Mexico City with Julie Meade
Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on May 5, 2025.
When the Aztecs built their capital on an island in Lake Texcoco 700 years ago, they could not have imagined it would grow into the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere. Mexico guidebook author Julie Meade joins us to unspool the long history leading from these Aztec origins to the varied and vibrant culture of today's Mexico City. With Julie at our side, we dig into archaeological treasure troves like the Templo Mayor and National Museum of Anthropology, immerse ourselves in Mexican muralism and contemporary art, and savor tastes of tacos and cantina culture along the way.
