Mexicans are just as passionate about sport, with football (soccer) being the most popular game in the country, with both Liga MX and the Mexico National Team attracting passionate fanbases. 

Baseball also enjoys vast popularity; the Mexican League (Liga Mexicana de Béisbol or LMB) is the key competition. Basketball enthusiasts follow the National Professional Basketball League (Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional or LNBP). American football has its presence too, with the Liga de Fútbol Americano Profesional (LFA).

In addition, the nation is famed for boxing events, with regular high-profile matches. Motorsports is celebrated with the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix, held at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Tennis tournaments such as the Mexican Open (Abierto Mexicano de Tenis) in Acapulco also attract International interest.

The price depends on a range of factors including the type of event, performers, venue, and ticket category.

Mexico is a tapestry of vibrant cities, colourful customs, ancient ruins, mouth-watering cuisine, and thousands of miles of beautiful beaches, which makes it one of the world's most fulfilling travel destinations. The Caribbean-kissed Yucatan Peninsula is home to world-famous resort Cancun, turquoise water, and sugar-white sand in addition to a treasure trove of fascinating Mayan remains, most famously Chichen Itza and Tulum. Coffee-producing hills, lush jungles, and prehistoric ruins like Palenque populate the southern state of Chiapas, while neighbouring Oaxaca is known for its unique heritage, delicious fare, and smoky mezcal liquor.

Capital Mexico City is the spicy melting pot and beating heart of the nation, home to eight million residents and nearly as many lively markets and street food stalls, with tacos being only just the beginning of the wonders on offer. The city is also home to a wealth of important cultural attractions like the National Museum of Anthropology and Aztec archaeological sites in addition to trendy neighbourhoods and nightlife venues. Dozens of atmospheric colonial towns like Guanajuato, Zacatecas and San Miguel de Allende and historic cities like Puebla and Guadalajara are located in the centre of the country, while laid back beach towns await on both the Pacific coast and Baja Peninsula.

No matter where you are, it should come as no surprise if you stumble into an impromptu street party near the local plaza - complete with strolling musicians - for such is the Mexican passion for life. Just order another round of tequilas, sit back, and enjoy the show.
