5 Reasons to Visit Mexico City

Each and every year, a new place crops up in the World that gains momentum as a popular destination for tourists. One such place that has been steadily growing in popularity in recent years is Mexico City, the capital of Mexico and a lively cosmopolitan metropolis.
There are so many reasons why Mexico City is a great place to visit and we have put together just five reasons why it is time that you considered the city as a holiday destination.
The Food
Whatever you think you know about Mexican food is probably wrong, the version that is put out to the World is usually the Tex-Mex variety. The good news is that true Mexican food is far better than anything you are likely to have tasted and the style of cuisine is even better. In the city you will find street vendors littered on every street and corner of the city selling some of the finest local food. Couple that with the amazing restaurants here selling both local and international cuisine, and you have one of the hottest places in the World to eat.
The History
The mesoamerican culture here goes back thousands and thousands of years and features incredible tribes such as the Mayans and the Aztecs. You can witness all of the history right here in Mexico City in places like the Anthropology museum, widely considered as the biggest collection of mesoamerican artifacts in the World. You will also be able to see ruins in Plaza de Tres Culturas and the cherry on the cake is the incredible ancient city of Teotihuacan with its two impending pyramids, one of which is the third highest in the World. For historians, Mexico City is a great place to explore.
The Museums
Mexico City has more museums than any other city in the World and they cover a broad range of topics. Historical museums such as the museum of Anthropology in Chapultepec, art museums such as the National Museum and the houses of Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera and financial museums such as the Interactive Museum of Economics. If you love museums then this is the perfect city for you.
