In the last few weeks, wind has been blowing in Distrito Federal cleaning the sky, letting us contemplate the volcanoes and the mountains that surround the city. Coming from the airport, you can even see the Paso de Cortés, the saddle that links the Popocatépetl and the Iztaccíhuatl–as a reminder of the romantic legend that explains why these two volcanoes sit one beside the other.

Although it is true that the Torre Latinoamericana and the Torre Mayor are great spots to see the whole city, Macha Mexico recently found another place that is somehow neglected when it is about watching Mexico City’s skyline. The place is a restaurant called Bellini’s, located at the 45th floor of World Trade Center on Avenida Insurgentes.

To be honest, the food is pricey and not good. However, you can certainly order an appetizer, maybe a drink and enjoy the view. The restaurant (or whatever machine makes it spin) takes around an hour and forty-five minutes to get back to the starting point. We mind you that, depending on what time you arrive, you will find businessmen, straight couples or families. If this is not your first time in Mexico City you will certainly find some amusement identifying different ares of the city. Don’t forget a camera, and maybe a map to orient yourself from above…!

Bellini’s, Mexico World Trade Center , Montecito 38, 45th floor, Col. Nápoles. Monday to Saturday from 1pm to 2 am. Sundays from 9am to 11pm. Poliforum Metrobus station.
