Discover Mexico City: An Enthralling Budget Winter Destination

Immersed in culture, attractions, and plenty of fascinating history, Mexico City is the ideal destination for budget travelers in search of a winter getaway. Township festivals and showcases bring locals and tourists together for a glimpse of Mexican culture; while the multitude of attractions provide a plentiful opportunity to explore the city.

No trip to Mexico City would be complete without stopping by one of the city’s main areas: the Centro Historico and the Zocalo. Located within this district lies the architecture marvel of Mexico’s capital, the Catedral Metropolitana. As one of the world’s oldest—and largest—cathedrals, the towering twin-towered structure offers a unique sight with its Baroque style designs enough to entrance even the least religious amongst us!

Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Templo Mayor provides another breathtaking view of the city’s indelible past. Gazing atop the restored Aztec shrine captures the large-scale scope of the ruins which have been maintained over time, leaving its architecture combining the features of both the old Aztec and Spanish cultures.

Meander the streets of the Centro Historico to explore the barely-known but don’t-miss corner spots of Mexico City. Ciudadela is home to the city’s main marketplace, bursting with vibrant artisans and tantalizing food. When day fades to night, the nightlife in Mexico City continues to thrive with plenty of clubs, bars, and restaurants to check out.
