Mexico City, Mexico Travel Guide
Aztec capital, world-class food
Why visit Mexico City
One of the world’s largest cities, built on an Aztec lake: the Zócalo, the Templo Mayor ruins and Diego Rivera’s National Palace murals anchor the historic centre. The food alone justifies the trip — tacos al pastor carved from a spit, quesadillas in Coyoacán and street stalls everywhere you turn. Add the canals of Xochimilco and a day trip to the Teotihuacán pyramids and the itinerary writes itself.
