During your stay you can sample both the old and the new, from nearby archaeological sites to the historic downtown and famous cathedral to the bustling shopping malls such as ‘Plaza Andares’ and ‘Plaza Galerias’. At the ‘hospicio cabañas’ a series of monumental frescoes depicting Mexico’s revolution bring the history of the city to life.
