Welcome to
Mexico City
Mexico
Mexico City is one of the great metropolises of the Americas — a 3,000-year-old cultural powerhouse sitting at 2,240 metres above sea level. Built on the ruins of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlán, the city layers pre-Hispanic pyramids, colonial cathedrals, and modernist murals by Diego Rivera into a dense, exhilarating urban canvas. Its food scene is among the world's best, from tacos al pastor eaten at midnight street stalls to avant-garde tasting menus in Polanco, and its art, music, and neighbourhood culture make it endlessly rewarding to explore.
