Mexico City (Ciudad de México, CDMX) is one of the Western Hemisphere's most important megacities, home to over 22 million people in its metropolitan area and serving as the political, economic, and cultural capital of Mexico. It operates on Central Time — CST (UTC-6) in standard time and CDT (UTC-5) during Daylight Saving Time. Mexico City is built on the ancient bed of Lake Texcoco, where the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán stood until Spanish conquistadors razed it in 1521. The city is literally sinking — subsiding at rates of up to 20 cm per year in some neighborhoods — due to groundwater extraction from the soft lake sediments below. The Templo Mayor ruins, discovered in 1978 during electrical works, sit at the heart of the modern city. Mexico City's Benito Juárez International Airport is one of Latin America's busiest, though a massive new airport (NAICM) is under construction. The city has the highest number of museums per capita in the world.
