Cancun is the capital of nightlife. People come to sip cocktails and relax on the white sandy beaches during the day. In the evening, party in luxury clubs and hotels until the early hours of the morning.
Tijuana is located only 20 miles from the US border, making it a great place for a day trip or overnight stay. The city is bursting with life, vibrant colors, and buckets of tequila. It is safe for tourists to visit, but you should avoid walking into bad neighborhoods at night.
History and culture buffs look no further than Merida. The city is home to rustic lanes, colonial buildings, and filled with historic museums. There are little to no tourist traps, so you get to experience the famous Mexican lifestyle.
And to top it off, the city is only a 1.5 drive from Chichen Itza.
Accommodation
Mexico has no shortage of accommodation, especially in tourist areas. From luxury hotels to rock bottom-priced hostels, there is something for everyone’s budget.

Mexico is one of the top foodie spots in the world, so when you visit, make the most of it. Avoid eating in outlets inside or close to tourist attractions. The food is overpriced, not authentic, and aimed at tourists, not locals.
Some stores accept US dollars but use Peso for the best rates.
