Why Mexico City.

1. 1

   Mexico City is one of the world’s great capitals — the Zócalo and the unearthed Aztec Templo Mayor sit atop the ruins of Tenochtitlan itself.

2. 2

   Teotihuacan, an hour away, lets you climb the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon along the Avenue of the Dead — a pre-Aztec metropolis.

3. 3

   It is a global food capital — from Pujol and Quintonil on the World’s 50 Best list to tacos al pastor carved from the trompo at a street stand.

4. 4

   Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Coyoacán, the Anthropology Museum, and the canals of Xochimilco span the city’s art, history, and colour.

5. 5

   Polished neighbourhoods like Roma and Condesa — tree-lined, café-dense, art-deco — have made CDMX one of the most magnetic cities in the Americas.
