Things To Do

Pyramids of Teotihuacán

Approximately 45 minutes outside of Mexico City, this makes an excellent day trip. Hike over the ruins of the pyramids of the Sun and Moon in the ancient city of Teotihuacán, which was established in 100 BCE. We loved exploring this place, and ate lunch in an underground cave restaurant nearby (La Gruta) after!

Zócalo Plaza

A large square that is the historical center of Mexico City, including central governmental buildings, a historical church, and uncovered ruins. We loved doing the free 2hr walking tour that leaves from here every morning at 11am, and hits many key historical spots!

Bosque de Chapultepec

One of the largest urban parks in the world, boasting a castle-turned-museum on one of it's highest points, one can easily get lost in here for hours. We would highly recommend the Anthropology Museum on the edge of the park!

Frida Kahlo Museum

Explore the former home of two of Mexico's most revered artists, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. We were fascinated by their turbulent life stories, and this was our favorite museum in CDMX!

Pujol

Amongst the top 20 restaurants in the world, make a reservation here for a 7+ course meal in a beautifully decorated restaurant. This is our favorite restaurant that we have ever been to, see pictures of the food we got above!

Pastelería Ideal

Located in the historical district, this is one of Mexico's most famous bakeries! Great for foodies.

Azul Restaurant

One of our favorite restaurants! This restaurant serves up amazing Oaxacan food and a beautiful ambiance. You can visit this restaurant in downtown (Azul Historico) or in the Condesa neighborhood (Azul Condesa)

La Clandestina

If you're looking for a place to taste Mezcals - this is it! Located in the hip Condesa neighborhood :)

Mercado de Artesanías La Ciudadela

This is a great market where you can find any souvenir your heart desires! There are beautiful ceramic pieces, festive clothing and accessories, and plenty of great opportunities to practice your haggling in spanish.

Canals of Xochimilco

About 1.5 hours outside of CDMX, we loved this high-energy boat tour of the historical canals!
