Must-see attractions

Museo Histórico Naval

　　Occupying a former naval academy, this high-tech museum offers a titanic lesson in Mexico’s maritime heritage, with plenty of interactive displays and an attractive layout.

San Juan de Ulúa

　　The city's colonial fortress is almost hidden amid the container ships and cranes across the harbor.
