Answer 2

A few places maven't been mentioned yet.

In Mexico City, see Chapultepec Castle (see the coaches of Maxmillian and Charlotta, and the office of Benito Juarez).

Go to Guanajunto where Hidalgo led the cry for revolution against Spain.

Watch the movie FRIDA, then see her "Blue" house in Coyoacán, Mexico City.  Now a popular museum, it was donated by Diego Rivera after her death in 1954.

Answer 5

Mexico City. It offers prehispanic, colonial, XIX century and contemporary history. The best museums (archeology, history, art) are in Mexico City.

Yucatan and Chiapas are great, if you want to focus on archeological sites. If you want t a bit of everything, vibrant, intense and neurotic Mexico City is the place.
