The nightlife in here is the best. Go preferably on the weekend because it is when there is a better environment. We definitely recommend Coco Bongo that besides being a nightclub they also give a show and there is always a special theme; Spiderman, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, The Mask and more!

If you are a calmer person and you don’t like the blowout so much, several museums are worth a visit. Among them is Frida Khalo Museum which is located on 5th Avenue, the Underwater Museum, and the 3D Museum. You will have fun and learn a lot in addition to the fact that the costs of all three are completely accessible.
