Curator’s statement
Mexico City, aka CDMX, is a vibrant metropolis that seamlessly blends rich history with modern luxury and culinary delights. There is so much to do, see and eat in this bustling city - multiple bars and restaurants on the World's 50 Best lists, friendly locals, cute boutiques, and cultural museums! I have personally traveled there five times and would go back five more! Having gotten married there in 2023, this city holds a special place in my heart and I'd be honored to craft the best itinerary for you.
