Mexico City – Megacity High Above Sea Level

With over 22 million inhabitants, Mexico City is one of the world's megacities. Surrounded by mountains, the capital of Mexico lies in a high valley at an altitude of 2,300 meters and is home to attractions such as the Templo Mayor from the Aztec era, or the Frida Kahlo Museum, situated in the birthplace of Mexico's most famous painter. Restaurants offering creative and delicious food beckon in trendy districts such as Roma or Condesa, and the historic center impresses with a mix of colonial architecture, art nouveau, and art deco styles.
