Where To Go In And Around Mérida, Mexico
"The city’s history and anthropology museum wins me over with its setting: a pale yellow 1911 palace designed by Italian architect Enrico Deserti (who also did Teatro Peón Contreras) and engineer Manuel Cantón Ramos, mixing French Baroque, European neoclassical, and classical styles; inside are Mayan artifacts (placards are in Spanish), and admission is worth it for the house alone—plus it’s a lavish, air-conditioned place to take a break." - Sophie Friedman
