Mexico City
By some counts Mexico City is the largest city in the western hemisphere, with over 20 million people. In Mexico, this capitol city is referred to as "D.F.", the Distrito Federal (Federal District), or simply as "México".

Monumento a la Revolución
The Monumento a la Revolución is a mix of styles — an enormous stone art deco
arch with a glass elevator rising to the center from the street below. Paying
for a ride to the top gives access to great views of Mexico City.
The sidewalk below contains a hidden fountain that periodically sprays surprise blasts of water.
