3. Merida
Stay
About the destination: Mérida is the capital city of the Mexican state of Yucatan. This captivating and lively city is heavily influenced by Spanish colonial culture. Mérida has a unique ambiance, particularly on weekends when the central streets are closed for music and dancing in the main square. The entire city seems to converge downtown for the celebration. It also serves as a great starting point for exploring the Yucatan Peninsula. From Mérida, you can visit Mayan ruins and museums, haciendas, cenotes, and a wide array of Catholic churches. Mérida was established by Spanish conquistadors in 1542. They overpowered the existing Mayan town, dismantled the pyramids, and used the stones to construct the Cathedral of San Idelfonso. The site of one pyramid is now Mérida's main town square. This town square, or Plaza, is now surrounded by this cathedral, the town hall, the governor's palace, and the Casa de Montejo, the former residence of the conqueror of Yucatan. Take a stroll down Paseo Montejo to admire the restored Spanish and French colonial mansions. Mérida is a fascinating blend of rich culture and history, delicious food, countless cultural activities, and thrilling attractions. Mérida is the cultural heart of the Yucatan and its bustling urban center.
