Find your tripA great short getaway (3–4 days) thanks to quick flight times from most US and Canada hubs. Mexico City tends to work best for travelers planning a food-focused trip — it's a regular pick for foodies, culture seekers, and weekend travelers.
The highlights people build their trip around: frida Kahlo Museum and Coyoacán; teotihuacán as a day trip; roma/Condesa food scene.
