Mexico’s capital is the largest city in Central America, a sprawling metropolis that can be a bit dizzying, not least because it stands at 2,000m above sea level. A luxury vacation to Mexico City is packed with colonial architecture, as well as vibrant nightlife and dining options, world-class shopping and the country’s top hotels.
The Best of Mexico City
The city is divided into 16 boroughs (delegaciones) and hundreds of neighbourhoods, with the Centro Histórico as its historic heart. Old European buildings and cobblestone streets surround the Plaza de la Constitución, one of the world’s largest squares, where you can try the city’s celebrated street food.
The city’s upscale neighbourhoods include Polanco, Santa Fe and the vibrant San Angel. A sultry, Latin American nightlife ignites these districts, and you can enjoy gourmet Mexican cuisine at the fashionable rooftop-style restaurants found here, visit a local theatre or browse San Angel’s charming artisan markets.
Mexico City is flanked by volcanic mountains, and its surroundings provide a wealth of day trips to color a luxury vacation in the city. To the north, ancient regions like Teotihuacán are home to remains from the Classic period, and to the south, the tranquil Xochimilco is a popular spot to escape the city's bustle. Covered in winding canals, you can enjoy relaxed lunch on a boat to the sound of marimba players.
