Apart from magnificent beaches to spend the day and buzzing clubs to while away the night, Acapulco is also home to some of the greatest cultural and historical attractions. The highlight of the city is its stunning bay with high rise hotels and green hills as a beautiful backdrop. Even with a population of over one and half million and thousands of travelers from all over the world, the city never seems overcrowded. The sheer size of Acapulco ensures that there's enough space for everyone to lie down on a beach on a lazy and sunny afternoon. The city offers enough opportunities to the couples to spend quality time together in its pockets of calm that include Cliffside restaurants, a secluded 17th century fort, Zocalo in the Old Town and a world class botanical garden.
