MEXICO CITY · MEXICO

Mexico City (CDMX) isn’t just a stop on the map—it’s a living, breathing story where the past and present trade secrets over tacos and mezcal. One minute you’re standing in the shadow of Aztec ruins or marveling at a baroque cathedral, and the next you’re sipping craft coffee in a rooftop café overlooking a skyline dotted with murals and modern glass towers.

Wander through chaotic markets full of colors and chatter, then stumble into leafy plazas that feel like they pressed pause on the city’s pulse. Art here isn’t confined to museums (though the museums are world-class)—it spills onto walls, into music, and across dinner tables where street vendors and Michelin-star chefs both hold court. Mexico City doesn’t ask you to choose between old and new—it hands you both and dares you to keep up.
