Mexico City
Too large to see in one trip, so most people pick a neighborhood and live in it for a few days.
Roma, Condesa, Coyoacán each work as their own small city, and the food ranges from century-old pulque halls to tasting menus a few blocks apart. Altitude keeps it cooler than the map suggests — pack for evenings, not just days.

The Best Cities for Winter Sun
Ten places at their best between November and March, none of them a beach resort — and one at the bottom of the world where December is summer.
Halloween, Locally Observed
Eleven cities where the end of October is a real local custom rather than an imported one — a fire festival on Calton Hill, a cemetery vigil that runs all night, and ossuaries in Naples, Palermo and Paris you can walk through any week of the year.
