About Mexico

Mexico est une vaste capitale d'altitude bâtie sur la cité aztèque de Tenochtitlan, riche en musées, fresques, marchés et cuisine remarquable.

Le Zócalo, l'une des plus grandes places du monde, est encadré par la cathédrale métropolitaine et le Palais national, où les fresques de Diego Rivera racontent l'histoire du Mexique. À côté, le Templo Mayor mis au jour révèle le cœur de la capitale aztèque, et le Palais des beaux-arts, à l'extérieur de marbre et à l'intérieur Art déco, se dresse à courte distance à l'ouest.

Top-ranked sights in Mexico: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
