Holiday in Tijuana

About Tijuana

Tijuana is Mexico's most dynamic border city and lies directly at the US border with San Diego, California. With over 1.8 million inhabitants, it is the largest city in Baja California and a cultural melting pot that combines Mexican tradition with avant-garde creativity. Avenida Revolucion was once famous for tequila bars and tourist kitsch, but in recent years it has transformed into a center for street art, galleries, and independent shops. The Centro Cultural Tijuana (CECUT) with its spherical IMAX dome is the cultural landmark of the city and hosts art exhibitions, a museum, and a theater. Tijuana has developed into the craft beer capital of Mexico: over 100 microbreweries produce innovative beers, and the city holds the unofficial title of the craft beer metropolis of Latin America. Breweries like Cerveceria Insurgente and Border Psycho are internationally renowned. The culinary scene in Tijuana is revolutionary: the so-called Baja Med cuisine combines Mexican, Asian, and Mediterranean influences into a unique fusion. Tacos de Adobada (marinated pork on a skewer) are Tijuana's street food specialty and are freshly prepared at countless stands. The border culture shapes the city: every day, hundreds of thousands of people cross the border in both directions, making Tijuana a unique bicultural space. The border fence, which extends into the sea, serves as both a political symbol and an artistic canvas.
