Veracruz Mexico?

Question

I'm going there in september... for 10 days with my boyfriend to visit his cousin and have a little vacation. I don't know much about it though. Can anyone tell me what there is to see and do there?

Answer 1

Besides the main port and City of Veracruz there are interesting places to see, like Xalapa, Tlacotalpan, also the ruins of El Tajin, and theriver rafting near Xalapa.

Watch out and don´t drink too much Toritos, sure they taste like milk shake with a kick, but they will give you a terrible hang over if you drink a lot of them.

Answer 2

The city of Veracruz or the state?  Veracruz city is over a million people.  It has very beautiful areas.  I find the beaches right in the city to be dirty and unattractive, but north and south of the city are miles and miles of wild , gorgeous, uncrowded beaches.  The Centro Historico district of the city is lovely and a lot of fun...esp. in the evening.  It is surrounded with sidewalk cafes, musicians, many activities in the park, often special performances in the park...really charming.  The Malecon is a boardwalk along the port area...fun shopping, often there are big ships to see.  The Naval station is interesting to go through.  The Aquarium in Veracruz is right on the water...easy to get to. It is a world class aquarium...a great place to visit.  There are old forts, and many other places to visit.  And you can go snorkeling from Veracruz too.

Answer 3

Veracruz is a beautiful state in the Gulf of Mexico, with nice, traditional towns inland and a vibrant port (Veracruz, the city).

There are archelogical sites too, and great food!

Here is a website, it is in Spanish, but the video will give you an idea.
