Mérida
Travel tip
The Plaza Grande is a city square great for taking a
stroll and relaxing. The Plaza Grande is also well connected! Complimentary Wi-Fi and numerous charging stations are found throughout the plaza.
Considered the cultural hub and the largest city in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mérida is a sunny Mexican destination teeming with history and a unique urban beauty. White colonial buildings line the narrow streets of this Mayan city, hidden just a 30-minute drive from the Gulf of Mexico. Mérida is close enough to enjoy the relaxation of the beach but far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle of your typical Mexican resort city.
For the foodies, Yucatecan food incorporates Mayan influences and flavours from other cultures to create dishes not found anywhere else in Mexico. Mérida’s location has given it a very unique identity both culturally and politically, and it’s also one of the cleanest and safest places in the country. With exceptional recreation, vibrant ecotourism and some of the most important Mayan museums in all of Mexico, Mérida is not your typical Mexican destination – and that’s exactly what makes this city so compelling.
