Location is key when deciding where to stay here. As a large city, there’s a variety of areas to choose from depending on what you’re looking for. Just south of the historical centre is Colonia Roma, which can be described as idyllic and trendy. Vegetation lines the streets, complimenting the unique architecture in turn creating a relaxed vibe which has become a millennial safe-haven in this fast-paced & bustling megacity.
However, the hipster bars and eateries dotted around this district can be to thank for this district gaining merit for it’s culinary scene. One could easily hop along the selection of restaurants and cafes through Roma Norte & Sur, and never get bored of the cuisine.
After you’ve spent a morning gliding through Colonial Roma, take yourself south of the city to the home turned museum of iconic Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo, where you can bide your time learning about the artists life, career and the causes most important to her, which live on through her memory.
South of the city you’ll find Mexico’s own little Venice, Xochimilco. A colourful boat trip winding through a labyrinth of canals and you will find floating vendors, who approach your vessel, offering local delicacies and drinks. To keep you entertained whilst you indulge, mariachi bands often come by and keep you company with their music.
If you’re in the city on a Sunday, head to La Languilla flea market. Here, you’ll find everything from antiques to vintage clothes, food & drink stalls you’ll lose yourself in (literally). Head to the Teotihuacan Pyramids, just outside the city to top up your knowledge of Mayan history. There isn’t a better way to end your time in Mexico City than by heading to a Lucha Libre wrestling match, an authentic experience for anyone lucky enough to visit.
