Ten days, eleven museums and roughly four hundred tacos. January is dry, bright and cool, which nobody mentions. Anthropology is the best museum I have ever been in and I have been to a lot of them.

A lake bed at 2,240 metres holding twenty million people, a hundred museums, and the best eating day of your life for the price of a sandwich.

Mexico for the museums, stayed for lunch · 9–22 Jan 2026The most underrated big city I have been to. Roma Norte and Condesa are quiet, green and low, the museums are world class and nearly free, and I ate the best single meal of my year for about eight dollars at a stand under a bridge.
