Top 12 places to visit in Mexico
With bustling cities, ancient ruins, cactus-strewn deserts and misty forests, it can be hard to know where to begin when planning a trip to Mexico, it seems to have it all. Here's our pick of some of the best places to visit in Mexico to get you started.
1. Mexico City
It goes without saying that Mexico City has to be on your places to visit in Mexico list. This thriving city has everything you could ask for when tasting Mexican culture for the very first time: World-class restaurants with incredible views, historical centres full of beautiful pre-Hispanic architecture, galleries, museums, markets, shops, and of course, incredible food.
Mexico City is a creative hub and a food lover's dream. Visit the impressive Catedral y Sagrario Metropolitano, the Plaza de la Constitution and the National Palace. Party in the dive bars, clubs and the streets. Indulge in the tortas, tacos and tequilas. Mexico City is infectious, exhilarating and an unmissable destination for a tour to Mexico.
2. Tulum
Tulum became famous for having the only fortified Mayan ruin in existence, situated along the coast. Tulum's main draw is the well-preserved Mayan site resting atop a 12-meter cliff looking below to the Carribbean Sea. But this ancient city isn't just about Mayan remains. Due to its sensational, sugar-white beaches and crystal-clear water, Tulum has become a favoured spot for divers to explore underwater caverns, seeking abundant marine life.
3. Chichen Itza
The Mayan site of Chichen Itza is one of the most visited attractions in Central America. The Mayans were one of the most advanced civilisations our world has seen, making Chichen Itza one of the seven new wonders of the world. Relics and remains lay all over Central America, but Chichen Itza is one of the most unique. The immense height of the buildings is overwhelming, but when you discover how each monument marks out a key astrological point in the sky, it becomes even more intriguing. The Mayan's measurements are so precise that when a ray of sunlight reaches a certain point in the sky, a serpent's shadow appears to slither up the stairs of El Castillo, heading for the temple at the top.

4. Isla Cozumel
This small island just of Playa del Carmen is one of the best scuba diving destinations this side of the ocean. The sea is crystal, clean and abundant in exotic marine life gliding through the reef. This laid back atmosphere is the ideal break away from the bustling cities as you search for your perfect hidden beach. It's also an exceptional place for kayaking, snorkelling and paddleboarding.

5. Oaxaca
This colonial city in Southern Mexico is the perfect place to experience traditional Mexican culture. Explore the UNESCO historic centre of Oaxaca with its vibrant multi-coloured houses. Discover hand-made crafts made by the indigenous community of Oaxaca. Investigate the art scene, the traditional local food and the charming cobbled streets. And the surrounding scenery? It's simply heavenly.

6. Copper Canyon
Copper Canyon is an unimaginable place in Mexico to explore, especially if you're into hiking. Some people are surprised to hear that Copper Canyon is larger and deeper than the Grand Canyon. But, it's not just about hiking. The railway which passes through is supposedly one of the most beautiful journeys in the world. You can also go rock climbing or zip-lining across the Canyon.

11. Cancun
Consistently voted as one of the top travel destinations for USA citizens, we couldn't not mention Cancun. Long, sugar-white stretches of coastline, extending as far as the eye can see, with water so transparent you don't even need a snorkel. Cancun is a beach-lovers paradise. Famous for being a prime spot for Spring Break, the nightlife here is like no other. Cancun is also one of the best places for swimming with stingrays and dolphins in Mexico.

12. Merida
Merida is one of the finest examples of old colonial Mexico and is the perfect base for visiting the nearby Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum. Merida has the nickname of "white city" as bizarrely, the citizens all wear white clothing. Explore the ancient monuments of the Fatherland, the Roman Theatre and the Roman aqueducts. Dine in the busy plazas and explore the French architecture of the squares.

Magical Mexico
Mexico has enchanted me ever since I read about the ancient civilisation of the Maya in history in secondary school. Such a fusion of cultures! The second biggest country in Latin America & so much more than sombreros & tequila! I succumbed to the magnetic pull in March this year & I can honestly say it is an adventure that has altered me. How can you capture the essence & soul of such a charming country & life-changing holiday?
