Tijuana is one of the top destinations that comes to mind when thinking about Mexico.
This bustling border city is a popular vacation destination for residents of the United States, and it’s also a great place to visit if you’re looking for somewhere exciting to spend your next break.
That’s because Tijuana is known for its lively nightlife scene, shopping, and entertainment options.
Of course, one of the main reasons for its popularity is its mouthwatering cuisine. There are plenty of great restaurants to try in the city proper, where the options range from high-end Mexican dishes to fast food and traditional grub.
For those with more adventurous palates, however, it’s best to visit one of the many stand-alone taquerías that dot the city.
For those looking for a little activity to burn off all the extra calories, Morelos Park is a great place to go for a walk or jog, while individuals interested in learning more about Mexican culture should head to the iconic Cultural Center in the Zona Río district.
