Have you ever visited Mexico???

Question

Well, I just wonder:

Which are the best cities for visiting and what's your opinion about visiting Mexico. (Treat of people to foreigners, cleaning standards, culture shock, and overall, would I be fine spending my money going to Mexico or you'd recommend me another better destination???

Answer 1

I've been to Israel, Greece, Viet Nam, Honduras, Belize and Mexico 24 times.  I keep going back to Mexico because it's so diverse.  There are 31 states and a Federal District and each one is so unique, but which one you'll like will depend on you.  I would suggest you buy a Mexico guide book and read though it to find places that sound interesting to you.   If you just want to lay on the beach and drink beer, anywhere from Cancun to Tulum would be good for you.  If you like museums, Mexico City is tha place to go.

The places to avoid are the northern border states.  All the tourist areas are friendly to tourists because they bring money to the economy.  All the expensive hotels are spotless because they have a large staff dedicated to cleaning.  To avoid culture shock, learn a little Spamish--enoungh to order a meal and ask directions.

I'm planning to retire there that's how much I like it.

Answer 2

The colonial cities of Mexico, beginning in the heart of the country and looping steadily southward toward the border, dot the country like a beguiling string of pearls. Each city is unique in its character, but bound to the rest by a shared architectural beauty, turbulent history, and cultural richness.

And like a pearl necklace, colonial cities are beautiful to look at. Take the churches: from the stunning gold-leafed altar in Oaxaca City's cathedral to Puebla's church-on-every-corner layout, there's always at least one good iglesia (and usually several). Plazas and parks are other attractive features, whether you discover a shady buttonhole with a single bench or huge stone-paved esplanades filled with city life. At the very least, you'll get a lot of great photos.

Of course, colonial cities are not just pretty things to admire, but a vital part of Mexico's living culture. Tens of thousands of people, local and visitors alike, participate in annual festivals in Guanajuato, Morelia, Mérida, and elsewhere. In San Cristóbal de las Casas, a resilient indigenous population belies the notion that Maya and other native people disappeared, even as they struggle with lasting poverty (one of the distinctly uncharming relics of colonization).

Above all, colonial Mexico is a reminder of the country's layered attractions. With spectacular beaches on both sides, world-renown archaeological sites sprinkled throughout, and one of the world's largest cities smack-dab in the middle, it's sometimes easy to overlook how magical these colonial cities truly are.
