Mexico City
Teotihuacán
You can visit Teotihuacán on your own by bus, but I highly recommend the tour I did which had an incredibly knowledgeable guide, transportation, lunch, and some other unique excursions.
Museo Frida Kahlo
A must-visit is the Museo Frida Kahlo, also known as the Blue House. To visit the former home of the artist pair Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in the Coyoacan neighborhood, you need to purchase tickets in advance.
Museo Nacional de Antropología
Another must-visit is the National Museum of Anthropology. At the edge of Chapultepec Park and the Polanco neighborhood, spend an afternoon here and feel immersed in the histories of people from around the globe.
Bosque de Chapultepec
It will take days to see the whole park. Aside from having a hard time finding the right entrance, I spent a little time over a few different days here, and while there are many museums and attractions in the park, I think I liked section II better than the closer-to-Centro section I.
Eat Mexico Food Tour
On recommendation from a friend, I did the San Juan Market and Street Food tour from Eat Mexico tours. I ended up being the only guest and had a private tour on a Sunday afternoon with barbacoa and other amazing Mexican street eats.
Bazaar Sabado
San Angel’s Saturday-only market is filled with artisans and designers — a perfect place for a lovely courtyard lunch and to shop for gifts and artwork.
Soumaya Museum
A gorgeous modern museum packed with art from all eras, the special exhibit when I went — Rodin. “The Thinker” sat in the lobby and an entire floor with a skylit atrium was full of miraculous statues.
Walking Tours
I did two walking tours from Estación Mexico (Roma/Condesa & Historic Downtown) and would definitely do more. Check out their options next time in Mexico.
Get Lost Wandering The City
One of my favorite ways to see a new place is to just start walking, get a little lost, and see what you find.
