Fountain in the Almada Central

We are back from another incredible trip! Mexico City has been calling us back since we left last year. Five days, one convenient hotel, and more murals, markets, and mezcal than we could have imagined. If you’ve ever wondered whether a city you’ve already visited is worth a second trip, let me just say: Mexico City absolutely is.

We stayed at the Hotel Fontan Reforma, which put us in a fantastic spot — right on Paseo de la Reforma, walking distance to the Alameda Central, and easy access to the historic center. If you’re heading to CDMX, I’d highly recommend this area as a base.
