Maybe it's the romantic history of spice ships and pirates; maybe it's the golden beaches, tropical jungles and lagoons; or perhaps it's the high-rise hotels, glittery nightlife and famous cliff-divers that have made Acapulco the foremost resort town in Mexico.

Acapulco's weather is close to perfect all year round. The wet months are between June and October but temperatures stay comfortable and the humidity never gives too much cause for complaint.

The lovely mask museum Casa de las Máscaras houses an amazing collection of masks from around Mexico, with an especially impressive display of high quality masks by modern artists. Signs are in Spanish, but if you're thinking about buying a Mexican mask, come here first to learn where to shop and what to look for.

The beautifully restored pentagonal fort Fuerte de San Diego was built in 1616. The fort is now home to the Museo Histórico de Acapulco, which has fascinating exhibits detailing the city's history, with Spanish and English captions.
