If you travel to shop, then a visit to Mexico City's Polanco district should be a must-do on your list. This area is known for its high-end shopping and designer stores as well as trendy boutique shops. Make your way to Presidente Masaryk, the main shopping drag, and you'll feel as if you're on LA's Rodeo Drive. Along with names like Armani, Luis Vuitton, Gucci and Christian Dior, this street also houses plenty of upscale restaurants and sidewalk cafes perfect for lunching or dining out.

Head to the city's Zona Rosa (Pink Zone) district for an enjoyable afternoon of shopping. Here, you'll come across a wealth of small boutiques and trendy shops that offer one-of-a-kind goods. Antique stores, craft shops and the occasional street vendor are earmarks of this fashionable area that's also filled with happening clubs, cafes and eateries. The well-known Mercado Insurgentes, a handicraft haven, is also located in the Pink Zone.
