Why Mexico City.
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.
Teotihuacan, an hour away, lets you climb the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon along the Avenue of the Dead — a pre-Aztec metropolis.
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.
Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Coyoacán, the Anthropology Museum, and the canals of Xochimilco span the city’s art, history, and colour.
Polished neighbourhoods like Roma and Condesa — tree-lined, café-dense, art-deco — have made CDMX one of the most magnetic cities in the Americas.
