Take a stroll through centro histórico and stop by this arquitectural beauty. It was created in 1904 and finalized in 1934 after the Mexican revolution. Inside you can find many paintings by Diego Rivera and it’s well known theater.
Palacio de Bellas Artes
Coyoacán is a neighborhood that feels like a little town within the city. You don’t hear all the caos it’s quieter. I recommend going on a Saturday. They have a lot of art vendors and jewelry vendors. It’s such a cute neighborhood.
Coyoacán
A large forest in the middle of the city. This forest is divided into four parts. Within the park you can find many museums. So far I’ve visited the castle of Chapultepec, museum of modern art, and Lago Algo. Those are all very cool but if you had to...

This bakery has been here since 1927 and is a must stop while in the city ✨

Churreria El Moro Centro

Taking a tour bus is a great way to explore the city! This bus will take you to a lot of main attractions. I would recommend taking the night tour to avoid traffic during the day. Definitely sit at the top floor seats for better views.

Xochimilco during the week is a relaxing visit where you can explore the canals on a boat. If you go during the weekend expect it to be a party. You’ll find mariachi, food and alcohol here as well. Bring some bug spray!

Take a ride on a hot air balloon with the pyramid views. I got a tour where you had a small breakfast with coffee before the ride and lunch buffet after the ride. The views are to die for!
Hot Air Balloon Teotihuacan 2026 | From Mexico City
This is a must even if you’re not religious. You’re able to look at the original chapel built in the 1600s that sinks every year it’s crazy to see it in person. You can hike up the mountain and get amazing views of the city. As you hike up there’s ma...
Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe
