Any Cities with a “90s vibe” left? (preferably but not necessarily in Europe) As a 90s kid I grew up with the general aesthetics of this era and I actually have fond memories of that time.

Oaxaca City, August 2023 What a gem of a city. It’s a breath of fresh air to visit a city that doesn’t pander to influencers and adjust their identity to trends. Oaxacans are respectful, and are more than happy to share their food, culture and history. submitted by /u/isagab
