MEXICO CITY

Despite its size and often-quoted problems, Mexico is a fascinating city. Built right on top of the Aztec capital city Tenochtitlan, it is a mixture of ancient, colonial and modern. The city is bursting with art, museums, music and culture. The enormous murals by Rivera and Siquieros depict a complete, colourful Mexican history whilst the Anthropological Museum fills in the gaps. The famous Aztec city of Teotihuacán lies only forty minutes away.
