Things to see and do in Mexico

This cultural metropolis offers dramatic murals, ancient ruins and classical architecture. The Aztecs founded Mexico City in 1325 as Tenochtitlan. Later the city was conquered by the Spaniards and rebuilt. Today, the mountain-surrounded city is a busy metropolis with 20

million inhabitants. It’s a melting pot of European and indigenous culture, glorious Aztec ruins, classical European architecture, an established art scene and spicy delicacies. Walk down Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s version of the Champs-Élysées, home to a monument with a golden statue of the Angel of Independence. This wide street connects the National Palace with the Palace of Chapultepec (Castillo de Chapultepec), a hilltop estate overlooking the city.

Guadalajara

History. Culture. Cuisine.

The intriguing architecture, Mariachi music and mouth-watering cuisine will make you fall in love with one of Mexico’s largest cities. Many praise this second largest city in Mexico, not only the cradle of Mariachi and tequila but also a modern, cultural city with extensive shopping

centres and urban parks and stately historic buildings. Guadalajara is the capital of the central Mexican state of Jalisco, and this sprawling metropolis is home to some 4.5 million people. Wide streets and modern office buildings characterize the highly developed city and show a rich cultural identity. Visit the 17th-century Catedral Metropolitana (Catedral Basílica de la Asunción de María Santísima), a striking building with Gothic Revival towers.

Puebla

History. Architecture. Cuisine.

One of the oldest cities in Mexico fascinates visitors with its Spanish colonial buildings, creative cuisine and artistic atmosphere. Puebla lies in a former Spanish colony with more than 2000 historical buildings in a valley between four volcanoes. Admire the authentic facades covered

with Talavera tiles, Baroque churches decorated with statues of angels, richly decorated towers and colonial mansions. Puebla was founded in 1531. In the heart of the Old Town is the Zócalo, the central rectangular square that has been there since the early years. Start your visit in the lively square. Every day thousands of people from the area come here to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Street musicians play folk music, street vendors sell their wares, and cafes and shops are good business.

Cancún

Naure. Beaches. Cuisine.

Enjoy ancient Mayan temples, the world’s second-longest coral reef, endless beaches and even longer nights in this Yucatán city. This Caribbean Sea city on Mexico’s southeast coast is particularly popular with divers, fishers, history buffs, and fun-seekers. Cancún has been a

popular tourist destination since the 1980s, but it is no longer just for partygoers. With its extensive water sports facilities, the history and culture of the Mayans, Mexico and the Caribbean, Cancún is a suitable destination for all kinds of holidaymakers. Cancún is located on the Yucatán Peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico. Just off the shoreline is a massive coral reef that hosts some of the best dive sites in Mexico. Go snorkelling straight from the beach in Playa Tortugas to admire the colourful fish and plant species underwater.

Baja California Sur

Nature. Cuisine. Beaches.

From the surreal desert landscapes in the north to the sensational cities in the south. This state has both culture and natural beauty. Located in the southern part of the Baja California Peninsula, the most obvious draw is its beautiful coastline. Head to the beach to relax on the

white sand, enjoy water sports and climb the huge rocks that rise from the water. If you want to get active, go kayaking, diving or snorkelling in Parque Nacional Cabo Pulmo. The shallow bay is teeming with colourful marine life and is one of only three living coral reefs in North America. Stately, mountains and desert regions stretch as far as the eye can see. For more natural beauty, head to the desert landscapes and the extraordinary, green lagoons of Desierto de El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, one of the largest reserves in Latin America. Go mountain biking, hiking and camping here.

Oaxaca

Pacific Ocean. The rugged and densely forested Valles Centrales are an essential centre for indigenous cultures, with the Zapotec and Mixtec being the most notable. Explore the highly cultural cities, enjoy regional cuisine and learn about the remarkable biodiversity of the state’s fauna and flora in its nature reserves. Oaxaca’s capital of the same name is an excellent place to start your adventure. The old town area of the bustling city of Oaxaca is adorned with ornate colonial architecture, beautiful religious monuments and leafy plazas.

beautiful coastline. The capital Mérida and the surrounding towns are great places to enjoy impressive architecture and scenic landscapes and enjoy fantastic entertainment options. Visit Chichén Itzá to admire the ruins of an ancient Mayan civilization. This is one of the most visited archaeological areas in Mexico, and some of the structures have been restored with great care. Take a look at the ball game field and the stone temples. Of course, you can’t avoid taking a look at the world-famous pyramid. Many people choose to stay overnight here and visit the excavations early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and the heat during the day.
