Answer 4

I would suggest Cuernavaca because of the culture, history and climate.  It's called the city of eternal spring as the climate is so mild. In the city there is a museum which is housed in the Cortes Palace built by the conquistador Hernan Cortes.  There are a lot of places to see within a day trip by bus from there as well.  Taxco (for the silver mines and shops), Tepostlan which is a village close to the city and very Mexican, the Grutas (Caves) de Cacahuamilpa which is huge and very impressive and the Xochicalco Ruins.  So, lots to do, lots to see and very Mexican!  We loved it!

Answer 5

Chiapas 4 culture and awsom natural places

Oaxaca 4 culture, beaches and delicious food

Mexico City 4 culture and night life, museums
