Mexico City Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia

Mexico City – One of the financial powerhouses and cultural capitals of Latin America. Explore the colorful city here and start planning an adventure of your own!

#MexicoCity welcomes visitors to its warm cultural heart. A #vacation here should feature the Centro Histórico district, where 1500 heritage buildings vie for your attention, including museums and galleries.

Head to Chapultepec Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. Pay your respects to the Niños Heroes, a monument which honors the six boy soldiers who gave their lives defending Castillo de Chapultepec. Today, the castle serves as the National Museum of History. At Xochimilco, simply float away on a riot of color on the last of the city’s Aztec canals.

In the early 20th century the district’s artists, writers and intellectuals inspired not only Mexico, but the entire world. #Visit The Blue House, the birthplace of Frieda Kahlo, and the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, where these two giants of Mexican art worked, lived and loved.

For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

For all the foreigners visiting Mexico I'd like to give you a piece of advice. If you use the subway DO NOT carry your wallet/passport on your pockets. The subway is the easiest/fastest and cheapest way to move around the city and because of that there are lots of pickpokets. So my recommendation is: Have your belongings in a backpack and put it in front of your chest and hold to it when I'm the subway/bus - wearing it at the back is just as bad as having it in your pockets. I'm Mexican, I've traveled all around the world and I lived most of my life in there. And even though it's a wonderful city bad people can be found everywhere so please follow my advice and enjoy my country/city ❤️

I've lived in Canada and USA, but when I went to Mexico city for the fist time it felt magical and people treated me like family. The city has a Mixture of Indigenous, Spanish and French culture which makes it so unique.

As an American, I think this city is way better than anything we have over here.

I went to Mexico City at least 5 times and, every single time, I felt like home, it is chaotic but in a good way, it is vibrant, colorful and people are amazingly friendly

The most amazing and magical city. Rare to find a one stop city for culture, art, glamour, history, cuisine and the welcoming warmth of family. Viva Mexico!

When I went to Mexico in 2002 I really had a fun time. I remember being taken a back by how intelligent a young girl was (whom was around my age) and her ability to translate at a seafood restaurant. At the times, cartels were something I was oblivious too, seems like it is a common and ubiquitous to Americans nowadays in 2023.
