Find charming cafés and restaurants in the leafy streets of Condesa, especially along its main avenue, Amsterdam, or the beautiful Parque España. Nearby, Roma is lined with trendy restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Many of them are housed in gorgeous restored houses from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The dining scene is also strong in Polanco, particularly in the area that surrounds Parque Lincoln. This lovely park is usually populated with local families enjoying a day out. This neighborhood is also your best bet for high-end shopping. Its main avenue, Presidente Masaryk, is home to a fabulous selection of designer boutiques.

These hot springs are fantastic day trip from Mexico City. Start your day relaxing in cliff top pools with a view over the countryside, before a dip in the warm river waters and a chance to see the famous cave and waterfall of this special turquoise water paradise.
This tour can be done in one day, leaving early from Mexico City for the four hour drive to the hot springs in Tolantantongo. You’re sure to enjoy the cleansing properties of the turquoise hot springs. We recommend taking this tour on a weekday when the pools are a little quieter.
Following breakfast en-route, on arrival at the hot springs, we get to the cliff top pools early in the day, so you can get that sought after Instagram shot in these one-of-a-kind pools. Each pool is fed by the natural hot springs in this area, and due to the minerals found in the rocks, the water is an incredible hue. It’s a natural spa – no filters required!
You can opt for a zipline down from the pools to the river, or hike down through nature. The river is also a wonderful color, and warm to the touch. It’s a great place for a dip, followed by a delicious lunch on the riverside.
After lunch, you can enjoy the pools or the river, or for the more adventurous, explore the tunnels and caves that lead to a beautiful waterfall spot. Make sure to bring water shoes or hiking sandals that you don’t mind getting wet, along with a waterproof cover for your phone or camera.
Tick off two bucket list activities in one day trip from Mexico City. Visit Teotihuacan – the pre-Aztec City of the Gods – and get a feel for the scale of this ancient city and its incredible pyramids by hot air balloon, before walking the site itself.
At about 50km north east of Mexico City, Teotihuacan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a city of great historical importance built over 2,000 years ago. We leave early in the morning to get to the pyramids for a dawn flight over the City of the Gods in a hot air balloon.
Your hot air balloon is perfect for 12 people, so if you’re in a group on vacation for a special occasion, this is a fantastic day trip to take. Following a light breakfast (and some mezcal for those afraid of heights!), we set sail above this ancient city in your very own hot air balloon. You will get some incredible shots of the most important monuments – the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and the Temple of Quetzacoatzl. Enjoy the views and the morning light for 40-50 minutes – a truly magical experience!
On landing, we treat you to a glass of champagne, a coffee and more to eat, before driving over to the site itself. You’ll have the opportunity to walk the site, exploring the magnificent structures with a guide who will reveal all the interesting stories of this mesoamerican city.
We recommend wearing layers and closed shoes for this trip, because it can be chilly in the early morning, and the sun is strong later in the day. Bring sunscreen and a hat if you plan to walk a lot, as there is very little shade in Teotihuacan. Transport to and from your accommodation in Mexico City is included.
Fancy immersing yourself in traditional Mexican culture and having a great time whilst doing so? Climb aboard a trajinera, a traditional flat-bottomed gondola-style boat, in the borough of Xochimilco in Mexico Cityand experience the famous Mexico City Xochimilco Tour.
A boat party on a traditional Mexican trajinera is a party like no other you will have experienced before. This floating fiesta on one of Mexico City’s last remaining Aztec canals is an unmissable experience. The tradition of the trajinera has existed since the 1910s, but the canals have been used as a transportation method since the pre-Hispanic era. Xoxhimilco, dubbed as the “Venice of Mexico”, is an ancient network of canals and islands. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the south of Mexico City.
Xochimilco’s lifeblood flows through its canals, lined with festive and colorful trajineras. These brightly painted wooden boats are the vessels of choice for tourists and locals alike, each named affectionately after Mexican women. Imagine boarding “La Guadalupe” or “La Maria,” and instantly becoming part of a floating caravan that celebrates life with music, marimbas, and mariachis playing live on neighboring boats. It’s a communal celebration where every boat is a floating stage and every row a dance floor.

Floating gardens. Xochimilco, Mexico City
As you float down these historic waters, every corner offers a snapshot of local life and customs. From the chinampas (floating gardens) showcasing sustainable ancient farming methods to spontaneous performances by folk dancers, every moment is a living postcard of Mexican heritage. The chinampas are man-made gardens full of vegetables, fruit, and flowers. Many of Mexico City’s finest restaurants rely on the chinampas for fresh and locally-grown produce. In fact, local fine dining restaurant, Pujol, which was recently awarded two Michelin stars, sources many of its ingredients from this area. Check out our guide to the best restaurants in Mexico City – a must-see for those visiting the city. The ancient gardens are now vital for urban sustainability and are protected by UNESCO. Your visit also contributes to the preservation of these traditions.

You can get to see a surprising amount of Mexico City through the 114 miles of winding chinampas-filled channels. Learn about the fascinating and bone-chilling story of La Isla de las Muñecas, or The Island of Dolls. Legend has it that the thousands of dolls hung on the trees on this island are to protect it from evil spirits. This was after a girl was found drowned in the waters nearby. You can visit it and walk around the island, if you dare! There are plenty of other stops you can make in your trajinera; visiting local markets and restaurants along the way.
Planning Your Trip to Xochimilco in Mexico City
As part of this tour, we not only organize your boat, but also a cooler of drinks, plenty of snacks, and some music to dance the afternoon away.

Each boat fits up to 20 people, making them perfect for large gatherings.
When is the best time to visit Xochimilco?
Correctly timing your visit will undoubtedly improve your experience. If you are looking to party, meet other groups, and share tequila shots with strangers, weekends are definitely for you. Peak seasons such as Cinco de Mayo and Dia de los Muertos are bustling with activity, music, and people. However, if you want a more chilled experience, consider a weekday visit. Early mornings are magical too, with the mist rising over the calm waters. You can also take a “sunset tour” in the late afternoon, and watch the sunset over the city and reflect in canals.

Frida Kahlo tour: What to know before you visit Casa Azul Mexico City
About the Frida Kahlo House
The Frida Kahlo Museum, also known as Casa Azul, is a historic house and art museum located in the Colonia del Carmen neighborhood of Coyoacan, Mexico City. Named for its striking cobalt-blue walls, the museum was originally Frida Kahlo’s birthplace and the home where she lived with her husband, Diego Rivera. It was also the place where she later died in 1954. Diego Rivera donated this house and its contents in 1957 to be preserved and transformed into a museum in her honor.
The museum showcases a rich collection of Kahlo’s artwork, along with pieces by Rivera and other artists. It also features pre-Hispanic artifacts, Mexican folk art, personal belongings, and photographs that offer a glimpse into Kahlo’s life. The rooms of the house have remained largely unchanged since the 1950s, preserving the intimate atmosphere of Frida’s life. As one of the most popular art scenes in Mexico City, La Casa Azul attracts countless visitors who wish to connect with the life and legacy of Frida Kahlo.
Want to learn more about the Frida Kahlo House, or start planning your tour already? Reach out to us and make the dream come true!
The rooms
The museum features ten rooms, each offering a glimpse into Frida Kahlo’s life and art. The ground floor begins with a room displaying some of Kahlo’s minor works, such as ‘El Marxismo Dará Salud (1954)’, ‘Retrato de Familia (1934)’, and ‘Frida y la Cesárea (1907–1954)’, among others. This space was once the formal living room where Frida and Diego hosted notable figures like Dolores del Rio, Nelson Rockefeller, and Sergei Eisenstein.
The second and third rooms are dedicated to personal mementos and some of Diego Rivera’s works. The second room is filled with Frida’s everyday items, photographs, letters, and her iconic Tehuana-style dresses and pre-Hispanic necklaces. The third room showcases Rivera’s paintings, including ‘Ofrenda del día de Muertos (1943)’, and ‘Retrato de Carmen Portes Gil (1921)’.
In the fourth room, contemporary artworks by Paul Klee and other top artists are displayed, while the fifth room contains two large papier-mache Judas figures. The 6th and 7th rooms house the dining room and kitchen, designed in classic Mexican style with blue and yellow tiles, where Frida spent much of her time. The two rooms are filled with large earthenware pots, glassware, utensils, plates, and more which came from Oaxaca, and Metepec. Off the dining room was Rivera’s bedroom, with his work clothes, jacket, and hat still hanging from a wall rack.
Upstairs, visitors can explore Frida’s final bedroom and studio, preserved as they were. The studio features her wheelchair and an unfinished portrait of Stalin, while her bedroom contains her ashes, personal items, and a mirror she used for painting self-portraits. The bed’s headboard and footboard display a painting of a dead child and a photo montage of Communist leaders, respectively, reflecting her political beliefs.
The Art, sketches, and paintings of Frida Kahlo
The first-floor rooms of Frida Kahlo’s home are dedicated to her art, sketches, and paintings. Here, you can find most of her smaller, lesser-popular paintings, as several of her major works are housed in museums worldwide. A highlight of the arts and paintings is Viva la Vida, the last painting Frida completed before her death. The painting’s title, meaning “Live Your Life,” is poignant, reflecting her awareness that the end was near.
A lesser-known aspect of Frida’s life is her connection to photography, inherited from her father, Guillermo Kahlo, who was a photographer. The exhibit includes several family photos taken by Guillermo, as well as photographs Frida herself took. Frida was a captivating subject and took photography as seriously as painting, often directing her photo shoots to convey exactly what she wanted.
Among the many photos on display, one of the most striking is of Frida gazing into the water in the canals of Xochimilco. This image captures her beauty and the depth of her artistic vision. Though recreating this photo today would be difficult due to the area’s popularity, it remains a testament to her enduring influence in both art and photography.
Exhibition of Frida’s Dresses
Frida Kahlo was renowned for her distinctive style, which remains influential in fashion trends today. But what inspired her choices? From her vibrant dresses to her intricate hairdos, every item in her wardrobe was carefully selected for a reason. The exhibition of her dresses provides insight into these choices, with exhibits accompanied by detailed write-ups in both Spanish and English, explaining the “what, why, and how” of Frida’s dressing style.
Frida’s unique fashion sense was deeply connected to her life experiences, particularly the two traumatic events that left her physically disabled. She used her style not only to complement her physical disabilities but also to make a bold, feminine statement rooted in her indigenous heritage. The exhibition beautifully captures this interplay between fashion and identity.
If you are someone who gets emotionally involved with stories, you will find the write-ups accompanying Frida’s dress exhibition profoundly moving. They vividly conveyed the pain and resilience in her life, making you feel a deep sense of despair. You will even feel dizzy as you imagine how Frida dealt with her traumas through her dressing style.
The Garden and Courtyard
The Frida Kahlo tour ends in the expansive courtyard and garden, enclosed by the four wings or sides of the house. The courtyard is divided by a reflection pool, a fountain, and a stepped pyramid, echoing the Aztec architecture that resonates with Mexican heritage. These were built by Diego Rivera in the 1940s when he expanded the house.
The walls facing the courtyard are decorated with mirrors and marine shells, adding a unique artistic touch. Sculptures by Mexican artist Mardonio Magana are also displayed here. One side of the courtyard bears an inscription that reads, “Frida y Diego / vivieron en / esta casa / 1929–1954” (Frida and Diego lived in this house:1929 to 1954), commemorating the couple’s years in the home.
The garden itself is a vibrant display of plants and flowers from Mexico and around the world, each labeled for visitors to appreciate and understand what flowers and plants were there. In Frida’s time, the garden was alive with her pet birds, monkeys, and visiting butterflies, creating a lively, colorful sanctuary. Walking through the garden, you will be enveloped in the same bright, bold atmosphere that inspired Frida’s artwork. The colors, the artistic energy, and the cool, serene environment invite you to pause, sit on one of the benches, relax, and absorb the creative spirit that still lingers in the air.
Now that you are familiar with what to expect before you visit Casa Azul Mexico City, let’s design a personalized itinerary for your adventure.
Coyoacan Neighborhood
Coyoacan, where the museum is located, is a charming neighborhood worth exploring. If you visit the museum on a Saturday, be sure to check out the local market just a few blocks away. Here, you will find everything from leather bags and trinkets to raw meat and fridge magnets, all at bargain prices.
When you need a break from all the city’s walking tours, enjoy authentic Mexican food from one of the many food stalls—just remember to bring cash in Mexican Pesos. Nearby, San Ángel offers more street activities and art galleries, making it another great spot to explore.
