Sitting atop ancient ruins and once-vast lakes, today’s Mexico City is both humming with history and hungry for change. As one of the world’s largest cities, Mexico City is a universe unto itself, where art, history, and cuisine thrive on – literally – every corner. From the buzzing labyrinth of the Centro Histórico to the canal-lined floating farms of Xochimilco, an oasis in the city where the last vestiges of the city’s ancient agriculture still thrive. Creativity abounds in Mexico City, from high-end kitchens to homestyle fondas; from artisan workshops to the colourful public markets.
