Mexico City remains a vibrant destination for Jamaican travelers. The massive size means that visitors are often surprised by the sheer number of tourist attractions available. We recommend spending at least a week in Mexico City to fully experience its culture and attractions. Sunday markets, like La Lagunilla, offer unique shopping experiences starting from 6 AM, while the Arena Coliseo hosts entertaining Lucha Libre fights that showcase Mexican cultural traditions.
