Mexico City

From the moment you touch down, you’ll know that the beating heart of Mexico lies in Mexico City. A modern, sophisticated metropolis that retains an aura of simplicity and tradition, a visit to Mexico City is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

There are barely enough hours in the day to capture all the delights of this cosmopolitan city. Enjoy the grandeur of Chapultepec Palace, one of the true marvels of Latin America. Lose yourself in the stunning architecture and monuments of the Paseo de la Reforma, a grand thoroughfare reminiscent of the Champs Elysees in Paris. See how the modern world integrates gracefully with the enchanted past at the floating gardens of Xochimilco.

Like the best world capitals, Mexico City offers hotels, dining, shopping and nightlife to suit every taste. What’s more, the museums and lively theaters are worth a visit in and of themselves.

Just one hour to the south is the charming city of Cuernavaca, where lush gardens of bougainvillea and natural heated springs resemble a veritable Garden of Eden. The city is built in the Spanish colonial style and was the residence of Hernan Cortes, the 16th century explorer and conquistador.
