The largest bullring in the world is hosting bullfights again as of 2024. The spring season runs from January to March. New for 2024 are events for female matadors to demonstrate their skills (and yes, some of them do have pink capes).
The Plaza de toros México, situated in Mexico City, is the world's largest bullring. The 41,262-seat facility is usually dedicated to bullfighting, but many boxing matches have been held there as well, including Julio César Chávez's third and final bout with Frankie Randall on May 22, 2004. The Plaza México replaced the former Toreo de la Condesa bullring in the Condesa neighborhood that was overwhelmed by the rapid growth of population in the capital. It opened on 5 February 1946 and annually since then, that date marks the date of the Corrida de Aniversario. This building was built beside the football stadium Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.

Estadio Azul
Home of top tier (Liga MX) professional Mexican football (soccer) team, Cruz Azul. There is no parking available at the stadium.
Large urban greenspace that is popular with families on weekends. The park features about 50 reproductions of pre-Hispanic sculptures including a large Olmec head.
San Lorenzo Xochimanca
One of the oldest churches in Mexico City, this was built in the 16th century of brick and volcanic stone and is now a national monument.
Metro Museum
Attractive, fun, fascinating museum about the history and technology of the city's Metro system with exhibits chronicling how the subway has molded Chilango culture and identity.
It was built in the 17th century, and was extensively rebuilt in 1959 in a modernized colonial style using 20th century materials and techniques including concrete covered in stucco with inset blue bricks and a starkly elegant interior of plain wood.
Mixcoac Archaeological Site
These temple foundations are one of the sole surviving pre-Hispanic ruins from the Nahua settlement of Mixcoac. The site was inhabited from ca. 900 BCE until the Spanish conquest, and the temple was rebuilt by the Aztecs shortly before the Spanish arrival. The site is not generally open to the public, but can be viewed from the street, with the best vantage point from the elevated sidewalk along Anillo Periférico.
