Mexico City, where tradition, modernity and art go hand in hand

An infinite city with multiple corners to visit and options to enjoy during any part of the year. Will you join us?

Mexico City's contribution to the history not only of Mexico itself but of the world is undeniable. The cradle of artists, intellectuals and avid entrepreneurs, this great city is the perfect meeting point between traditional culture and the most ancient Mexican customs, a country that looks defiantly to the future with the desire to continue being great. Mexico City never disappoints and in it, we can enjoy from beautiful landscapes to one of the most cosmopolitan and modern asphalts in all of Latin America.

Located in the Valley of Mexico, it represents 34% of all the wealth of the country and if we count its metropolitan area, the city reaches the whopping figure of 21 million residents. An unfathomable city that wants to be visited, enjoyed and show the world that Mexico is much more than tacos and mariachis… it is a unique city with warm and friendly people who make you feel at home.

Mexico City has changed a lot over time, in fact, Mexico City itself played an important role in the country's independence, seeing a great transformation at the end of the 19th century thanks to a series of infrastructure reforms that marked the birth of the modern city we know today.
