Only 70 kilometers (43 miles) south of Mexico City, lies beatiful Cuernavaca, Morelos.
About 50 miles from Mexico City, this is a favorite spot for city travelers looking for a place to get away. Cuernavaca is known as the City of Eternal Spring for its warm weather all year long and colorful flowers that dress its streets. Whether you rent a house or stay in a hotel like Las Mañanitas or Camino Real, large gardens and heated pools are a must.
This is a place where travelers can truly relax. The historic center with steep streets and stone façades has numerous restaurants that attract visitors from breakfast to dinner.
Here, people enjoy walking and discovering local shops, colonial buildings, and quaint parks and fountains. This is also where many historic attractions can be found, including the Cathedral and the Plaza de Armas where Cortés Palace is set.
This building dates back to the early 16th century and was created by the Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés as his residence. It is now a key historic place where travelers can discover tales about the city very few people know about.
