Answer 1

Rosarito and Ensenada on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula. Nice towns, good shopping and restaurants, beaches.. People are friendly and helpful, lack of Spanish language skills isn't a problem. For immersion in historic Mexico, Mexico DF is the place..

Answer 2

Mexico City seems like the place to go.

Answer 3

Ensenada, Baja California. You can do all you want and since it's a tourist town you won't have trouble with the language.

Answer 5

Yes Mexico city would be a good choice, but keep your eyes open because you are always a target in that city.

Puebla isn´t far and it is a nice scale down version of Mexico City (more touristy), also close by there is Cuernavaca and it is a laid back calm little city. 30 minutes away is Tepoztlan which is just a beautiful place to visit, it has a pyramid at the top of a mountain (2 hour hike for slow out of shape people like me). And you have to go to Taxco which is a couple of hours away from Cuernavaca, but you will love it. This is where you will find all and anything in silver jewelry. The places I have mentioned are pretty safe for tourists, the only place I´d be concerned with would be Mexico City, but if you make sure that you make yourself appear alert, you shouldn´t have a problem. A word of advice for visiting Mex City: Always use a "Radio Taxi" they cost more but they are safe, avoid the metro, and never take your eyes of your belongings.

Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Guanajuato or Ajijic are both perfect places for that.
