Mexico City stole my heart. This is everything from our four days there โ the sunrise balloon ride, the museums, the wild nights, and every taco stop that made the trip. Steal it for your own CDMX trip!
๐ Start With the Balloon
We kicked things off before sunrise with a hot air balloon flight over the Teotihuacรกn pyramids, paired with a visit to La Gruta and the ruins themselves. Itโs an early alarm, but the pyramids from above are unreal โ worth every minute of lost sleep.
๐จ Frida Kahloโs House
Museo Frida Kahlo (the Casa Azul) was next. Book tickets ahead โ they sell out fast in high season, especially if youโre visiting during a busy month.
๐คผ A Wild Night at Arena Mรฉxico
Lucha Libre and tequila made for one of the loudest, most chaotic, most fun nights of the trip. Great pick whether youโre traveling as a couple, solo, or in a group.
๐ฐ Chapultepec Castle + Parque de Chapultepec
A must-see. Pair the castle with the Anthropology Museum right next door โ easy to fit both into one afternoon, with the park itself worth wandering afterward.
๐ถ Historic Downtown, on Foot
We closed things out with a walk through the Zรณcalo, past Bellas Artes, and through the Historic Downtown โ the best way to get to know the historic city on foot.
๐ฎ Where We Ate
โข Tacos La Bonvi and Maizajo โ two of the best taco stops in the city
โข Mercado 89 in Coyoacรกn โ a market worth an afternoon on its own
โข La Casa de Las Sirenas and Pazzezca Pizzerรญa โ our favorite sit-down meals
๐น Where We Drank
โข Midnight Monkey โ a great little jazz bar
โข Salon Palomilla, El Ayer, and Sala de Despecho โ all worth a night out, whether youโre after live music or just people-watching
โข Toledo Rooftop โ save this one for golden hour
๐ถโโ๏ธ And Just Walking Around CDMX
Some of our favorite moments werenโt on any itinerary โ just wandering La Roma, taking in the architecture and the neighborhood feel.
Save this for your CDMX trip, and let me know if you find somewhere even better โ Iโm always adding to the list. Follow along at @viabergit for more.
