Why visit Mexico City ?
During the 16th Century, as Tenochtitlan, Mexico City witnessed the encounter between two of the most highly developed civilizations of the time, both profoundly different and equally unique empires which, amazingly, had had no previous contact. Monumental vestiges of the culture which flourished here before the Spanish Conquest, after which the merger between these two mighty civilizations occurred, are still to be seen in the City. Suffice to mention just a few sites that are today world famous: the Templo Mayor, The Museum of Anthropology, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Teotihuacan. . . The cultural wealth of Mexico City is not merely limited to its ancient buildings and museums; it can be seen and felt in its streets, in its celebrations, in its works of art. In short, in every aspect of life in the City. Mexican popular art and cuisine have gained a justified place of honor around the world and there is no better place than Mexico City to experience them.
