Cuernavaca, the "City of Eternal Spring" has a mild and pleasant climate and superb sub-tropical gardens. The city has mostly beautiful warm, sunny days, and cooler nights. It gets hotter for a few weeks in the spring, before the rainy season commences. Because it mostly rains at night, you can relax in the sun year round. You may need a light sweater or jacket in the evenings.
   Cuernavaca's plazas, colonial architecture, gardens, museums and churches will keep the tourist and historian in you happy for days. Ringed by mountains, the city offers delightful vistas. Tucked away in cobble-stoned streets and behind high walls you will find magnificent houses, many of which are now fine museums, galleries and delightful garden restaurants.
   Interestingly, the city has for decades been one of the main places where foreigners come to learn Spanish at one of the many language schools. Summer courses, seminars and a wide range of academic activities are held in this semi-tropical and very pleasant climate.
   The nightlife is rich and varied, and the options for eating out could not be better. Restaurants in the downtown area and throughout the city (some of which are first class) specialize in regional Mexican dishes that can be enjoyed in spacious gardens. There is also the option of having a refreshing drink in the lively, young atmosphere of the soda fountains located in front of the Palacio de Cortés.
