A Cidade do México é uma metrópole vibrante com uma das mais ricas heranças culturais do mundo — das ruínas astecas de Tenochtitlan aos murais de Diego Rivera, da gastronomia mundialmente reconhecida aos bairros boémios como Roma e Condesa. O metro da cidade conecta o aeroporto ao centro. As instalações incluem lojas duty-free com artesanato mexicano, tequila e mezcal, restaurantes com gastronomia mexicana autêntica e lounges premium.
