Mexico City Travel Guide
Mexico
Mexico City is Mexico’s capital and one of the country’s largest urban areas, with a population of 22,281,442. It is the country’s main political and cultural centre, spread across a large inland basin in central Mexico.
Most visitors arrive through Mexico City International Airport (MEX), with Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU) and Atizapan Airport (AZP) also serving the city. Mexico City is inland, and there are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so coastal trips require travelling beyond the immediate urban area.

Tipping: Tipping is customary in Mexico for various services. While not legally required, it's a significant part of service industry workers' income. Locals generally tip, and tourists are expected to do the same.
