Elect's take
"Mexico City exceeded every expectation I had. The combination of extraordinary food, world class museums, remarkable history and the sheer scale and energy of the city creates an experience that I found genuinely overwhelming in the best possible sense."
The Zócalo is one of the largest public squares in the world, flanked by the magnificent Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace whose murals by Diego Rivera provide a magnificent visual history of Mexico. The Museo Nacional de Antropología is one of the great museums of the world, housing an extraordinary collection of pre-Columbian art and artefacts. The Casa Azul in Coyoacán, Frida Kahlo's home and studio, is one of Mexico's most moving cultural experiences. The restaurant scene in Mexico City has earned global recognition with Quintonil, Pujol and Enrique Olvera's various establishments placing the city firmly in the world's top ten food destinations. Teotihuacan, the extraordinary pre-Aztec pyramid city, is one hour by road.
