We've compiled the best of the best in Mexico - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
Though it's among Mexico's most poorly paid orchestras, the state-funded philharmonic manages remarkably good performances (usually pieces by Mexican composers mixed with standard orchestral fare). When in season (it varies), the OFJ performs Sunday afternoon and Wednesday and Friday evening at Teatro Degollado. On the facing plaza, they hold an annual outdoor performance that helps kick off September's Mariachi Festival.
Mexico's National Symphony Orchestra plays regularly throughout the season at the Palacio Bellas Artes, along with visiting orchestras from around the globe. It's one of the best (and most affordable) excuses to enter the iconic building's spectacular main hall. Tickets range from MP1,000 to MP180.
