Why go on holiday to Mexico City?
Mexico City is the world’s fourth-largest city and a hive of astonishing ancient palaces, music and noise, brown air and green parks, grand museums and appalling poverty. It seems to encompass all of human experience – good and bad – in one vivacious sprawl. How much does it cost? If you shop around you may get a discount return flight for £350 to £450, though prices will rise in the summer. Hotels from £20. When should I go? Mexico City’s climate is drier and more temperate than most of the rest of the country. May to October is the hottest time, with July and September probably good only for the most hardened heat-seekers. December to February can get very chilly.
