Merida

Merida, the capital of the state of Yucatan, is famous for its colonial architecture, museums, music and culture, and albeit a popular tourist destination, continues to be a working, cosmopolitan city, unaffected by the influx of visitors every month.

The city is a great place to start your travels around the Yucatan area, but is also well worth a visit if you are only in Mexico for a short vacation. Known for being the capital of culture in this area, you won't find it hard to fill your days visiting the cathedral, famous markets, or acclaimed museums.
