Alongside Centro Histórico, Coyoacán is a great neighborhood for history buffs, and its history as an intellectual hub for the city (and the nation) make it all the more interesting.

Unlike the boutique hotels of Roma or the business-traveler havens of Polanco, hotels aren't an essential part of the Coyoacán experience. However, there is a healthy selection of bed and breakfasts and nice hostels.

Proposing on vacation can make it feel even more special, but it also adds a world of extra logistics. Here are some things to keep in mind to help it go smoothly.

Relations between the U.S. and Cuba are relaxing, and now is a big opportunity for people looking to visit. Americans might not be able to take advantage of all-inclusive resorts just yet, but it will be a mad rush when they can.

If you're wanting to have a weekend escape in the Bay area, the bad news is that there's simply too much to cram into 3 days. The good news is that we've mapped out a mock itinerary so you can get a head start.

Much like the shopping in Polanco, the restaurants here tend to be well-thought-out, high-end affairs. You can still find food on a budget here, but it's definitely not the majority of the food scene in Polanco.

Polanco is an upscale, exclusive neighborhood in Mexico City. It's noted for its cultural diversity, but also for a plethora of artists, politicians, and celebrities. It also has the best shopping in Mexico City.

Given Polanco's status as a hub for high-end shopping and fashion, it's no surprise that some of the nicest hotels in the city are located here. But that doesn't mean that you have to shell out a ton of money.

The restaurant row along Rio Lerma in Colonia Cuauhtémoc is not to be underestimated. Cuauhtémoc may not have the hipster flash of Roma or La Condesa, but it's no slouch when it comes to food.
