Mexico
Ancient Temples, Sunlit Beaches & Tacos That Steal Your Heart
Where Every Moment is a Fiesta of Colour and Culture
Step into Mexico, and step into a country that dances to the beat of its own drum. Whether you’re exploring ancient ruins deep in the jungle, floating through Mexico City’s canals with a mariachi band, or diving into the turquoise waters of the Yucatán, you’ll quickly discover why this country captures so many hearts.
But beyond the beaches and burritos, Mexico is about feeling - passion in every plate of mole, joy in every fiesta, and warmth in every greeting. With rich heritage, jaw-dropping natural beauty, and some of the best food on the planet, it’s a place where the adventure never ends and the welcome is always real.
Visa Requirements
UK passport holders do not need a visa to enter Mexico for tourism for up to 180 days. You will be given a tourist permit (Forma Migratoria Múltiple) upon arrival - just make sure your passport is valid for the duration of your stay.
Key Airports
- Mexico City International Airport (MEX) – Best for central Mexico and cultural adventures.
- Cancún International Airport (CUN) – Gateway to the Riviera Maya, beaches, and ancient Mayan sites.
- Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) – Ideal for exploring Mexico’s second-largest city, tequila country, and colonial heartlands.
Spoken Languages
Spanish is the official language, though English is widely spoken in major tourist areas. Learning a few Spanish phrases will go a long way and earn you a warm smile.
Try these:
- Hola – Hello
- Gracias – Thank you
- Por favor – Please
- ¿Cuánto cuesta? – How much does it cost?
- ¡Qué rico! – Delicious!
- ¿Dónde está la playa? – Where is the beach?
Mexicans are famously friendly and expressive—don’t be surprised if a local invites you to join their table!
