Mexico City

Cultural and colourful Mexico City is a major city that you can explore in many different ways. Why not take a walking trip or a cycle trip through the historic centre? Among other things, visit the Presidential Palace, where the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera created a huge mural. You can also visit the Cathedral and the most important Aztec temple.

And no visit to Mexico City is complete without a visit to the Museum of Anthropology. This museum is housed in a stunning modern building, which traces the history of Mexico right from its very beginnings. You’ll also find many works of art and artefacts from the various pre-Columbian cultures that flourished in Mexico, such as the Aztecs, Zapotecs and the Maya.

Just outside the city centre of Mexico City, you’ll find the chinampas, the floating gardens of Xochimilco. Aboard a trajinera, a colourful gondola, you’ll take a trip along the canals as you sail past the chinampas. As you sail, various other gondolas will pull up alongside, where you can buy typical Mexican delicacies. For a real taste of Mexican hospitality, visit Xochimilco at the weekend.

At this restaurant, you can sample popular Mexican dishes prepared in an innovative way under the guidance of head chef Enrique Olvera. Olvera loves to experiment with forgotten ingredients and techniques. Be sure to try the mole madre and mole nuevo here – traditional sauces with a modern twist.
