Flights to Mexico City
Mexico City is a unique destination that has much for the budding adventurer, with historic landmarks taking centre stage alongside modern developments. A kaleidoscope of experiences and colour, the capital of Mexico impresses visitors with stunning architecture and buzzing neighbourhoods.
The beating heart of Mexico City, Zócalo is one of the largest city squares in the world – and a focal point of Mexican history. Here, you’ll find the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral, a baroque masterpiece, and the ruins of the Templo Mayor, an ancient Aztec temple offering a glimpse into the city’s pre-Hispanic roots.
No trip to Mexico City would be complete without a visit to Chapultepec Park – the second largest city park in Latin America. Spanning 1,700 acres and split into three distinct sections, this exquisite landmark is punctuated by several peaceful lakes and fountains.
Within the grounds of the park’s ‘Primera Seccion’, the National Museum of Anthropology offers some of the world’s most remarkable collections of artefacts. The museum’s iconic Sun Stone and intricate displays of Mesoamerican art give an intriguing view into the rich history of Mexico’s past.
Opposite the Parque de la Ciudadela, another of Mexico City’s many green spaces, La Ciudadela Artisan Market allows shoppers a chance to buy authentic Mexican crafts and souvenirs handmade by artisans from across the country.
If you’re looking to take a break from the city’s hustle and bustle, a romantic boat ride along the Xochimilco canals is an extraordinary experience. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this area in the south comes to life thanks to a variety of colourful trajineras – a type of flat-bottomed boat. As you cruise up and down these historic waterways, enjoy the sound of live music as mariachi bands and xylophone players perform from their own trajineras.
In the north, the pyramids of Teotihuacan await keen explorers. This ancient city boasts the imposing Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon as well as the Avenue of the Dead. These incredible feats of ancient engineering provide unforgettable views of a civilisation that thrived centuries ago.
When it comes to dining, Mexico City has a unique mix of cuisines. From bustling street markets serving authentic tacos al pastor to restaurants offering contemporary takes on Mexican classics, the city’s culinary scene is as dynamic as its culture. Make sure you don’t leave without trying churros and hot chocolate at one of the city’s iconic cafés.
