We visited Mexico City, Mexico, in June. We will be posting a series of photos from that city.
Mexico City is the densely populated, high-altitude capital of Mexico. Home to over 22 million people, it is a ginormous metropolis that blends ancient history with modern innovation, making it one of the most unique cities in the world.
We stayed at the modern version of Mexico City at the JW Marriott in Polanco, and a renovated historic building for the Hampton Inn in the historic center, to photograph different images of this city.
