    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    Cuernavaca lies in a valley south of Mexico City in Morelos, at a lower elevation that gives it the mild climate behind its long-standing nickname as the city of eternal spring. The centre is colonial around the cathedral and the palace, with walled garden estates spreading across the slopes.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    The Palace of Cortés, among the oldest colonial buildings on the American mainland, holds a Diego Rivera mural cycle across its terrace and is the city's principal sight. The cathedral compound and the Borda garden are close by, and the pre-Hispanic site of Xochicalco is a short drive away.
