Breakfast at the Gran Hotel in Mexico City

Dear Friend and Reader,


Today we visited The Gran Hotel in downtown Mexico City.
This hotel is jewelry located at the gran plaza (zocalo) in Mexico City.

If you get ever the chance to have a delicious breakfast in downtown Mexico City you should go to the Gran Hotel in 16 de Septiembre in Mexico’s great plaza called the Zocalo.

It is a real must go when you stay in the Capital of Mexico City. The prices are not too expensive for a buffet at the Terrace of that great Hotel. The view you have to the Zocalo is really gorgeous. It is a real beautiful view from the terrace to the Zocalo and the surrounding buildings.

You see the palacio nacional (National Palace), the cathedral, and if you visit the place on a Sunday morning you see the spectacle of the Indian dancers and the sound of drums all over the place.

After a good breakfast you go for a digestive walk at the Zocalo and see the spectacle from near.

If you come back after a long time to see the Zocalo it is a real attraction and you enjoy the walk and the time when you stay there. On Sunday many people walk through the streets nearby because they are closed to the cars and you can view the exhibition-windows of the great shops. Even on Sunday the shops are open and you really enjoy walking through and take a look to the merchandize without any hurry.

The time flies by and without notice it’s already time for lunch, but if you are in Mexico the lunch hour is later than anywhere else. The Mexican people like to lunch after 14:00hours.

Always remember that you breakfast light even if you enjoy of a buffet. In the afternoon you dine in the downtown area or even at the same hotel. If you like to change the taste than you also can go to another restaurant nearby.

Talk to you soon
