Where to Stay in Mexico: What You Should Know
Before you travel, it's worth knowing a few key facts about the country:
- Whether you need a visa for Mexico depends on your nationality. Many travellers arriving by air for stays of up to six months only need an electronic authorization issued through Mexico's INM website; frequent visitors or those staying longer can apply for a standard visa at a Mexican embassy. Check what applies to your passport before you book;
- The official currency is the Mexican peso;
- The official language is Spanish.
With its rich history, Mexico offers visitors far more than the stunning beaches of the Gulf of Mexico — it's also home to remarkable ancient sites. You'll find traces of the Spanish colonial era alongside even older historical landmarks.
A wonderful place to unwind is Cancun, a Caribbean coast city on the Yucatán Peninsula, with some of Mexico's best nightclubs and hotel resorts right by the beach. Don't miss:
- The Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA);
- The Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve, home to rare pink flamingos and crocodiles;
- The pyramids of Chichén Itzá and Isla Mujeres (the Island of Women).
Another favourite with travellers is the Riviera Maya, also on the Caribbean coast, where the vast majority of hotels are all-inclusive. Well worth a visit are:
- Calakmul, an ancient city hidden deep in the jungle;
- Tulum, the ruins of a Mayan-era city, along with a nearby indigenous settlement;
- Cozumel, Mexico's largest island, where the water is so clear you can see the seabed up to 10 metres down without even diving;
- Xcaret, an eco-archaeological park.
When planning your trip to Mexico, make sure to set aside time for the country's beating heart, Mexico City. It's a fascinating city with plenty to explore, including:
- Teotihuacan, often called the "Ghost City", home to the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon;
- The Frida Kahlo Museum and the National Museum of Anthropology;
- The Leon Trotsky House Museum;
- Copper Canyon;
- Chapultepec Castle, home to the main exhibition of the National Museum of History.
