Mexico City

Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, is a sprawling metropolis that blends centuries of history with modern urban life. Sitting at an altitude of roughly 2,240 meters (7,350 feet) in the Valley of Mexico, it is one of the largest cities in the world, home to over 20 million people in its metropolitan area. The city’s rich history dates back to the Aztec civilization, with Tenochtitlán once occupying its central area. Today, traces of this ancient past coexist with colonial architecture, such as the magnificent Metropolitan Cathedral and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, alongside contemporary skyscrapers and bustling commercial districts. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is full of museums, plazas, and churches that reflect Mexico City’s layered cultural heritage, while neighborhoods like Coyoacán and San Ángel retain a more traditional, colorful charm with cobblestone streets, artisan markets, and lively cultural festivals.

Mexico City is also a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and gastronomy, offering an eclectic mix of traditional Mexican cuisine and international flavors. The city hosts world-class museums like the National Museum of Anthropology, which houses treasures from pre-Columbian civilizations, and contemporary art spaces such as the Museo Tamayo. Outdoor life thrives in expansive parks such as Chapultepec, one of the largest urban parks in the world, which contains a zoo, museums, and botanical gardens. The city’s neighborhoods pulse with music, nightlife, and street culture, from mariachi bands at Plaza Garibaldi to bustling markets like La Merced. Despite its size and density, Mexico City’s urban fabric is punctuated with plazas, canals, and tree-lined avenues, creating a dynamic environment that seamlessly blends history, modernity, and vibrant daily life.
