Tourism to the United States’ southern neighbor, Mexico, has energetically rebounded over the past few years. Hotel rooms and beaches are filling up again with international visitors after numbers dwindled as a direct result of the country’s drug war. While the violence unfortunately continues in some parts of the country, security and spirits have all-around improved. The U.S. has acknowledged the increased safety, as well, in lowering its official travel warnings to the country, while the Mexican government has enthusiastically launched tourism promotion campaigns. In other words? It’s time to plan that vacay! Here's four must-visit places for anyone's first or repeat visit.
For a trendy locale: Mexico City
For arts and culture old, new and of tomorrow, Mexico City is the place to visit. The sprawling capital city, which more than 20 million people call home, is the largest city in North America and is full of life! Impressive ruins stand right within city boundaries, as it also was the capital of the Aztec empire. The Mexico City of today, as much a cultural epicenter as ever before, has all the designers, trendy dining spots, boutiques, galleries and hot hotels to back up its standing as a fashionable metropolis and travel destination.
