One of the city’s truly unmissable museums and an incredible introduction to Mexico’s history and Indigenous cultures. Its extraordinary archaeological collection includes the famous Aztec Sun Stone.
The gorgeous green heart of Mexico City, filled with tree-lined paths, lakes, and museums (including the National Museum of Anthropology). Perfect for a morning stroll, or a run if you’re feeling ambitious (it's Andrew’s favorite running spot in the city)!
One of Mexico City’s grandest avenues, anchored by the iconic golden Ángel de la Independencia. On Sunday mornings, Reforma closes to car traffic for Muévete en Bici, when cyclists, runners, and pedestrians take over the boulevard. Rent a bike, go for a walk, or simply enjoy seeing one of the city’s most famous streets completely transformed.
The former home and studio of legendary Mexican architect Luis Barragán and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An intimate masterclass in his signature use of color, light, texture, and space.
Visit Frida Kahlo’s famous Casa Azul, the cobalt-blue home where she spent much of her life and created many of her works. Leave time afterwards to wander the colorful streets and plazas of Coyoacán.
Chef Gabriela Cámara’s iconic seafood restaurant and one of our absolute musts in the city. Go for a long lunch and don’t miss the tuna tostadas and signature red-and-green pescado a la talla.
A lively Sinaloa-style marisquería serving incredibly fresh seafood. Order a spread of aguachiles, tostadas, oysters, and whatever looks good that day.
Our favorite lowkey taco spot. A perfect lunch while you wander Roma Norte!
A hidden gem of a modern tamalería giving one of Mexico’s most beloved comfort foods a thoughtful spin. Stop by for a savory or sweet tamal.
A beautiful Mexican fragrance house inspired by the botanical world of the Americas. The boutiques are an experience in themselves and Nikki's favorite place to pick up a very good-smelling souvenir.
If you’re extending your time in CDMX, make a day trip to this extraordinary ancient city about 50 kilometers outside the capital. Walk the Avenue of the Dead and take in the monumental Pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
