Things To Do
Xochimilco
Do a boat day on the floating gardens of Xochimilco! We recommend booking through an Airbnb tour group to have a guide to tell the stories and history. Bring your own beverages and snacks on board, or enjoy from the tour host. Do not buy from the vendors in boats—there is a high probability you will get sick.
Tepoztlán
Take a day trip to Tepoztlán! Take in the scenic mountains and gardens, and walk the colorful streets lined with vendors, crafts, drinks and treats. Enjoy a good michelada, and get some authentic Mexican food in the heart of Morelos. And yes, I took this photo :)
Teotihuacán
Take about an hour drive to the Mayan ruins in Teotihuacán and get a dose of history. Pro tip, there is a small local restaurant on the way back with the best mole enchiladas around. You can also find authentic pulque- a traditional fermented liquor from the maguey plant with tons of natural probiotics. We did a tour through Airbnb, where a tour guide and transportation is included!
La Merced Market
If you’re an adventurous eater and want to experience the biggest market in Mexico City, go check out la merced. We advise arranging a tour on Airbnb with a local guide as it’s so large you will get lost, and you will definitely need a translator.
Museo Nacional de Antropología
If you’re a museum person, the anthropology museum is one of the best we’ve been to. Very close to the hotels as well.
Zócalo
Walk from the hotel to the Zócalo to experience Mexico City architecture, markets, restaurants, bars, and even see the presidential palace.
MAQUE CAFÉ
The best breakfast place we’ve been to. We make a plan to go here every trip. The bread and pastries are the best, and we can never pass up chilaquiles and a good coffee.
Taquería Orinoco
The best tacos in Mexico City. Period.
Balcón del Zócalo
An upscale restaurant with great cocktails and stunning views of the zócalo.
Bar Pata Negra
Casual pub in the zócalo with good drinks and casual atmosphere within walking distance to the hotels.
Tolantongo
If you’re in for an all day adventure, three hours from Mexico City lie the hot springs of Tolantongo.
La Pancita de la Roma
The best chilaquiles and cafe de olla around. They are also famous for their menudo if that floats your boat!
Marlindo
Shrimp tacos, fish tacos, and Mexican seafood. Amazing.
Mandolina Roma
A bougie brunch and cocktails. The place is filled with lemons! Very almafi coast vibes.
Tacos Don Juan
It’s only open until late afternoon so plan accordingly
Mercado Roma
Check out Cervezeria Pacheco for some really great local craft beer.
Drunkendog
Obviously I would find somewhere with dogs as the theme. This is a fun brewery/pub to check out :)
