Visitors arriving at the
airport can pick up limited
tourist
information at the booth
in Sala A. Everyone else
will find it handier to use
one of several kiosks dotted
around town, none of which
have much in the way of
printed matter to take away,
though the staff are usually
well versed in the ways of
the city. The largest and
most useful is in the
Zona
Rosa , Amberes 54 at
Londres (daily 9am-7pm; tel
5525-9380; Metro Insurgentes),
but there is also a small
office on the south side of
the
Alameda at Juárez
66 (daily 9am-7pm; tel
5518-1003; Metro Bellas
Artes), and a sporadically
open kiosk in the
Zócalo
between the cathedral and
Monte de Piedad (Metro
Zócalo).
The SECTUR office at
Presidente Mazaryk 172,
Polanco (Mon-Fri 8am-5pm,
Sat 10am-3pm; tel 5250-0123,
or from elsewhere in the
country call 1-800/903-9200;
Metro Polanco), is perfectly
helpful but inconveniently
sited a long way from where
you are likely to spend your
time.
Useful local guidebooks
, city maps (the best
produced by Guia Roji),
English-language magazines
and pulp paperbacks are sold
at Sanborn's and in many big
hotels. Free publications,
such as The Gazer and
Concierge , listing
restaurants, bars and
nightclubs, are available at
larger hotels and some
restaurants.
