Hotels in Veracruz, Mexico

Veracruz is a coastal state in eastern Mexico with a tropical climate-hot and humid year-round, averaging 75-90°F (24-32°C). It's famous for its port city's 16th-century San Juan de Ulúa fortress, where you can explore Spanish colonial history, and for son jarocho music, the lively folk genre you'll hear in Plaza de Armas. Winters from November to April are drier, perfect for surfing in the Gulf of Mexico at Playa Chachalacas, while summers bring frequent rains that help grow the region's renowned vanilla and coffee-visit a farm in the Coatepec highlands.
