Mexico City
Mexico City, built on top of the ruins of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, is one of the world’s oldest, continually inhabited cities and also one of its largest with a population of over 22 million.
There is plenty to see and do – the city has five Aztec temples, the largest cathedral on the continent and 11 ecological parks. The central Zocalo is the third largest square in the world and has witnessed a wealth of historical, religious and political development since the 14th century.
The archaeological site of Teotihuacan is one of the country’s major tourist attractions. In the past it was one of the largest and most complex metropolis in pre-hispanic Mexico. Its main structures include the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, as well as an on-site museum. The culture that produced this magnificent city originated in the first century A.D., reaching its peak between the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D., and subsequently declining until it was eventually abandoned.
