Mexico City Maps and Orientation
(Mexico City, Federal District, Mexico, MX)



One of the world's biggest and most important cities, Mexico City is the country's enormous capital and home to a population approaching 20 million. Known locally as 'Ciudad de México', Mexico City encompasses the 'Federal District' (Distrito Federal) and this is generally abbreviated as simply D.F. and shown after the city name - Mexico City D.F.

Mexico City is a sprawling metropolis and the greater metropolitan area covers almost 60 different municipalities and around 350 neighbourhoods (colonias). Sited within the Valley of Mexico (Valley of Anáhuac) and on the former bed of the Lago de Texcoco lake, the city itself enjoys an especially scenic and fairly elevated setting in the very heart of Mexico and is known to have been established at the very beginning of the 14th century.
