Marvellously Mexico City

From 1956 to 2003, Mexico City had a love affair with the VW Beetle, affectionately known as the vocho. Production of the old-style version may have stopped, but there are tens of thousands of the curvy cars still roaming the city streets, most of them taxis. Look out for the distinctive green-and-white-coloured cabs, as much a symbol of the city as tacos or tequila.

Don't go home without

A bottle of tequila: with more than 600 brands of the potent agave spirit from around 100 distilleries in Mexico, you’ll be spoiled for choice. 'Worms' are strictly for tourists.

Getting there

Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.

Planes
Benito Juárez International Airport is Mexico’s main hub for international and travel, offering direct flights to and from New York, LA, London and other destinations in the US and Caribbean. BA, AA and United both fly to and from the airport. You can arrange a direct transfer to La Purificadora on the hotel’s own Cessna.
Trains
Mexico’s metro does link the airport with the city cheaply and quickly, but it’s usually crowded and some passengers can be prone to ‘ungentlemanly’ behaviour – best avoided.
Automobiles
You can rent a car at the airport, (Hertz, Alamo and Avis all have branches here), but only the most gifted and patient drivers should consider it, as the roads in Mexico City can be chaotic at best. Stick to taxis.
