"Considered an ultra-compact stroller, the Metro Plus didn’t miss a beat as it rolled along the Teotihuacan ruins and then a 45-minute drive later to the cobblestone paths of Mexico City’s famed market, Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela."
"Looking for traditional Mexican crafts and home wares, such as the beautifully colored, hand-painted bowls and plates you've eaten off of at so many restaurants? Head to La Ciudadela, an artists' market that for more than a century has drawn craftspeople from all over Mexico to sell their goods. In addition to kitchenware (handmade, blown glass swizzle sticks are a must-buy!), there are clothes, toys, and even musical instruments available for purchase. The market is big but not overwhelming, and bargaining is acceptable."
