Mexico City (Aka “CDMX”) and environs

Past and present, side by side. Glorious legend next to modern-day reality. Age-old traditions that inspire edgy new creation. In Mexico City you see clearly how classic and modern combine to make a love affair that lasts a lifetime. Its venerable, vibrant blocks (the city has stood more than seven centuries) are home to Mexico’s biggest financial, cultural and political happenings. Yes, it’s a metropolis where you’ll walk imposing boulevards studded with soaring, contemporary towers that indeed aspire to scrape the sky. But you’ll also lose yourself in the city’s older districts, where a rich indigenous and colonial vibe persists.

You’re at an epicenter of contrasts where Ancient Mexico’s colorful ruins mix marvelously with the most refined artistic and architectural expressions, in practically every centimeter of the city.

CDMX is one of the world’s largest and most populous cities. Yet time here flows in multiple directions. Aztec traces—still discoverable beneath current-day structures—have gained fame once unearthed as resplendent pyramids and other complex architecture. In other places—often atop pre-Hispanic sites—you marvel before churches, mansions and convents evincing early colonial Mexico’s wild fusion of the indigenous and the baroque. Beautiful, welcoming neighborhoods, like Coyoacán, San Ángel and Tlalpan, once suburban towns, have become colorful, retro outposts that tell great stories about Mexico’s centuries of historical development.

Like other great global cities, Mexico’s capital is an irresistible magnet and melting-pot for arts and culture. Quick note of its 188 museums (the second-highest number in Latin America) as well as 64 performing arts venues and 15 cultural centers plus seven nearby archaeological zones, stand as ample proof of the city’s cultural offering.

Its sophisticated scenes and international character have lent it a spirit of never-ending hubbub, packed with experiences, day and night. Add to that its huge variety of high-end hotels, restaurants and shopping adventures—something for every taste and preference—and soon enough you’ll encounter smiling faces and open arms that lead to everything you’re looking for in new experiences and lifelong memories.
