Travel + Leisure (US) declared Mexico as the Destination of the Year 2022. At the heart of the country is its buzzing capital, Mexico City. Made up of over 75 vibrant neighbourhoods, it is one of the oldest and largest cities in the Americas. Find the ruins of Tenochtitlán, the ancient capital of the Aztec empire, just outside of central Mexico City. In the south, the floating gardens of Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a unique experience. The city is also home to over 150 museums and galleries, including the Soumaya Museum and Dolores Olmedo Museum. Plan your 2022 visit in November for El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a festival that has been around for nearly 3,000 years. It is celebrated across Mexico, with street parades, fancy dress displays, and copious amounts of food and drink.
