Information
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.
