MEXICO CITY
If you’re a foodie and love art, you’ll adore Mexico City. We went for four days — from dancing tastebuds to visually stunning museums and galleries to the colorful, vibrant streets — the city delivers on every level. It’s rich with culture, layered with history, and filled with creativity at every turn. There’s a distinct European charm woven into the architecture and cafés, yet everything remains beautifully and unmistakably Mexican. Perfect for a quick weekend escape, but you’ll find yourself wanting to return — there’s always more to uncover. Just be sure to book your dining reservations in advance — the culinary scene is one of the best in the world.

Highly recommend doing the taco omakase for lunch. They offer an aged mole topped with a fresh mole — mole madre, mole nuevo — for us it was 3183 days old. Incredibly delicious, I licked every bit. Pictured above.
