Stroll through Roma’s modern mezcal bars, sample street-corner tacos in La Condesa, and then elevate your palate with the culinary artistry of Pujol. From the sweeping murals of Palacio de Bellas Artes to vibrant street-art installations around every corner, Mexico City is a gallery without walls.
As a thriving nexus of business and culture, it champions openness and was the first Mexican city to legalize same-sex marriage in 2010. Its annual Pride parade—one of Latin America’s largest—draws over a million revelers each year. Every municipality has its own pulse; Mexico City’s beats with the collision of ancient Latino soul and up-to-date cosmopolitan flair.
