mexico City.
A lot of love and work must go into making these amazing videos! I really appreciate TH-camrs who go out of their way and show us these beautiful details. Mexico City is amazing. It was almost like being there! Subscribed. ;)
Ramiro Ramirez. Es correcto... Tengo entendido que la catedral metropolitana de la Ciudad de México fue construida con piedras de pirámides y sobre los restos de la pirámide del templo mayor como muestra de la victoria de los españoles y para advertir a los nativos quienes son los que mandan ahora. La gran inundación de 1629 que duró mas de 5 años se encargó de que la catedral se derrumbara casi en su totalidad, por tanto lo que vemos ahora podríamos decir que no es la catedral original sino una reconstrucción que duró muchísimos años en concretarse, por eso el templo tiene varios estilos (Barroco, churrigueresco, neoclásico) ya que las diferentes etapas de re-construcción se vieron influenciadas por esos estilos. Saludos.
I enjoyed your video. I think one of the best I’ve seen (of the countless I’ve seen). You’re well-informed about the history of Mexico City. It’s very interesting, I’m planning to go this July.
I do not know the name of the musical instrument, but I do know that the operators are called "Organ Grinders". They appear in early 1920's movies of various cities. They would have a small monkey on a leash with them. The monkey would be wearing a doorman's style vest and cap. Being super cute, the monkey would approach passers by with a cup to collect their change. In this video I spotted at least one such organ grinder with a stuffed monkey toy on this musical instrument attempting to keep the experience authentic!
I'm watching this 'cause #quarantine and i miss cdmx so much! I'm mexican and provincial, and I think this girl explains very well and looks very interested! I loved seeing someone explain it as interested as I would be !! new subscriber, and I want to return to cdmx!!😭❤ saludoooos!!
by the way, I think you missed taking a look at the Templo Mayor (if you come back I highly recommend going !!) which are the ruins of one of the temples in Tenochtitlan! and many of the ruins that the Spanish destroyed are located just below the historic center! if you see the main temple you will notice that it is below ground level! Also the national museum of anthropology and history and the castle of Chapultepec are beautiful (both in the forest of Chapultepec) cdmx is beautiful! Too bad my city is very young and there are not many historical places to visit :(
Hi Nicky those guys on the streets with their misical boxes are called "cilindreros" or "organilleros" they were very popular on the earliest 20's playing music for all the people who walked on the streets in "centro historico" specially on the weekends, you know to make your day nicer, now they are more like a cultural heritage. Although they live more from people's tips.
Hello Nicky!... I'm glad you visit my Beautiful Mexico City!... "Palacio de Bellas Artes and Palacio Postal" were built in the early 1900' during "Porfirio Diaz dictatorship" the arquitect was "Adamo Boari" a Italian that was in Love with Mexico, Mexico City was called "La Ciudad de los Palacios" ( City of Palaces) the music box in the streets is called "Organillero" was brought from Germany in the late 1800's to serenate the couples in Love!
Hello Jesus! The information you share is incredibly helpful and interesting! And I knew there was something very European about those music boxes, now I know why! Thank you!,
Gracias por mostrarme a mi país , yo ya visité CDMX pero el conocer más información respecto a estos lugares que no sabía , me hace amar más a esta ciudad. saludos desde el norte de Mexico . A 3 horas en avión y 2 días en autobús
Hello Nicky, I'm glad you visit my Beautiful Mexico City...did you know that the Beautiful "Cathedral Metropolitana took 300 yrs to build... because of the different wars in Mexico , the Zocalo is the 2nd largest square in the World ( Zocalo means monument base. in the 1800 after Mexico Independence ,the first government was going to put a monument celebrating the Independence, only was the base...People start to called just Zocalo, the name remains, the monument become a reality in 1910 , is the Beautiful "Angel" in Reforma ave, The House of Tiles" is from 1700's was built by a rich marquee, and the blue tiles are from Puebla,Mexico. The Artisan painted is called "Talavera" most white and blue, they made Pottery, Tiles, Glasses etc.
Great video! Yes the organillero plays what is called the crank organ (organo). The name in german is the drehorgel (turn organ) among many names. I believe that most of the organs being used in Mexico city are made in Berlin, Germany. Today, I think that these organs can only be found at the museums in Germany. For some strange reason, they're still playing these boxes in Mexico. I haven't seen them in any other country. Your video is informative! Did you know that an estimate of 700,000 Americans call Mexico City home? They are more than 2M Americans living all over Mexico in a permanent basis and during winter the number could go higher.
Debido al tamaño de esta ciudad, la mayor parte del agua que se usa en la Ciudad de México es traída desde estados aledaños a través del sistema Cutzamala considerado como una de las 10 grandes obras de ingeniería hidráulica del mundo por la capacidad de enviar millones de litros continuamente para más de 20 millones de personas, sin ese sistema la ciudad colapsa en menos de una semana. Los pozos subterráneos solo son para algunos puntos de la ciudad, especialmente el oriente pero el problema del hundimiento de la ciudad viene desde la época colonial, muchos edificios históricos se han logrado salvar gracias a las inyecciones de concreto en las cimentaciones y los métodos de construcción antisismicos, así se logró salvar la Catedral Metropolitana o el Palacio de Bellas Artes.
El sistema Cutzamala es fundamental para abastecer de agua a la CDMX y algunos municipios del Edomex pero provee solo un 40% del agua de la ciudad. El resto proviene de fuentes como manantiales subterráneos del Lerma y del Valle de México. La cantidad de agua extraída de pozos no es marginal y empeora el hundimiento. En donde había lagos se formó un subsuelo muy peculiar compuesto de mucha agua y un tipo de arcilla muy fina formando una estructura similar a las celdas de un panal de abejas. Al poner una estructura muy pesada o extraer agua, las celdas se colapsan y se producen hundimientos. El problema se agudiza porque el agua de lluvia se va al drenaje en vez de recargar los suelos.
lady, you made an incredible video, very rich in information about the history of Mexico City. Incredibly, a lot of people do not know the history of these interesting buildings. Güerita Greetings
You should definitely go you'll have tons of of things to see & do!! Try to also visit Cuernavaca the weather is fabulous it's roughly about One hour drive from CDMX that's if traffic is not to bad... Taxco is also another lovely & historic city know as the capital of Silver Definitely buy some there.. Extremely reasonably priced & many shops to chose from. I want to go back myself next year.. We were there in March of 2018.. Enjoy if you get to go!!
Beautiful video. The instrumet (little box) is called cilindro and the man that plays it is called cilindrero. They used to hsve a monkey alive that helped the player. Also the first cathedral built in lstin america is in Mérida Yucatán. You should come visit. Co gratulations on your video
Thank you so much Cruz! And you're right, after a couple of days I got used to the altitude. By the way, Cuernavaca is an absolutely beautiful city and I will be sure to visit it sometime soon!
My Cousin's live in Cuernavaca, Morelos.. My husband, son's & I were there March 2018 Absolutely beautiful & the weather is fabulous!!! I could live there forever. It's called "La Cuidad De Eterna Primavera" in English it means "The City of Eternal Spring" I most definitely can see why the climate is amazing!! I want to go next year for sure to visit my cousin's
Great video!. What a beautiful and vibrant city, so much diversity, experiences and off course delicious food!. Many museums and four world heritage sites within the city limits. Cheers Nicki!
I don't know if someone has told you below the name of those musical-wood-boxes, but they are called: "ORGANILLEROS". As I understand, the French immigrants brought this instrument to México. Excellent video Nicki in a sunny beautiful day!!! 👍👍🤝🤗😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Magnificent job! Best video of the city and great info. The music boxes they wind up were popular centuries ago. They have disappeared in America and Europe decades ago. You could find d them in previous revolutionary Cuba. If I'm not mistaken they are called ORGANILLERO (split it to help pronounce it: or-ga-ni-lle-ro).
Hola Nicky luv your videos,well prepare and informative plus with the most sweetest voice you have make me watch more of tus videos. You sound like a pro national geographic narrator with a cute voice. 👍
I am sure I passed by the first one when I was on a bus going to Queretaro, many years ago. I wished I could have gotten out and seen it it looked beautiful.
Hi Nicki. I ran into your channel by accident. This is the very first time I watch your videos. I like your style: its fresh and unpretentious. It's clear that you did some research about the sites shown in the video and that's something I appreciate as a viewer. Many times I have watched videos of other travel bloggers and sadly many of them do not make the effort to read about the history of Mexico City and of Mexico in general. So, kudos for that. In the name of accuracy I'd like to clarify a couple of points: most of the decoration used in the Postal Palace was brought from Italy, specifically from Florence. Secondly, the "Blue tiles Palace" was built in the 17th century and it was the home of a Spanish Earl whose name I don't remember right now. It was never owned by Hernan Cortes. Great work. Keep sharing more videos, please. Hasta luego
I congratulate you for your excellent cultural level and especially for your excellent recording with 2 different cameras, the quality of the video is perfect in both cameras and the incredible stability, at first I thought you were using a 360 camera but I was surprised to read that you use 2 cameras
Por cierto el instrumento de manivela que mencionas se llama Organillo y el que lo ejecuta se llama organillero y en efecto son de ese tiempo que comentas llegaron a México durante el mandato de Porfirio Díaz directamente de Alemania y en su gran mayoría son de la marca Wagner & Levien, además de lo hermosos que son pueden llegar a pesar más de 50 Kg. Y por lo antiguos sus piezas son muy costosas traerlas de Alemania así que en muchos casos tienen que fabricarlas aquí mismo con puro ingenio mexicano, de hecho algunos alemanes comentan que desconocen totalmente el origen de este instrumento pues algunos creen que es originario de aquí lo cual resulta muy gracioso, en fin no me imagino un día en el Zócalo o en mi Coyoacán sin los organilleros y su bella música por eso siempre que puedo les doy algo de $. Saludos Güerita!!!
Well, most presidents of Mexico have been mestizos. Benito Juárez was just more indigenous looking than others, but Porfirio Diaz had an indigenous mother too. Mexicans tend not to over obsess with race issues.
That's right bro, most mexicans (roughly 90%) are mestizos, that's why we don't care about race as much as people from other countries, we just identify ourselves as "mexican", whether we are more caucasian or more indigenous looking.
Excelente video güerita, de verdad que tienes muy buen contenido y algo queme gusta mucho es que de verdad te informas muy bien, te felicito acá tienes un nuevo suscriptor!!!

So cool. Very nice job. So Mexico isn't a bunch of poor dusty villages like Hollywood insists in portrays in every movie.
One of America's biggest geopolitical (AKA imperialist) assets is Hollywood; through Hollywood USA controls the world's perception of itself, always to the benefit of the USA and its Western Euro partners. Luckily a new world is dawning with China far-surpassing USA's development and quality of life, while the U.S. continues to waste money on its military-industrial complex. China's strategy is to make friends, USAs is to make enemies.
It is. Point is we are both, and no, I have no issue to admit it because we are still developing.
@@WalksandSuch You sir must have no damn idea of politics if you really think China is about 'doing friends'. They are just like the US or even worst.
There are many Cities in Mexico that are absolutely beautiful & have very modern architectural buildings that are not even seen in the USA.. It is extremely rich in history as well as many historical building's.. Conveniently Hollywood never portrays Mexico in a positive way!!! It's a very modern City & offers lots of things to do

I believe that most of the organs being used in Mexico city are made in Berlin, Germany. Today, I think that these organs can only be found at the museums in Germany. For some strange reason, they're still playing these boxes in Mexico. I haven't seen them in any other country. Your video is informative! Did you know that an estimate of 700,000 Americans call Mexico City home? They are more than 2M Americans living all over Mexico in a permanent basis and during winter the number could go higher.

Debido al tamaño de esta ciudad, la mayor parte del agua que se usa en la Ciudad de México es traída desde estados aledaños a través del sistema Cutzamala considerado como una de las 10 grandes obras de ingeniería hidráulica del mundo por la capacidad de enviar millones de litros continuamente para más de 20 millones de personas, sin ese sistema la ciudad colapsa en menos de una semana. Los pozos subterráneos solo son para algunos puntos de la ciudad, especialmente el oriente pero el problema del hundimiento de la ciudad viene desde la época colonial, muchos edificios históricos se han logrado salvar gracias a las inyecciones de concreto en las cimentaciones y los métodos de construcción antisismicos, así se logró salvar la Catedral Metropolitana o el Palacio de Bellas Artes.
El sistema Cutzamala es fundamental para abastecer de agua a la CDMX y algunos municipios del Edomex pero provee solo un 40% del agua de la ciudad. El resto proviene de fuentes como manantiales subterráneos del Lerma y del Valle de México. La cantidad de agua extraída de pozos no es marginal y empeora el hundimiento. En donde había lagos se formó un subsuelo muy peculiar compuesto de mucha agua y un tipo de arcilla muy fina formando una estructura similar a las celdas de un panal de abejas. Al poner una estructura muy pesada o extraer agua, las celdas se colapsan y se producen hundimientos. El problema se agudiza porque el agua de lluvia se va al drenaje en vez de recargar los suelos.
And yeah, the zocalo, the National Palace and the city looks better at night.
lady, you made an incredible video, very rich in information about the history of Mexico City. Incredibly, a lot of people do not know the history of these interesting buildings. Güerita Greetings
Thank you for the words, Jaime!
Very nice video. My wife and I are looking forward to spending a week in Mexico City come July.
Thank you Nicki, Mexico loves you!!

Taxco is also another lovely & historic city know as the capital of Silver Definitely buy some there.. Extremely reasonably priced & many shops to chose from. I want to go back myself next year.. We were there in March of 2018.. Enjoy if you get to go!!
Beautiful video. The instrumet (little box) is called cilindro and the man that plays it is called cilindrero. They used to hsve a monkey alive that helped the player. Also the first cathedral built in lstin america is in Mérida Yucatán. You should come visit.
Co gratulations on your video
Great Tour Virtual:) Great video. Thanks for sharing.
By the way, I love your videos. We learn New things even We are from México. Blessings. Greetings from Anaheim, CA. Im from Cuernavaca, Morelos.
Thank you so much Cruz! And you're right, after a couple of days I got used to the altitude. By the way, Cuernavaca is an absolutely beautiful city and I will be sure to visit it sometime soon!
My Cousin's live in Cuernavaca, Morelos.. My husband, son's & I were there March 2018 Absolutely beautiful & the weather is fabulous!!! I could live there forever. It's called "La Cuidad De Eterna Primavera" in English it means "The City of Eternal Spring" I most definitely can see why the climate is amazing!! I want to go next year for sure to visit my cousin's
Best video by far of historic walk
Great video!. What a beautiful and vibrant city, so much diversity, experiences and off course delicious food!. Many museums and four world heritage sites within the city limits.
Cheers Nicki!
Thank you for the comment! And yes, there is nothing better than a culturally-rich and vibrant city with good food!
I don't know if someone has told you below the name of those musical-wood-boxes, but they are called: "ORGANILLEROS". As I understand, the French immigrants brought this instrument to México. Excellent video Nicki in a sunny beautiful day!!! 👍👍🤝🤗😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great tour of the historic center of Mexico City. Thanks for this.
Magnificent job! Best video of the city and great info. The music boxes they wind up were popular centuries ago. They have disappeared in America and Europe decades ago. You could find d them in previous revolutionary Cuba. If I'm not mistaken they are called ORGANILLERO (split it to help pronounce it: or-ga-ni-lle-ro).
Hola Nicky luv your videos,well prepare and informative plus with the most sweetest voice you have make me watch more of tus videos. You sound like a pro national geographic narrator with a cute voice. 👍
Thank you so much! This comment means a lot to me 😭
Hola me gustó,tu paseo por Bellas Artes ,madero y centro Histórico
I am sure I passed by the first one when I was on a bus going to Queretaro, many years ago. I wished I could have gotten out and seen it it looked beautiful.
astonishing city
Welcome to México. I hope that you like this country
Thank you Emmanuel. Mexico is beautiful and I am surely enjoying my stay!
EXCELENTE VIDEO , Y GRACIAS POR PROMOVER NUESTRA CIUDAD .
Después de la oficina postal te faltó el Munal, lugar donde hicieron la primera película de " the Librarian" y el caballito.
You have a beautiful voice when you sing .
You're too sweet, Julio 😊
Beautiful video very nice 👍🏽 but when you get to the zocalo you return to the Past you can feel it
You're right, Mexico city is as mystical as it is beautiful.
Nicki. I love your videos, from A Mexican living in Boston, never been in Mexico city, im dying to go!!
Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Luis. I am glad you like my videos!
Hi Nicki. I ran into your channel by accident. This is the very first time I watch your videos. I like your style: its fresh and unpretentious. It's clear that you did some research about the sites shown in the video and that's something I appreciate as a viewer. Many times I have watched videos of other travel bloggers and sadly many of them do not make the effort to read about the history of Mexico City and of Mexico in general. So, kudos for that. In the name of accuracy I'd like to clarify a couple of points: most of the decoration used in the Postal Palace was brought from Italy, specifically from Florence. Secondly, the "Blue tiles Palace" was built in the 17th century and it was the home of a Spanish Earl whose name I don't remember right now. It was never owned by Hernan Cortes. Great work. Keep sharing more videos, please. Hasta luego
Daniel, I really appreciate the comment and all the helpful information you shared! 🤗
BEAUTIFUL MY CITY!!! GREETINGS!!! ❤️
Seams like a nice city
Hi! I would so love to visit Mexico City. Where is your accent from?
I ❤️ México
Welcome to Mexico!, I see you like art & architecture, I suggest to visit "Museo Casa Luis Barragan" and El nido de Quetzalcoatl" they're amazing
Thank you for the suggestion! 😊
Unbelievable city
I congratulate you for your excellent cultural level and especially for your excellent recording with 2 different cameras, the quality of the video is perfect in both cameras and the incredible stability, at first I thought you were using a 360 camera but I was surprised to read that you use 2 cameras
Thank you for your words 😊
Wow! You know a lot of our history. I hope you had a good time
Por cierto el instrumento de manivela que mencionas se llama Organillo y el que lo ejecuta se llama organillero y en efecto son de ese tiempo que comentas llegaron a México durante el mandato de Porfirio Díaz directamente de Alemania y en su gran mayoría son de la marca Wagner & Levien, además de lo hermosos que son pueden llegar a pesar más de 50 Kg. Y por lo antiguos sus piezas son muy costosas traerlas de Alemania así que en muchos casos tienen que fabricarlas aquí mismo con puro ingenio mexicano, de hecho algunos alemanes comentan que desconocen totalmente el origen de este instrumento pues algunos creen que es originario de aquí lo cual resulta muy gracioso, en fin no me imagino un día en el Zócalo o en mi Coyoacán sin los organilleros y su bella música por eso siempre que puedo les doy algo de $. Saludos Güerita!!!
Well, most presidents of Mexico have been mestizos. Benito Juárez was just more indigenous looking than others, but Porfirio Diaz had an indigenous mother too. Mexicans tend not to over obsess with race issues.
That's right bro, most mexicans (roughly 90%) are mestizos, that's why we don't care about race as much as people from other countries, we just identify ourselves as "mexican", whether we are more caucasian or more indigenous looking.
Excelente video güerita, de verdad que tienes muy buen contenido y algo queme gusta mucho es que de verdad te informas muy bien, te felicito acá tienes un nuevo suscriptor!!!
Muchas gracias!
No entendi todo pero se ve que eres una persona muy dulce e inteligente me caiste muy bien Vere ma's videos tuyos
Boxes are called Organ Grinders. First appeared in Italy. Saw them in Chicago until the mid 1950's.
Mexico city - tenochtitlan It was for a long time the most important city of two empires, the Aztec and the Spanish, a city with a lot of history.
Hello, visit the forest of Chapultepec, it has a royal castle. (Castillo de chapultepec)
Yes, I walked that place when I was a kid, I took it from granted, not a big deal at those times, but I think I'm in love now, with the place but specially with you, you are beautiful, thank you.
