The best time to visit Mexico City is during the dry season, which typically runs from October to May. During these months, the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring the city's many attractions. The wet season, from June to September, brings heavier rainfall, with July being the wettest month. The average temperature throughout the year hovers around a comfortable 18°C.

For a truly unique cultural experience, we also recommend visiting during the Day of the Dead festival in early November. This vibrant celebration, deeply rooted in Mexican tradition, offers a chance to witness elaborate altars, lively parades, and a beautiful display of local customs and remembrance. It’s an unforgettable way to experience the city’s rich cultural heritage.

The Zócalo (main square) is the beating heart of Mexico City. From here, you can explore ancient Aztec ruins, admire the grandeur of the Palace of Fine Arts, and wander through cobbled streets that feel like stepping back in time. Stay in charming boutique hotels and dine at historic restaurants once frequented by aristocrats, offering the finest Mexican cuisine in an unforgettable setting.

La Condesa and Roma Norte are two of the safest and most vibrant neighbourhoods in Mexico City. These areas are known for their tree-lined streets, welcoming cafés, trendy restaurants, and cool jazz bars. Explore hidden underground speakeasies and enjoy a laid-back, yet stylish atmosphere where the past and present meet seamlessly.

Juárez is the modern financial district of Mexico City, characterised by towering skyscrapers, street food stalls offering delicious fresh tacos, and a lively nightlife scene. Spend an evening sipping cocktails at rooftop bars, or immerse yourself in the excitement of Lucha Libre (Mexican Wrestling), an exhilarating experience that captures the heart and soul of the city’s vibrant culture.
