Do you want to escape from the long-sticky smog, snail walking jams and invasion of American tourists in Mexico City?
I know exactly the place!
According to New data Shared by Mexico News Daily, a nearby city sees one 25% peak in air travelBut that is just the tip of the non -existent iceberg, because there is also more exciting news about how you can get here.

As the allure of Tulum has disappeared and more authentic destinations are rising, the most trendy outings of Mexico are nowadays where you are the least expected-the pristine banks of Ixtapa, rising neighbors of Cancun, and yes, even a lively, European-like city without a beach in sight.
While Cancun, Los Cabos and Mexico City still compete the most popular vacation spots in Mexico, such as underrated cities such as Queretaro Make a quick name for themselves and become even more tempting with a new train project that goes with us and shockingly cheap stay (without sacrificing luxury!).
Mexico: The world’s new slow travel destination


Who would have done it? Because the US has been plagued us for years with new trains, Mexico has never flourished, Mexico has become the North -American destination to see the world low and slowly.
Although there were undoubtedly a few hiccups with the long -awaited Maya train, that was not the first chain of Mexico in train journeys, such as the Chepe Express Has been one of the most underrated adventures in the country for a long time.
Last year, more train routes were also launched and mostly flew under the radar. Especially the exciting Tequila ExpressWhere you don’t have to worry about a designated driver or even the lesser -known Tren Interoceánico, who ventures through what feels like unknown territory with stops in unheard of indigenous communities and secret beach cities.


The newest addition is an exciting Mexico city -Queretaro route. Kicking hit the dirt and the completion date last month 2027.
The full journey from Mexico City is expected to take just under 2 hours, with 124 km / h.
Until it is ready to roll, as mentioned earlier, air travel has risen to Queretaro. In reality, Americans can fly directly from 7 American airports (8 If you count the San Diego/Tijuana flee).
Queretaro exudes European vibes
Come here how you can do it. It is one of the unicorns of Mexico. Although I have not yet visited Queretaro, from what I read (and what we have treated before, it offers similar vibes as one of my favorite Mexican outings, Guanajuato – a piece of Europe within the enormous limits of Mexico.


Many of the historic cities of Mexico, such as Oaxaca, Guadalajara and Merida, offer aesthetics at the next level, but few transport you to Europe without the resistance of a long -distance flight ‘over the pond’.
Queretaro is on UNESCO-GEENTED and is particularly known for its timeless city center, which has stunning cathedrals and picturesque squares that have undergone the test of time through by means of getting tangles.
Vlant with paved streets, enjoy velvety cappuccinos at Sidewalk cafes and wonder on various graceful structures at every turn.
Queretaro is much proud of the preservation. In fact, it is generally considered the birthplace of Mexican independence, which leads the indictment against Spanish rule in the 19th century.


Even better, you should feel completely comfortable to explore the city on foot to take the sights. It is being considered One of the safest cities in Mexico.
Make sure you look at it 3 great sites During your trip:
- Temple of Santa Rosa de Viterbo
- Teatro de la República
- Temple of Santa Cruz
Cheap food and affordable luxury
Chances are that if you have taken it that far, you are a fan of Mexican food like me! Although I am lucky to live and spoil near the border with some of Baja’s best tacos, Queretaro offers a deeper dive in Mexico’s gastronomy instead of battered Vistacos and simple Carne Asada.


Not only will your taste buds also thank you, but also your wallet. It is completely feasible to have a whole meal below $ 5 and we are not talking about hot dogs with a bacon from a park seller.
We talk Enchiladas Queretanas” Gorditas de Migajasand warm sopas Packed with taste – None of that will you regret that you are trying at least.
It is also easy to stay with hotels with hotels and you don’t have to downgrade to a Podunk Motel.
My choice would be the historic 4-star Andy Hotelgo for a striking $ 47 a night on Priceline this summer, but in the past we have also recommended to level more modern excavations at Queretaro Casa Inngo for $ 82.


But for those who want to immerse themselves in the daily lifestyle of Queretaro, they can also opt for a Homer feeling with local inns such as such as Casa Frida B&B With praising reviews and $ 60 rates.
