Things To Do

The Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as the Blue House for the structure's cobalt-blue walls, is a historic house museum and art museum dedicated to the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. It is located in the Colonia del Carmen neighborhood of Coyoacán in Mexico City.
Museo de Antropología
The largest and most visited museum in Mexico.

Museo Rufino Tamayo is a public contemporary art museum located in Mexico City's Chapultepec Park, that produces contemporary art exhibitions, using its collection of modern and contemporary art, as well as artworks from the collection of its founder, the artist Rufino Tamayo.
Eno
Eno is a hip destination nestled in La Colonia Roma. From breakfast to dinner, they've got you covered with a diverse menu with re-imagined favorite dishes approachable to any flavor palate. Indulge in their selection of pastries and coffee too. - One of Melissa's favorite casual diners in the city.
Café De Tacuba
The Café de Tacuba is a 110 year-old restaurant in the City Center. It's arguably Mexico City's most famous historic restaurant. She's a classic. Expect to wait a while for a table if you go mid day.
Cafebrería El Péndulo Condesa
There are many locations to El Pendulo (Coffee + Book store, need I say more?). My favorite locations are in La Condesa + Roma Norte. As a kid, I grew up going here. Ryan and I visited as adults two years ago as well. He loved this place.
Tetetlán
One of the most unique and eye-catching restaurants we’ve ever seen, and it’s located next to the Luis Barragan-designed Casa Pedregal (which you can and should visit). The huge space, formerly the property’s horse stables, is a blend of Barragan architecture and a more modern setup, with a transparent floor exposing the natural volcanic lava stones, and a mix of strange, perfect furniture. There’s a gigantic private book collection scattered throughout the space, which you can browse while going through the huge menu of tacos, tlayudas, and pizzas.
Wabi Sushi
A great and affordable place for some delicious sushi in Roma Norte 🍣
Kura
Another delicious local sushi place to meet friends for lunch or dinner for a good time 😉
Contramar
Soft-shell crab & spicy fish tacos in an airy dining room with an expansive plant-filled patio. SO GOOD.
Molino "El Pujol"
Enrique Olivera’s version of a modern take on Mexican tortillerías. Expect tamales, tacos, bread, coffee, and of course some delicious churros!
Churrería El Moro
El Moro is a famous churreria in Mexico City. The OG location is in El Centro Historico, but any location will do. Condesa and Roma Norte are the closest locations to our hotels, airbnbs and wedding venue. Enjoy!
Handshake Speakeasy
We may not drink much anymore, but the former bartender that still lives within us still appreciates a good cocktail. If you’re looking for a unique cocktail experience in the N1 cocktail bar in North America, go here. 🍸
The Mat MX (Yoga)
Great place to catch a sweaty yoga class or a sound healing session in the late afternoon in Roma Norte. Very steamy.
Goodbye Folk Vintage Clothing
Goodbye Folk has three floors filled with everything you'd want to wear in your model-off-duty era, with the pain of breaking-in already done for you.
Paprika Hair Salon
If you're looking for a pretty affordable haircut or color. Go here or Magma MX. They're both great, and very modern. Love to see and support all the new businesses in the city.
Koti Wellness
As a wellness junkies we needed to add a cold plunge spot to our list. So here it is. 💋
Bazar Resiliente
A super cool bazaar that sells vintage and hand made trinkets and clothing. We love this place!
El Bazar Sábado
This indoor and outdoor handicraft market in the historic San Angel neighborhood is artsy and colorful. Recharge at the charming restaurant in the courtyard of the indoor market.
Plaza Río de Janeiro
A very special park to stroll around while having a cup of coffee in the morning or afternoon. It’s near Eno. There’s a beautiful fountain in the center and you can see puppies taking their walks through out the day. There are also vendors camped out in some corners.
Floating Gardens of Xochimilco
Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its canals stretching more than 100 square miles, Xochimilco is an area of stunning natural and cultural beauty. The gardens, or chinampas, were constructed by the Aztecs from juniper branches, allowing them to grow crops on the little man-made islands. Today, you can journey down the Xochimilco canals formed by these islands in colorful trajinera boats.
