For an authentic look at Mexico's history and culture, there's no better destination than Mexico City. Famous Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera once lived in the Coyoacan neighborhood, and there are multiple museums showcasing their artwork there. The massive Chapultepec Castle, a sacred site of the Aztecs, is a site to behold from both the inside and outside. If you don't mind driving, some of the most famous Aztec pyramids are just over two hours from the city. There are plenty of direct daily flights to take you from Chicago to Mexico City in around four hours.
Street food may be popular in Chicago, but nowhere compares to Mexico City in that regard. There's inexpensive and delicious Mexican food available on almost every corner, just make sure you let the vendor know if you don't want it too spicy. The city is full of impressive museums, and if you're looking for an exciting live show, check out Mexican wrestling, known as Lucha libre, at Arena Mexico. The train is an affordable, convenient way to get around Mexico City, although it gets busy during rush hour. Taxis aren't the best, and it's better to use a rideshare service.
