I think I spent in total about 6-7 weeks in La Ciudad de México on my 3 visits there. I was there before and after my visit in Malinalco in April/May 2018. I stayed with a friend in San Rafael, which I thought was quite a nice part of town.
I took plenty of photos while walking around as I could not use the Uber app on my phone and could not be bothered to use taxis most of the time. And I dislike the metro or bus because of too many people. So I walked a lot. When I took photos I had a series of drawings in mind about “people of Mexico City”…. Something that was inspired by those “Humans of New York” photos that were trending several years ago. This is is my take on it.
I think this was somewhere around Juárez, on the way to La Roma.
I recently watch an artists advice video that suggested that you should mirror your drawings. I guess to see if they look right. Here is the mirrored image, the right way round of CDMX.

Mexico City is supposed to be one of the most happening cities in the Western Hemisphere; I’d like to go there and visit some of the Aztec ruins some day.

It is quite an amazing place. I shamefully have to admit that I have never made it to the Aztec ruins though. Too busy to hang out in the city… But I have seen plenty of Mayan ruins!

It’s okay that you didn’t see any Aztec ruins; now you have a reason to go back!

No ruins for me either! Lots of Uber rides, lots of walking, and on the last full day a lot of subway rides! Its an impressively walkable city.
