How to Make the Most of Holidays When Traveling
1. Plan short trips
You don’t need two full weeks off to truly disconnect. A long weekend can be more than enough if you choose the right destination.
Capitalia tip: Staying in central neighborhoods like Polanco, Condesa, or Reforma—or destinations like Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta—allows you to experience more in less time.
2. Book in advance
Dates like September, November, and Christmas tend to have high demand. Booking early helps you:
- Secure better rates
- Access greater availability
- Choose the ideal unit category for your trip
Planning ahead transforms a rushed trip into a seamless experience.
3. Combine rest and productivity
More travelers are using holidays to practice bleisure—combining business and leisure.
At Capitalia, you’ll find:
