5 Cities to Visit When in Mexico

Mexico: a country with delicious food, excellent tequila, and beautiful cities. Not only beautiful for their architecture, but for their amazing people, their customs and their invisible aura of peace and comfort. Although these cities are all different from each other, there is something they have in common: they will not disappoint you, and visiting them is a guarantee of enjoying a good destination.

Merida, Yucatan
If you love architecture, you will be absolutely in love with Merida. The colonial era, the Porfiriato and modernity combine in a warm and festive atmosphere. You can go for a walk in a Calandria – a horse-drawn carriage – until you walk through the streets during the sunset eating a marquesita. There are so many things to do and so much to see, that the day will fly away.

Mexico City, Federal District
An obligatory classic. It was founded in 1325, when it was formerly known as Tenochtitlán. What can you do here? Visit the Zocalo and its surroundings, where you will contemplate a rich architecture; visit the Paseo de la Reforma from the Porfiriato period, green areas such as Coyoacan or Chapultepec, the Palace of Fine Arts, or you can climb the Latin American Tower and observe the whole city.

Morelia, Michoacán
Morelia is a quiet and nostalgic city. When walking through its streets, it seems that time had never happened. It is a World Heritage Site since 199. The Historic Center is the most important square of the city, where you can visit the Saint Nicolas College, the Villalonguin Square, the Clavijero Palace, Plaza de Armas and the Aqueduct, which was built between 1728 and 1730. But beyond these places, a must-see in Morelia is a trip to the Callejon del Romance, a place with pink stone facades, flower beds and fountains, which will create the ideal environment for lovers.

Oaxaca of Juarez, Oaxaca
Take a Oaxacan chocolate from one of the cafes that overlook the Temple of Santo Domingo; eat a huge Tlayuda in the market; grab a mezcal in one of the small and quiet bars of the city. You can do all of this in the capital of this southern state. In addition, you will want to buy everything you find because everything is absolutely beautiful.

Puebla, Zaragoza
An absolutely beautiful city, whose architectonic vestiges have a baroque style in its majority. The Cathedral is undoubtedly one of its most important buildings. In this sense, a large part of the constructions has some ornaments of gold or gold plating. Another place you can visit is Calle de los Dulces, famous for offering typical sweets of the city such as jamoncillos, cocadas or borrachitos, among others.
