TIJUANA MEXICO
Just a few miles south of San Diego in Baja California State,
Tijuana is the city most visited by U.S. tourists in the world.
During the early 1900s the city grew into a center of cabarets
and nightclubs, when U.S. prohibition laws drove Americans in
search of nightlife across the border. Today, the city is
succeeding in shedding its “sin city” image thanks to a wealth
of cultural offerings.
One of the popular places in the city to visit is the Tijuana
Cultural Center, known as “The Ball,” which hosts permanent
and rotating art exhibits, as well as outdoor concerts during the
spring and summer. Most recently, the Museum of California
was inaugurated, showcasing the history of the Baja California
Peninsula with a spotlight on ethnic groups, natural
attractions, missions and Prohibition-era tourism.
TIJUANA TROLLEY
Another great option to get around is the Tijuana Trolley which
stops at all the tourist sites, including the cultural center,
famous racetrack and shopping centers. Tijuana is also well-
known for dog races, bullfights and Mexican cuisine.
TIJUANA SHOPPING
As a border town, Tijuana is renowned for its duty-free
shopping – one of its most popular pastimes – that offers
luxury items such as perfumes, fine crystals and electronics.
Avenida Revolución is where many of the best shops are
located.
TIJUANA DINING
Tijuana also boasts quite a culinary history. It is where Italian
chef Alex Cardini tossed the very first Ceasar salad, where the
clamato juice was first mixed and where the national cocktail,
the margarita, was created. Two of the leading restaurants in
the area include Cine Años, offering contemporary Mexican
cuisine, and Tour de France, serving French gourmet cuisine.
Visitors interested in a night out on the town can head to Tia
Juana Tilly´s, Hard Rock Café and Señor Frog´s.
The nearby neighbor of Tijuana is a great destination to visit for
upscale shopping, delicious cuisine and cultural activities on
the Mexican border. Travelers interested in a charismatic town
with an interesting background will undoubtedly love Tijuana.
