Mexico City is set to host five matches at this summer's FIFA World Cup, making it the perfect time to visit the most populous city in North America.
Whether you are marvelling at ancient ruins or enjoying contemporary art, there is a palpable energy in the air and it will undoubtedly be present during the tournament.
With a metropolitan area of some 23.1 million people, traffic congestion is quite intense during rush hours, especially in the area near Azteca stadium.
The city has pollution issues that could also be a problem for fans with respiratory conditions. Remember, too, that the city is at an altitude over 7,300 feet (2,240 metres), which may require some acclimatisation for visitors.
