Whether you’re biting into a habanero-filled taco at Mexico City’s markets or exploring the mystical Aztec ruins of Teotihuacan, Mexico exudes a curious sort of intensity. The cuisine is colourful and mouth-wateringly delicious, and its people are more than charming. High culture and history have their place here, but be sure to check out the many underground dance clubs or street art projects reinventing urban spaces in the country’s cities.
