Culturally, Tokyo is a fascinating fusion of tradition and modernity. From its ancient temples and Zen gardens to the bustling streets of Shibuya and Shinjuku, the city gives an unique experience that attracts visitors from all over the world.  

Mexico City

The second has a population of over 21 million in its metropolitan area, Mexico City is the second largest city in the world.

This metropolis is the beating heart of Mexico, both in terms of culture and economy.

Mexico City is one of the oldest cities in the Americas, with a history dating back more than 700 years.
