Mexico Holidays 2025
Table of contents
Palm-lined beaches, sweltering jungles and a beloved chilli-centric cuisine make Mexican holidays the stuff of legends. Few countries can boast such a fantastic and versatile array of sandy shorelines and spectacular coastlines. In and around these beautiful natural scenes, you'll discover ancient monuments and thriving cities. Then there's the culture; explore centuries-old landmarks and modern art masterpieces as you travel from coast to coast.
The top 5 things to do in Mexico
1. Palenque
If there's one quintessentially Mexican site, it's Palenque, home to majestic Mayan ruins. These enigmatic temples are accompanied by the echoes of energetic parrots, frogs and monkeys. It's best visited at the break of dawn when the jungle mists descend across the feet of mighty monuments.
2. Mexico City
Mexico's capital is a buzzing place that manages to strike a balance between cutting-edge and old-school cool. Scenic canal rides, first-rate art museums and mesmerising Aztec attractions are all part of what makes this city so great. Its crown jewel is Palacio Nacional, a colonial palace that's now the seat of the Mexican president.
3. Chichén Itzá
This mesmerising Mayan site is the king of all temples. World-renowned for its historical importance, it's a huge site that's best tackled with a guided tour. The site comes to life during the spring and autumn equinoxes when natural light illuminates the temple walls. It's best viewed early or late to avoid both the crowds and roasting sun.
4. Oaxaca
Colourful Oaxaca is a cultural hub with delightful plazas and honey-tinted houses. Home to the Zapotecs and a testy colonial history, it was awarded World Heritage in 1987. It also boasts one of Mexico's most vibrant art scenes, as evidenced in a wide array of delightful galleries.
5. Cabo Pulmo
Despite its size, the small village of Cabo Pulmo is one of the best hubs for snorkelling in Mexico. It is nestled within a protected marine area and noted for its 5,000-year-old coral reef system. Diving is excellent here, with schools of colourful fish, giant manta rays and whale shark spotting.

When is the best time to go on holiday in Mexico
Mexico has a lot to offer, depending on the season. The high season runs from December until April and sees the driest weather with warm temperatures. As major Christian holidays, accommodation and attractions can swell with numbers during Christmas and Easter. The shoulder season from July to August sees the highest temperatures, with many tourists hitting the coastal resorts. The Pacific coast, in particular, can be incredibly humid. The least busy seasons are from May through June and September through November. The temperatures vary depending on the area, but storms are possible on both the Gulf and Pacific coasts. These are fine times to beat the crowds at major sites inland.
Going on holiday in Mexico
Mexico, its cities and resorts are very well connected by air and road. The two most important airports for travellers are located in Mexico City and Cancun. Both provide shuttle buses and taxis to their equivalent downtown regions. Once you've arrived in Mexico, you'll find that domestic flights or road vehicles are the best way to travel. Mexico is surprisingly undeveloped when it comes to rail transport, so a rental car is recommended. You can also travel by sea ferry, with scenic routes in coastal towns like Playa del Carmen.
Enjoy your holiday in Mexico
Mexico has something for just about everybody. Sparkling coastal resorts, sweltering jungle hikes, majestic archaeological sites and fine museums are found throughout the country. The Yucatan Peninsula, in particular, is among the top honeymoon spots in the world. It's also fine for family holidays, as the beaches are dotted with both delightful sandy shores and zip-line activities. Culture vultures, too, have much to discover, from the capital's top museums to the galleries of Oaxaca. For nightlife, head to the capital or the renowned Pacific resort of Puerto Vallarta. Wherever you go, you'll find history close, from monumental ruins to more recent colonial links.
