Mexico's safest travel destinations

Mexico's capital - Mexico City - is among the safest cities in the country. In fact, it tops Lonely Planet's list of the safest places in Mexico. Take a look below at Lonely Planet U.S.editor Robert Reid's rundown of the safest cities in Mexico below:

• Mexico City: loads of cultural diversions 
• Merida: Colonial charm and archaeological wonders just four hours from Cancun.
• Todos Santos: A quiet and quaint town in Baja California Sur (one of Mexico's safest states) and beyond the hustle of Cabo San Lucas.
• San Miguel de Allende: an American ex-pat enclave with great hotels and restaurants.
• Huatulco: 12 miles of some of Mexico's most pristine (and uncrowded) beach front.
• Playa del Carmen: the Mayan Rivera's pedestrian-friendly party central town.
• Guanajuato: A 16th-century hill town with a bohemian vibe, about 30 minutes from the Leon airport.
• Puebla: A "mini Mexico City" brimming with arts and culture.
