Why? In short, because of its economic growth, its cuisine, colonial architecture, and cultural expressions. ### **Merida at the Readers' Choice Awards** ![Mérida-entre-las-mejores-5-ciudades-del-mundo_blog_2](https://blog.simca.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/M%C3%A9rida-entre-las-mejores-5-ciudades-del-mundo_blog_2.jpg?width=1200&height=700&name=M%C3%A9rida-entre-las-mejores-5-ciudades-del-mundo_blog_2.jpg) This year, at the Readers' Choice Awards, Merida was recognized as **the fourth best** in the *Best Big Cities* category, surpassing cities such as Quebec, Montreal and Istanbul, and just under Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo. The Readers' Choice Awards are the most important awards within the travel industry, in celebration of the best places on the planet. On this occasion, about 250 thousand people completed the survey to vote on which of the cities they'd visited they preferred, and why. Finally, the winners were announced within the framework of awards' 35th anniversary. Some of the aspects the magazine noted about Merida included the presence of Mayan culture and its living traditions and customs, easy access to UNESCO-recognized sites such as the archaeological zones of Uxmal and Chichen Itza, and its proximity to the beach and the port of Progreso.   ### **Live in Mérida, a city with a high quality of life** ![Mérida-entre-las-mejores-5-ciudades-del-mundo_blog_3](https://blog.simca.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/M%C3%A9rida-entre-las-mejores-5-ciudades-del-mundo_blog_3.jpg?width=1200&height=700&name=M%C3%A9rida-entre-las-mejores-5-ciudades-del-mundo_blog_3.jpg) Merida isn't only recognized by international travel magazines, but it is also becoming increasingly recognized as one of the best places to live in Mexico due to its high quality of life.
