Mexico City — Ancient Empire, Modern Metropolis

Mexico City is one of the world's great capitals — a megacity of 22 million people built on the ruins of the Aztec empire's sacred city of Tenochtitlan. It boasts more museums than any other city on earth, a culinary scene that has earned it a coveted spot in global gastronomy rankings, magnificent colonial architecture, and neighborhoods from ultra-modern Polanco to bohemian Roma-Condesa that feel like entirely different cities.

Travel Tips for Mexico City

Essential advice from travellers who've been there

01
Altitude is 2,240m — allow a day to acclimatize before heavy activity.
02
Eat tacos from street vendors — they're safer than they look and far better than restaurants.
03
Use Uber exclusively — street taxis carry safety risks for tourists.
04
The city's cuisine scene rivals New York and Tokyo; book Pujol or Quintonil months ahead.
