On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 5.Tacos al pastor & street food — Mexico City may be the best street-food city on earth, and the taco al pastor is its king — marinated pork shaved off a spit onto a warm tortilla with pineapple, coriander and salsa, for a euro or less. Eat standing at a taquería where the queue is longest; then work through quesadillas, tlacoyos and elote.
• 13.Roma & Condesa — The city's most delightful barrios for a wander — tree-lined streets of art-deco and beaux-arts villas, leafy parks like Parque México, independent bookshops, third-wave cafés and design shops. Do nothing in particular: stroll, brunch, browse, and feel why everyone wants to live here.
• 15.A mezcal cantina — Drink like a chilango — smoky mezcal or tequila sipped neat in an old-school cantina or a hip Roma mezcalería, with botanas (snacks) to share. From century-old wood-panelled bars to rooftop cocktails, the city's nightlife is deep and brilliant; start with a mezcal flight and let the night unfold.
