We went over to the Belle Artes museum but the line was crazy long so we decided to head over to the Zocalo. The Christmas trees there looked like throw aways. It felt so weird to see this decadence after 2 weeks in Cuba. Christmas season was near so they were putting up a fanciful tree. We first stopped at the magnificent Post Office. If a person wanted to get off and enter at the same spot, the Belle Artes would be a reasonable place. We got off near the Post Office, but there are several other stops one could use. The bus was nearly empty and we drove by many full bus stops but the locals were all waiting for the 5 peso buses. We were told to buy the tickets at the airport on a non-refundable 20 peso metro card but it appeared we would have been able to pay cash on the bus. The cost is 30 pesos (about $1.50 each way). It is possible to catch the subway to the center of the city, but I highly recommend taking the blue metro bus. Here are the details on how to spend a long layover in Mexico City.
