About Mexico City

Aztec ruins, Frida Kahlo and some of the world's best street food

Mexico City is a giant, high-altitude capital built on the ruins of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. Its Zócalo, museums, markets and neighbourhoods like Coyoacán and Roma are among the richest in Latin America.

The food is a big draw, from street tacos to fine dining, and the pyramids of Teotihuacan are a short day trip away.

Best time
March to May and October to November. The rainy season (June to September) brings short afternoon storms; the city sits at 2,240 metres, so allow time to adjust.
How long
Three to four days.
Getting around
The metro is cheap and efficient but crowded; ride-hailing apps are easy and safe. Many sights are in walkable neighbourhoods.
