Home to over 20 million people and the largest U.S. expatriate community, it's one of the richest destinations on the planet in both cultural and material wealth. Helicopters bypassing traffic in this bustling hub is a common sight, but the biggest and most affordable metro system in Latin America makes it easy for visitors to get around on their own. Here, you'll run out of time before running out of attractions. The Modern Art Museum and National Museum of Anthropology are a stone's throw away from the palatial park, just south of Plaza Garibaldi and its live mariachi. The artsy neighborhoods of Zonas Rosa, Roma, Condesa, Coyoacan, and San Angel are beloved by visitors and foreign residents alike, and Polanco plays host to chic night spots and trendy restaurants, while a seasonal ice skating ring in the city square and the oldest university in the Americas round out intrigue to suit all ages. 1 6 2 3 4 5 7 8
