First time in Mexico

JW Marriott Hotel Mexico City Polanco

... Read moreWhen visiting Mexico City for the first time, it's essential to embrace its rich culture and culinary treasures. From the moment you arrive, the vibrant streets are filled with color, sounds, and the aroma of spices wafting from street vendors. One popular dish to try is Tacos al Pastor, which combines flavors from the indigenous cultures and Spanish influences, offering a delicious and unique experience. As you explore, make sure to visit the historic Zocalo, one of the largest public squares in the world, where the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace stand. For those who appreciate art, the Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as the Blue House, is a must-see. This charming museum housed in Kahlo's birthplace provides deep insights into her life and works. Don’t forget to enjoy some traditional drinks like Horchata, a sweet rice-based drink, or sample refreshing aguas frescas made from fruits like hibiscus and tamarind. Whether on business or leisure, immersing yourself in the local culture while savoring Mexico's delicious cuisine will make your trip unforgettable. Exploring local markets such as La Merced is also a treat, where you can find everything from local produce to artisanal crafts. Remember to engage with locals to get the best recommendations on hidden gems throughout the city!

Spanish phrases I used in Mexico!
Honestly y’all, I could not believe how much Spanish I remembered when I went to Mexico for vacation! I’ve always said that the brain can refresh its language memory so well when it hears it and speaks it all day long. I was able to communicate (sometimes a bit brokenly) at the airport, to get ta
