It comes as no surprise to locals that Mérida was recently listed by Time’s Money magazine as the third best international travel destination on the globe. Mérida’s classy colonial architecture, wildly delicious gastronomy, and proximity to breathtaking natural landscapes enchant visitors from all over the world. In the city, dig in deep by visiting museums and art galleries, then break away on day trips to archaeological sites and sacred cenotes.
Indulge in carefree, old-school travel, thanks to Mérida’s proven reputation for safety and affordability. The city ranks as one of the safest in North America. The people of Mérida are very proud of this, and the community works together to create a conscious and aware environment for both locals and tourists.
Book your hotel at www.hotelesyucatan.com.mx and create a base for understanding the history and culture of this capital city by going on the free bi-lingual tour, which leaves from the Palacio Municipal every morning (except Sunday) at 9:30 am. Mérida is one of the world’s only destinations where you can find free cultural events every day of the week. An attempt to conserve cultural traditions and the architectural infrastructure of the city, most of Mérida’s free events take place in the historical neighborhood parks.
