Mexico City Main Square among the Top 20 Sites to Visit in the World

Mexico City Main Square among the Top 20 Sites to Visit in the World


Mexico, Dec 21 (Prensa Latina) The ice rink at the Zocalo, the main square in central Mexico City, is considered by the magazine National Geographic Traveler among the best 20 places in the world to visit this winter, the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion reported today.

The institution highlighted the importance of this project, which allows thousands of people to go skating for free on three rinks, sliding down two slides or traveling through two frozen paths.

One thousand people per hour are assisted every day, and they have calculated that one million people would come to this place the current year, the entity said.

Every year, the Mexico City government sets this ice rink, which will remain open until January 8, at the Constitution Square at the Zocalo.

In this place, located in the historic center of the capital city, there are emblematic buildings, such as former City Hall Palace and the Government Palace.
