Mexico City

The buzz around Mexico City has reached a fever pitch in recent years. A booming capital fueled by culture, the arts, fashion, and culinary trends, this destination boasts its own gay neighborhood, Zona Rosa, brimming with bars and restaurants, making it a standout among gay-friendly cities in Mexico.

One can easily return again and again to Mexico City as it is considered one of the world's great destinations! It's also a destination that can be beautifully paired with another as Charlie Rounds, GayTravel.com's Editor Emeritus describes in his A Tale of Two Cities: Puerto Vallarta and Mexico City. To say that Charlie is a seasoned traveler is an understatement. It speaks volumes to us that he has always been devoted to Mexico and its wonderful, warm and welcoming people. Charlie's experience: "As a gay couple, we felt comfortable anywhere we went in Mexico City, but while walking and dining in Zona Rosa, we couldn’t help notice, with pleasure, the numerous gay couples walking down the street hand-in-hand. That made us feel like we really fit in."
