Visit sites like Teotihuacan and Monte Albán to learn about pre-Colombian civilisations, get inspired at Frida Kahlo’s blue casa (house) in Mexico City, and try regional fare in every city. If you make it to the foodie capital Oaxaca, indulging in mezcal, the national spirit of Mexico, is compulsory.
