Mexico City is the sprawling, high-altitude capital of Mexico, layered with Aztec ruins, grand colonial plazas, and world-class museums. It is a vibrant cultural hub celebrated for its cuisine, art, and lively neighbourhoods. From ancient pyramids to street-corner tacos, every block serves up something new to discover!
When to go
The dry season from November to April offers the most reliable sunny weather, with March and April being warmest. The rainy season runs roughly May to October, bringing afternoon downpours that usually clear quickly. The city sits at high elevation, so evenings can be cool year-round.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, Mexico City is often a nonstop flight from hubs like Montreal or Toronto and a connection from most other cities. It is a year-round destination rather than a purely seasonal one, so service holds steady throughout the year. Plan for a layover if you are not departing from a major hub, and compare routings for the best schedule.
What to see and do
- Exploring the historic centre and Zocalo
- Visiting the Teotihuacan pyramids
- Wandering Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Coyoacan
- Strolling Chapultepec Park and its museums
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Mexican peso, and cash is useful for markets and small vendors. The metro is cheap and extensive, and ride-hailing apps like Uber and DiDi are a convenient, reliable choice, so a rental car is best avoided given heavy traffic and tricky parking. The high altitude can affect some visitors, so take it easy for the first day, and keep valuables discreet in crowds.
