A large number of them, have multiplex cinemas, international and local restaurants, food courts, cafes, bars, bookstores and most of the international renowned clothing brands are found too.

Mexicans are prone to travel within their own country, making short weekend trips to a neighbouring city or town.

The favorite sport remains soccer while baseball is also popular especially in the Gulf of Mexico and bordering states. American football is practiced at the major universities.

The national sport of Mexico is Charreria and Bullfighting.
