You step out of the arrivals gate and are met by a driver holding a name sign — the city hums, engines and voices knitting into the air. The welcome ride moves away from Benito Juárez International with an easy cadence, windows framing the skyline as the driver points out the first landmarks: the Zócalo’s broad plaza, the Metropolitan Cathedral’s layered façades, and the tiled dome of the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
