It depends on what you're looking for.

Polanco..... an upscale neighborhood with tons of shopping... malls, boutiques, etc.

Santa Fe... one of the largest malls in Mexico

Interlomas... very upscale

If you want to learn more about the history and heritage of Mexico:

The Anthropology Museum
Templo Mayor
Teotihuacan (near Mexico City) where you can see pyramids
Chapultepec Castle

Don't forget to ride the Turibus (hop-on, hop-off double-decker)

Sorry i can't help you out with bars, clubs, etc.

I have actually lived there and the coolest place i have been would be the archaeological site of Tenochtitlan, the capital city of the Aztec civilization. When you visit this place, you will become another person.
but if you want to visit someplace that does not require a lot of transportation, got to the Zocalo, Mexico city's downtown, although there are a million more places to visit in Mexico city, these two are my favorites.

Attractions

The National Museum of Anthropology.Famous landmarks in Mexico City include the Zócalo (officially Constitution Square), the main central square with its time clashing Spanish-era Metropolitan Cathedral and Palacio Nacional, and ancient Aztec temple ruins Templo Mayor are all within a few steps of one another. (The Templo Mayor was discovered in 1978 while workers were digging to place underground electric cables.) The trademark golden Angel of Independence found on the wide, elegant avenue Paseo de la Reforma, modeled by the order of the Emperor Maximilian of Mexico after the Champs-Élysées in Paris. The Avenida de los Insurgentes, locally said to be the longest street in the world, goes 28.8 km (18 miles) from end to end of the city.


The Torre Mayor, seen from the Chapultepec CastleThe Chapultepec park houses the Chapultepec Palace museum on a hill that overlooks the park and its numerous museums, monuments and the national zoo; the National Museum of Anthropology (which houses the Aztec Calendar Stone), the Bellas Artes Fine Arts Palace which is a stunning white marble theater/museum whose weight is such that it has gradually been sinking into the soft ground below, the Plaza of the Three Cultures in the Tlatelolco neighborhood, and the shrine and Basilicas of Our Lady of Guadalupe. There is a double decker bus known as the "Turibus" that circles most of these sites, and has timed audio describing the sites in multiple languages as they are passed.

In addition, the city has around 160 museums, over 100 art galleries, and some 30 concert halls. In many locales (The Palacio Nacional and the Instituto Nacional de Cardiología to name a few), there are murals by Diego Rivera. He and his wife Frida Kahlo lived in the southern suburb of Coyoacán, where several of their homes, studios, and collections are open to the public. Nearby is the house of Leon Trotsky, where he was murdered in 1940. In 1983 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built the scenic Mexico City Mexico Temple here because of the large number of members in the area.

In addition there are several restored Haciendas that are now restaurants such as the San Angel Inn, Hacienda de Tlalpan and the Hacienda de los Morales, all of which are stunning remnants of Mexican glory and house some of the best food in the world.

Pyramid of the sun and Pyramid of the moon (Teotihuacan).
