    A thriving metropolis of culture, cuisine and history

    Mexico’s capital is one of the world’s truly great cities. It’s a thriving modern metropolis and one of the world’s major economies; a cultural powerhouse and top destination for foodies. It’s got a long and complex history which makes it an endlessly fascinating place to explore, but it’s also very much a city looking to the future and its buzz is undeniably contagious. Go exploring, immerse yourself in the culture here, sample excellent local cuisine and learn more about Mexico’s history.

    Modern-day Mexico City is built on the ruins of the ancient Aztec city of Tenochtitlán, which itself was built on an island on Lake Texcoco. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th century, they destroyed Tenochtitlán, drained the lake and built their new city. By the early 19th century, the population had boomed and the city began to morph into the metropolis we know today.

    It has so much to offer, from cultural experiences to annual celebrations and local art festivals, and with a good guide it’s an exceptionally rewarding place to visit. It’s home to world-class museums, among them the Soumaya Museum with over 60,000 pieces of Central American and European art, the iconic Palacio de Bellas Artes, and the mind-boggling Museo Nacional de Antropología. When it comes to eating, drinking and culinary tours, you’re spoiled for choice. Whether you’re grabbing tacos from a street stall, taking a seat at one of the world’s best restaurants or sipping margaritas while watching the sun set over the skyline, dining here is always exciting. And take that gastronomic experience to the next level with a cooking class or two, learning how to work with local ingredients and time-honoured recipes.

    Highlights

    Discover the ancient and sustainable agricultural marvel of Xochimilco’s chinampas on a unique nature experience. Explore these floating gardens, learn about agroecology and savour a traditional farm-to-table lunch.

    Visit the Anthropology Museum to see one of the world’s largest collections of archaeological and anthropological artifacts from prehispanic Mayan civilisations to the Spanish conquest.

    Step into the heart of Mexico City for a guided exploration that blends open-air beauty with iconic art. Begin your journey in Alameda Central and end at Museo Mural Diego Rivera.

    Mexico City is a capital with a life of its own. Colourful marked hilltops as far as the eye can see, sprawl to the far reaches of the city.  Exquisite restaurants and soulful markets offer excellent Mexican cuisine.  Modernity sits side by side with its colonial heritage, the city is captivating and the vivacious spirit makes it a must for a visit to Mexico.

    When to visit

    Mexico is a vast country and the climate can differ greatly across the regions. The best time to visit is usually between the shoulder and summer months (November to May), when there are long sunny days, and little to no rainfall. The cooler months (December to February) are still fine for travelling, however it’s also the wet season and rains are common.
