OVERVIEW

Tijuana is a huge city on Mexico’s north western border, with commercial districts, residential neighbourhoods and industrial zones extending across dry hills. Migration, manufacturing and cross border commerce define its development. The relationship between border energy, creative food and sprawling neighbourhoods in a vast city shaped by migration and industry and exchange gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Food, craft beer and contemporary culture provide the strongest visitor interest, while markets and street life reveal the city’s intensity, while traffic and neighbourhood conditions require focused planning. Spending time with both border energy and creative food and sprawling neighbourhoods in a vast city shaped by migration reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
