"Ancient Aztec Empire Meets World-Class Modern Metropolis"

Mexico City (CDMX) is one of the world's great capitals — a sprawling, vibrant metropolis built on the ruins of the ancient Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. Wander the UNESCO-listed historic center, visit the monumental Palacio de Bellas Artes, explore the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan just an hour away, and float through the ancient chinampas of Xochimilco. Mexico City boasts one of the world's most celebrated food scenes, with everything from Michelin-starred restaurants to legendary street tacos. Neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa pulse with cafe culture and street art.
