Cheap Vacation In Mexico City - $20 Goes A Long Way

Most places you go $20 will not be nearly enough. But in Mexico, you can be a “Big Baller” for as little as one Andrew Jackson daily. That makes Mexico City worth investigating for any traveller on a tight budget.

The buildings surrounding the square date back to the Aztecs, whose ceremonial center was located there before the Europeans built over it. At the Templo Mayor, just off the plaza’s northeast corner, archaeologists continue to excavate ruins of the civilization that fell to the Spaniards. You can tour both the museum and the archeological site for $4.

Right next to the Aztec ruins is the city’s Metropolitan Cathedral, designed by 16 architects and built over two centuries. To the east is the National Palace, where stunning murals by Diego Rivera lay out the entire sweep of Mexican history. It’s free to enter, but well worth finding a free, accredited guide to the left as you enter or paying about $9 to one of the guides outside to explain the images.

Go to Mexico and live it up, for not that much cash. You know the weather will be great, and there will be tons of fun things to do and see. Hell, you can’t even park most places in the US for $20, so you know there are a ton of bargains to be had.
