But that doesn't matter: the city's must-see attractions are concentrated within a few hundred metres of each other, including the <strong>cathedral<\/strong> and the <strong>Zocalo<\/strong>Mexico City's main square, or the <strong>Palacio de Bellas Artes<\/strong> and the frescoes of Diego Rivera. Continuing along the Paseo de la Reforma, the <strong>museum of anthropology<\/strong> is one of the most beautiful in the world.
