Chosen #1 in the New York Times top destinations for 2016 and now ranked up there with Paris, London, Tokyo, and New York as one of the world’s great cities, it is very colorful and radiates energy. The Greater Mexico City population is estimated at 21.2 million people, making it the second-largest metropolitan area of the western hemisphere, behind New York City, and by far the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. Much safer than back in the 1990’s and considered the safest of the larger Mexican cities, there are many options to getting around, including Uber and a city-wide bicycle rental system.
Mexico’s capital is the oldest capital city in the Americas, originally founded on an island of Lake Texcoco by the Aztecs in 1325 as Tenochtitlan, which was almost completely destroyed by the Spanish in 1521. The Spanish brutally subdued the Aztecs, drained the lake, and built their own colonial-style city literally on top of the Aztec ruins. As of 1585 it was officially known as the “Ciudad de México”.
Mexico City served as the political, administrative and financial center of a major part of the Spanish colonial empire for centuries, leaving the 500 year-old city center loaded with historic gems like the Palace of Fine Arts, the National Palace, the Castle in Chapultepec Park, and the Metropolitan Cathedral, the largest in the Americas built directly on top of the Aztec ruins.
There is no shortage of excellent museums, including the world renown National Anthropology Museum, and, of course, works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera can be found throughout the city. And undoubtedly, there is no more exciting place to eat!
Our properties in Mexico City are spacious and elegant and located in the best neighborhoods or “colonias” near to the city center, including Polanco, La Roma, and La Condesa. And as stated above, weather is mild all year ‘round due to the elevation with the warmest months being April and May and the coolest December and January.

We had the most incredible experience in Mexico City! Every day we had fabulous experiences, delicious meals, and truly memorable tours of the entire city. We had a stellar Spanish tutor, which Richard arranged for us, and on the weekends, we went to the most unbelievable places outside of the city! It’s been over a year since our Mexican adventure, and we still can’t stop talking about it! It’s a rare thing when someone can deliver on such lofty promises, and we so appreciate all of the work and care Richard, and his team put into our adventure! We could not recommend them more!
I just returned from an incredible week in Paris, thanks to Language & Luxury. I was immersed in the culture and the language, with a very talented instructor, who not only improved my French language skills, but also provided me with personalized tours and insights that I could not have acquired elsewhere.
There is so much to see and do in Paris, and Language & Luxury provided all the arrangements - and the instructor - to make sure that my time in Paris was as personally fulfilling and rewarding as possible. It's an incredible program for anyone looking to improve their language skills and explore Paris on a deeper level.
