Museum
Diego Rivera’s famous mural “The History of Mexico,” showcases the history of the nation, from the Aztec era through the conquest to the Revolution and the development of industry. It’s grandiose and captivating, a unique opportunity to learn about Mexico’s past through art. Not to mention it’s free: The mural is housed in a distinguished building east of the Zócalo that operates as a government office. Among the office workers milling about, you’ll see a mix of local, national, and international tourists who come to be awe-stricken by Rivera’s masterpiece.
Ruins
Our must-visit Mexico City attraction is actually located just outside the city, in the State of Mexico. However, the famed and to this day mysterious Pirámides de Teotihuacán are some of the capital’s most accessible and impressive sets of archaeological ruins, so we couldn’t exactly leave them out! Climb the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon and marvel over the lengthy Avenue of the Dead, but don’t forget to take water and sunscreen.
With its wide beaches, reasonable hotel rates and extensive outdoor and cultural activities, Mazatlan offers plenty for vacationers over 55 years old to love. No other Mexico beach destination, after all, offers the opportunity to spend the day on the beach and the evening dining in a beautifully restored historic downtown before heading to a performance at the pristine, 19th-century Angela Peralta Theater.
Among the best accommodation options for adults without kids is El Cid Marina Beach Hotel, an upscale property that sits on a marina, making it easy to arrange excursions such as catamaran cruises and deep-sea fishing for blue marlin, white marlin and sailfish. The hotel’s Elite All-Inclusive Plan is an especially good option, with benefits that include pool concierge service, VIP check-in and access to the Elite Club. Guests can also participate in painting and cooking classes, tequila tasting sessions, turtle releases and golfing at the nearby El Cid Golf & Country Club, which has a 27-hole PGA-rated championship course.
This Baja California hot spot proves its upscale appeal with a variety of luxury resort hotels, and senior travelers are sure to find plenty of grown-up excitement along its shores. From world-class sport fishing to teeing off at championship golf courses, Los Cabos provides myriad opportunities to stay active.
For indulgent, adults-only accommodations, top choices include Marquis Los Cabos All-Inclusive Resort & Spa, which has three swimming pools and a 13,000-square-foot spa.
Meanwhile, foodies can satisfy their palates at The Ridge by Playa Grande, which this year launched a new Farm to Table Dinner Experience at its eponymous restaurant, with organic ingredients harvested from local farms by Solmar Hotels & Resorts chefs.

Climb the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon and marvel over the lengthy Avenue of the Dead, but don’t forget to take water and sunscreen.
Museum
Although the Museo Nacional de Antropología is also located in the aforementioned Bosque de Chapultepec, it more than deserves an entry of its own, especially given that it’s Mexico’s most visited tourist attraction. Housing a truly jaw-dropping number of artifacts, relics and temporary exhibits related to the Mesoamerican history of Mexico, everyone from history buffs to the casual observer will leave impressed.
Market
If you’re looking for fresh food, or even just want to soak up the sights, sounds and smells of a traditional Mexican marketMercado de la Merced is a must. Here, you’ll find piles of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as plenty of food puestos(tip: eat at the busier ones!). However, keep your wits about you, as it can be disorientating and getting lost is easy.
With its beautifully walkable downtown, award-winning restaurants and interesting art galleries, Puerto Vallarta is a wonderful place for travelers interested in culture and sophisticated dining. It’s also great for those
ooking to enjoy outdoor activities, including humpback whale watching and day trips to charming towns along the coast or tucked into the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Among the adults-only accommodation options is Grand Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta All-Inclusive Adults-Only, which offers two infinity pools, an attractive spa and 13 bars and restaurants.
Museum
The MUAC is a 14,000 square-foot contemporary art museum on the grounds of Mexico City’s largest public university. The building itself, designed by architect Teodoro Gonzalez de Leon, attracts architecture and design aficionados. The art within—a collection of contemporary Mexican artwork from the 1950s onwards, ranging from paintings and drawings to video and sound installations—draws contemporary art fans the world over. The university grounds (which sit on an eco-reserve) are also a popular place for families to hang during weekends.
Museum
The Tamayo Museum (Museo Tamayo) was founded by Ruffino Tamayo in 1981, when the Mexican artist donated his own works, in addition to a massive collection of international contemporary art, with the goal of showcasing 20th-century art for the public. The building, designed by Mexican architects Teodoro González de León and Abraham Zabludovsky, is made of reinforced concrete and white marble stone. You would assume such heavy materials would feel like an intrusion in the middle of Chapultepec Park, where the museum is located. But the low-slung design and natural tones allow the building to hide in and among the trees. Inside, glass walls and light wood floors make the gallery spaces feel contemporary, open, and spacious.
Museum
The Museum of Modern Art (Museo de Arte Moderno) is a Mexico City institution located in Chapultepec Park. The building itself is circular in shape; at its center is a large dome, which bathes interior gallery spaces in a golden hue. Exhibitions showcase contemporary art by both international and Mexican artists (Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Rufino Tamayo). Works span a range of mediums—painting, sculpture, photography, multimedia, etc.
Museum
The museum, also known as “Casa Azul” for its shocking cobalt blue exterior, is where Frida Kahlo was born, raised, lived, and died. Visitors can take in a few paintings by Kahlo and her husband, Diego Rivera, in addition to other contemporary artists of their era. But perhaps more interesting is the voyeuristic window into their creative world. The home is carefully preserved and maintained; it’s easy to image the spaces as they were during Kahlo’s time. In addition to their personal effects and domestic materials, the collection of clothes and corsets Frida needed to support her body after her traumatic accident give an intimate look at the artist’s daily struggles
Museum
This museum, set in a house built at the turn of the 20th century, is entirely dedicated to chocolate, as Cacao is native to Mexico and was first domesticated in Mesoamerica. The majority of the exhibitions provide historical insight, but some “sensory exhibits” are interactive (i.e. mouth-watering tastes of chocolate). The museum also hosts chocolate-making workshops and other courses. Though MUCHO is one of the city’s lesser-known museums, it is rising in popularity.
Museum
Exhibitions at this quiet, boutique museum—set in a small former home in the bohemian neighborhood of Roma Norte—are spread across three floors. The museum doesn’t have a permanent collection, but rather, exceptionally curated exhibits that rotate every three to four months. Themes range dramatically, covering such topics as “the drinks of Mexico” and “Mexican football,” but always offer an interactive look at a particular subject. By examining everyday items (often related to design and communication) in an abstract way, the museum’s curators hope to spark a larger conversation about society.
Museum
The former home and studio of Pritzker-Prize-winning architect Luis Barragán has been transformed into a museum in Mexico City’s Hidalgo District. Architecture and design lovers frequent the estate to study the artist’s ingenious use of color, light, shadow, form, and texture. From the street, you’d never guess the personality that lies inside: The stark-gray façade humbly blends in with neighboring homes, but walk to the interior of the estate and you’ll find striking walls in a kaleidoscope of bright colors, fountains, and pools.
Museum
The Palace of Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes) is one of the most iconic and grand buildings in the historic center of Mexico City. The architecture alone is worth a visit: the opulent, eye-catching facade has Art Nouveau and Neoclassical influences and the multiple domes are covered in an intricate lattice of iron and Marroti crystal. The interior spaces are overwhelmingly vast: The top floor of the cultural center houses some seriously impressive murals painted by Mexico’s most well-known muralists—Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Roberto Montenegro. Elsewhere, there’s the National Theater, the National Museum of Architecture, and other museum spaces dedicated to popular and fine-art exhibits.
Museum
Museo Jumex houses one of Latin America’s largest private contemporary art collections, which includes works by Andy Warhol, Martin Kippenberger, Cy Twombly, and Damien Hirst. Mediums range from paintings and drawings to light and video installations. The building is as distinctive as the art. British architect David Chipperfield designed the 15,000 square-foot white-concrete cube with a sawtooth top. (Plus the [Soumaya Museum](https://www.cntraveler.com/activities/mexico-city/museo-soumaya) is just across the square, so you can kill two birds with one stone.)
Museum
Art dealers Mónica Manzutto and José Kuri opened Kurimanzutto nearly 20 years ago to showcase both Mexican and international modern artists. The tiny, modern art gallery, on a residential street near Chapultepec Park, showcases celebrates both Mexican and international modern artists. Exhibitions show in one large, warehouse-style room; they change regularly and vary greatly in topic, though most focus on a single artist. The gallery has represented such artists as Gabriel Orozco, Damián Ortega, Gabriel Kuri, Abraham Cruzvillegas, and Dr. Lakra, who are internationally known (Orozoco, for example, just showed at Art Basel Hong Kong) yet whose work is deeply connected to the history and culture of Mexico.
Museum
Late Mexican businesswoman Dolores Olmedo turned her estate into a museum in 1994, eight years before her death. The grounds, which are home to peacocks and so-ugly-they’re-cute Mexican hairless dogs (Xoloitzcuintle), are as impressive as the hacienda-style architecture and Mexican art exhibits. Olmedo’s private collection includes works by Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, plus Mesoamerican sculptures and figurines. Visitors can also gain insight into Olmedo’s fascinating life by visiting her private quarters, filled with family photos and artworks collected during her many travels.
Museum
Think of this space like a museum within a museum: It’s essentially the basement art gallery and exhibition space of Estación Indianilla. (Sounds sketchy but we promise it’s not!) The collection is composed of art-object toys made specifically for international biennal festivals by influential artists who have lived in Mexico, like Fransisco Toledo, Leonora Carrington, and Vicente Rojo. It’s the perfect place for Mexican art enthusiasts who think they’ve seen it all.
Museum
German-born financier Franz Mayer amassed an extensive collection of Mexican silver, ceramics, textiles, and furniture in his adopted country. This private collection is now on permanent display at his namesake museum, in Mexico City’s historic center. The beautiful everyday objects also include maps, globes, rugs, and books from around the world. After a complimentary guided tour, stop for a simple bite at the on-site café, set in a central courtyard that allws you to take in the building’s architectural details—it was once an 18th-century monastery and hospital.
Museum
Located on a tree-lined street in Mexico City’s pretty Coyoacán neighborhood, this museum focuses on the many cultures and peoples of Mexico. The exhibitions are often interactive and reflective of present-day customs, showcasing everything from altars for Day of the Dead celebrations to collections of textiles and folk art. It’s more well-known among locals than international tourists, so you’ll see many Mexicans visiting during big holidays, like Day of the Dead, Christmas, and Easter, when impressive seasonal exhibitions show how these events are celebrated across the country. They are also often accompanied by an outside market and live performances.
Museum
The Museo del Juguete Antiguo México is a quirky museum in Colonia Doctores that arose from architect Roberto Shimizu Kinoshita’s passion for toys. The museum, as the name implies, houses an extensive collection of toys. Thousands upon thousands of toys from the 19th century to the 1980s, with a particular emphasis on those that were popular in Mexico. As you wander more than four floors, you will likely find more than a few objects that make you feel nostalgic for your childhood.
Museum
The former home of Emilio “El Indio” Fernandez offers a unique window into the world of this award-winning Mexican filmmaker. Few international tourists seek out the museum, but a visit offers deeper insights into Fernandez’s life and the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. As you walk around, you’ll see his possessions as he originally used them. And the house itself, made of volcanic stone, is a well-preserved example of Mexican architecture during that era.
Museum
This massive building in Chapultepec Park is among the city’s most famed museums, second only to perhaps the Museo Frida Kahlo. Though the late Mexican architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez designed it in 1964, the mammoth building still looks as avant-garde today as it did then. (How exactly does that giant concrete slab float above a pond?) The museum holds the world’s largest collection of ancient Mexican artifacts. Some of the most iconic Mesoamerican artifacts discovered to date can be found across 23 rooms. If you want to understand Mexico’s history, then a visit here is a must.
Museum
The Folk Art Museum (Museo de Arte Popular), located in a white Art Deco building in the historic center of Mexico City, focuses on the diversity of folk art and handicrafts in Mexico, showcasing pieces that range from pottery to textiles and everything in between. It’s a great place to learn more about the indigenous peoples of Mexico through their creative works. There are usually two or three non-permanent exhibitions running concurrently. They all focus on handicrafts, some delve deeper into a particular craft or material and others focus on how a theme is represented throughout Mexico. The museum is well known for organizing an annual night parade of large carved figures called alebrijes.

Restaurant
Well-seasoned taquerias like El Greco are harder and harder to come by in Condesa, where rising rents have been the death knell for old-school institutions peddling top-notch tacos. Luckily, El Greco lives on. The tacos Doneraky are served Arab-style on a pita instead of a tortilla, and the meat is marinated differently than at other al pastor places, with salt, minced parsley, and onion. The hamburgers aren’t half bad either. Whatever you order though, add a side of beans and a slice of flan for dessert.
Restaurant
Tourists staying in nearby hotels, wealthy Mexican families, and couples on early-in-the-game dates come here for creative agave drinks and classic dishes with a modern and seasonal bent. Chefs Marcos Fulcheri and Carlo Meléndez favor seasonal ingredients and have a knack for transforming rare insects into approachable plates. Standout dishes include carnitas made with tender rabbit, a soup with foraged greens, and wagyu beef and fig tacos from the six-course taco tasting menu.
Restaurant
Pasillo de Humo is located upstairs in the newish Mercado Parian, a multi-puesto food hall in the heart of Condesa. The name refers to the passageway in the markets of Oaxaca where dried beef tasajo is hung and smoke-dried. The focus here is on small snacks like plantain croquettes dunked into red mole, traditional crispy flatbread tlayudas with stringy Oaxacan cheese and grilled beef, and pan de yema to go with the hot chocolate
Restaurant
Nico’s is a serious restaurant without any pretense. Chef Gerardo Vazquez Lugo started the Mexican chapter of the Slow Food movement, so that should give you an idea what to expect. Some dishes, like sopa seca de natas (a sort of crêpe and tomato cream cake) can be traced back to France’s influence on Mexico in the mid-19th century, while others are based on regional recipes unknown in urban Mexico City. Order a mix of both, just be sure to try one of the many variations mole and the warm tortillas whose corn is nixtalimized in-house.
Restaurant
Mog Sumiya serves Japanese yakiniku: meats and vegetables that you cook on individual barbecue grills while sitting on the floor. The menu is short and sweet, with bites like kimchi, pickles, yukke (raw minced beef with chile paste and topped with a raw egg yolk), and a couple of rice dishes. The main event, of course, is the grill; order a platter of three types of beef, or choose among tongue, galbi, sweetbreads, tripe, pork cheeks, and chicken. Use the side of lettuce to wrap your charred morsels. It can be sometimes a challenge to find other flavors (beyond Mexican) in Mexico City, but restaurants like this from the city’s rich immigrant communities are a great place to start.
Restaurant
Los Cocuyos is all about meat—submerged in lard, slow cooked until it falls off the bone and is ready to be folded into tiny tacos. The brisket is some of the best in town; the campechano, a chopped-up mix of beef, longaniza, and a little bit of everything else, is a must-order; and the tripe will convince anyone who was previously on the fence about offal. Each taco is served with two excellent tortillas, brushed with cooking fat and sprinkled with onion and cilantro.
Restaurant
El Turix excels in the cochinita pibil department—pork rubbed with achiote and citrus, buried underground and slowly smoke-roasted. The meat is topped with a pickled red onion and served on panuchos (lightly fried tortillas filled with black beans), tacos, or tortas. Note that the scarlet-colored achiote seed dyes everything an electric orange, so be careful not to stain your clothes while eating. This is the perfect place for a quick lunch in Polanco.
Most Popular
Restaurant
The menu is short and sweet with just three types of meat: al pastor, bistec, and chicharron. Everything can be ordered on corn or flour tortillas and cloaked with cheese. The salsas are piquant, zippy, and incredibly spicy. There are also a few speciality items like quesadilla-esque gringas, and piratas. If the pork skins weren’t enough, order the fried donut dessert with dulce de leche, crumbled nuts, and banana ice cream.
Restaurant
La Polar has been perfecting its birria recipe—a consommé with tender shreds of goat, clove-spiked red salsa, and chopped white onion—for more than 80 years. The best way to eat it, which you’ll notice if you check the locals all around you, is to fold the meat into warm tortillas, DIY-taco style, then chase your bite with a spoonful of broth. A side order of avocado, and of course, ice cold beer from the tap, rounds out the meal, best eaten when the place is at its liveliest from 3 to 6 p.m.
Restaurant
Rokai turns outs delicate nigiri, maki, and sashimi made mostly with fish from Mexican waters. Everything is super fresh and clean, and tourists especially will find the prices a bargain. The omakase, with dedicated courses for soup and tempura alongside a selection of sushi and sashimi, is the way to go. The tiny space isn’t great for groups, so it’s best to come here with one other person, or just by yourself.
Restaurant
Sartoria serves immaculate handmade pastas and dead-simple Italian food. It’s excellent at sourcing and relies on champion products, seen in an austere, but perfect, plate of 18 month old parmigiano-reggiano drizzled with syrupy balsamic vinegar. Chef Marco Carboni sneaks a few Mexican touches onto the menu, like his use of hoja santa in a soufflé and a bright ceviche with cucumber, but the cooking still feels like it could have come out of the kitchen of a Modense grandmother.
Restaurant
There are the Pujol fans and then there are the Quintonil acolytes. Representing a new wave Mexican cooking, the kitchen here serves a long, 10-course tasting menu that showcases indigenous Mexican ingredients: corn, beans, squash, chiles, and mushrooms. There are a few meat dishes, and you can also order à la carte if you don’t want to commit the time and money to the tasting menu. Desserts, like a burnt corn ice cream, shine as well.
Restaurant
There are two locations of this lauded bakery from chef Elena Reygadas, who also operates Café NIN, Lardo, and Rosetta, all of them rooted in Italian-inflected, Mediterranean fare. The European-style bakery cafés are the best of the bunch—perfect for coffee and a sweet roll, or a sandwich and a beer. There’s not a bad pastry on the menu, but the guava and ricotta Danish and sweet concha are must-orders.
Restaurant
Located on a particularly tree-lined section of Amsterdam Avenue in chic Condesa, MeroToro wears the surf-and-turf tag well. Appetizers made with super fresh seafood from Baja California are especially delicious and prepare your palate for what’s to come. The larger plates, like pork torchon with lentils and a poached egg, or braised beef tongue with beans and charred salsa, are elegant and satisfying. If there’s anything with uni, get it.
Restaurant
Máximo Bistrot is a true farm-to-table restaurant, a relatively new thing for Mexico City. The menu changes frequently to reflect the seasons and availability of local produce, and García sources fruits and vegetables grown on the nearby chinampas of Xochimilco and the surrounding estado. The food is simple bistro-style: crisp-skinned trout with clams, peas, and wild spinach, or a velvety chicken liver to spread on toast with sweet cherries. Purees, creamy spreads, and sweet sauces find their way onto most plates.
Restaurant
This is as close as you’ll get to eating breakfast in a traditional Mexican household. There are five guisados, classic stews cooked in ceramic cauldrons over charcoal, available each day. Order a few of those and huevos con frijoles—eggs scrambled with refried black beans in pork fat. Served with hot tortillas and the smoky house salsa, breakfast here might be the best thing you eat in a week in Mexico City.
Restaurant
Masala y Maíz in San Miguel de Chapultepec is a comida corrida joint that reimagines the ubiquitous three-course, prix fixe meals without pretension. The food here is always changing but the format isn’t. The meal might start with esquites, traditional Mexican corn kernels simmered with cream, curry spices, and coconut milk, then follow with a snappy purslane salad, and lamb chorizo in almond sauce. The menu may be small, but it’s a welcome addition to the local dining scene in both form and flavor.
Restaurant
A demure plaque outside a nondescript Roma townhouse marks the entrance to Lorea, a new restaurant that highlights the talents of Mexico City native Oswaldo Oliva, who spent the past decade cooking in Spain. The two-story apartment has been converted into a dark and stylish culinary temple, with an open kitchen, plenty of space between tables, and natural wood touches. The dining room can get a bit cold, so bring a shawl.

Restaurant
The barbacoa is excellent here. Sheep and goat, rubbed with salt, wrapped in maguey leaves, buried underground with coals then left to roast slowly overnight is trucked in from Hidalgo. You order by weight, and half a kilo for two to four people is a good place to start. Wrap the meat in warm tortillas with salsa, white onion, cilantro, and avocado and keep eating until you physically can’t. Appetizers like consommé, toasted panela cheese, and pork-and-cheese-crusted tortillas are all great, and if you’re feeling adventurous, there’s a variety of insect dishes to try.
Restaurant
Save for the shrimp po’boy, it’s hard to see why La Docena refers to itself as a New Orleans-inspired oyster bar. No matter—the seafood is fresh and there’s enough cured ham to please everyone. The raw clams, aguachiles, octopus tostadas, and house-made aioli are especially nice, and the French fries here are some of the best in town. There’s only one dessert on the menu: a molten chocolate cake with banana and ice cream. It’s great on a late Sunday afternoon when you want to sit outside and for bigger groups on their way for a night out.
Restaurant
El Califa is one of a few big-name taquerias that’s bringing the brazen street classic to a button-down, posh format. The menu is expansive, focusing beef tacos (sirloin, flank, and rib-eye) as well as al pastor. Beyond that, there are quesadilla-like gringas—two flour tortillas with meat and cheese, and costras, a crispy dish of cheese-covered meat that’s flipped like a pancake so the cheese will caramelize. There are a few vegetarian options, too, and the beans, grilled onions, and chicharron de queso round of the meal. Don’t overlook the salsa roster, especially the charred vegetable tatemada.
Restaurant
Of the thousands of taquerias in Mexico City, El Vilsito is one of the best for al pastor. The heavily spiced pork is shaved off a vertical spit with machetes and folded into tacos with a sliver of pineapple, chopped onion, and cilantro. If you want cheese, order a gringa, a flour tortilla that sandwiches the al pastor with cheese. Salsa sits in hulking molcajetes on the counter. Start with two al pastor tacos and then repeat as needed.
Restaurant
From Gaetan Rousset and Joaquín Cardoso, Loup Bar is part of a new wave of wine-focused spots that puts just as much emphasis on the food. Rousset is a wine importer who focuses on young and rustic wines (mostly natural or biodynamic) from France and Spain, while Cardoso is a young talent whose time spent working in starred European restaurants is evident in his rich food, like lamb with polenta.

Restaurant
The artsy-upper crust of the La Condesa neighborhood, hangers-on following the scene, businessmen on lengthy lunches, and a smattering of tourists fill out the dining room at Contramar. You’ll fully understand why lunch is the most important—and longest—meal of the day in Mexico City when you come here: By 2 P.M. on Fridays, the brandy and rosé start flowing and a casual meal turns into multiple rounds of food and drink, smoke breaks on the sidewalk, an overall celebration to kick off the weekend.
Restaurant
Eating here is like traveling back in culinary time to 1950s Mexico. The menu focuses on fancy, somewhat staid dishes like hearts of palm salad, beef broth soup (the signature), braised tongue, salt-baked fish, and surf-and-turf ceviche with shrimp and raw beef. The drink options span pours of tequila, brandy, and digestivos; simple mixers of vodka and soda, rum and Coke, domestic beer. It’s been open since 1904, and it’s popular with a conservative crowd of multi-generational families, men on business lunches, and middle-aged couples.
Restaurant
Though technically a bar, Sella is more of an old-world cantina that, like most classic ones in Mexico, feels Spanish. Jamon serrano, braised octopus with pimenton, and chorizo a la Sidra are all well done here, but the dish that everyone orders is the chamorro—an entire pork shank simmered in its own fat until it falls off the bone, served with warm tortillas, cilantro, onion, and salsa.
Restaurant
Asian Bay’s young chef Luis Chiu comes from a family of restaurateurs (his grandparents opened one of the first Chinese restaurants in Centro Historico’s Chinatown) and he’s well-versed in a variety of Chinese cooking. On the menu, you’ll find beef with bitter melon, ma po tofu, Hunanese pork, and a roster of dim sum treats alongside kung pao chicken for the masses and more nuanced regional specialities for the adventurous.
Restaurant
Enrique Olvera—the chef behind New York’s Cosme and Atla—offers two different dining options at his highly acclaimed Pujol: a multi-course tasting menu in the formal dining room and a “taco omakase” meal at the low-slung bar featuring various tacos, antojitos, and botanas. Good news: You’ll likely get to taste Olvera’s famed mole madre dish no matter which you choose. But as this is one of the best renowned restaurants in the country, you may want to book your reservation before you book your flight.

Museum
Frida Kahlo is the inescapable representation of Mexico’s artistic heritage on a global level, whether you like it or not, and although her house is somewhat of a tourist trap, with long queues and pricier entrance fees, it is also one attraction that can’t be skipped over. Housing many of her personal possessions, artworks and relics, the gardens are especially tranquil and the décor of her rooms is particularly intriguing.
Villa
The world’s third most visited religious site, and the top Catholic destination, the emblematic and culturally important Basílica de Guadalupe can’t be dropped from any Mexico City itinerary. Legend states that this is where the Virgen de Guadalupe appeared to Cuauhtlatoatzin in the 16th century, but even if that’s not the case, both the old and new basilicas are still architecturally impressive.
University
Mexico City’s UNAM (Universidad Autónoma de México) is so sprawling that its southern campus is practically a mini city in its own right. In fact, it’s actually known as University City and plays host to not just university buildings, but also an epic, Instagram-friendly sculpture park, the MUAC art gallery and the iconic Biblioteca Central. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, spend a day wandering around this top attraction.
Museum
Named after Carlos Slim’s late wife, Soumaya Domit, the Museo Soumaya (Plaza Carso) is a glittering architectural treat amidst unremarkable business blocks in the center of Polanco. Rising from the ground like a silver geometric dream, it’s filled with plenty of artwork from the European Old Masters and even has some 20th-century Mexican pieces too.
Food Kiosk, Mexican
Not a sight as such, the southern neighbourhood of Coyoacán is worth at least a day of your time to fully explore. Whether you’re a fan of Frida Kahlo, art in general or even just bustling plazas, this quirky, artistic barriois an essential visit. Don’t miss the coffee from Café El Jarocho, or people watching in the central plaza, Plaza Hidalgo.
Catedral
Sitting at the heart of the historic centre, the sinking Catedral Metropolitana is an unmissable Mexico City sight and literally and figuratively, given the towering shadow it leaves over the city’s zocalo. The oldest cathedral in Latin America, the Catedral Metropolitana is made from the stone of a Mesoamerican pyramid and took three centuries to build.
Buildings
From an iconic park to an iconic building, the image of the sparkling orange-roofed, bright white Palacio de Bellas Artes is one you may already know. A staple feature on any Mexico City guide and promotional material, this Art Nouveau/ Art Deco building is best known for its impressive collection of murals, shimmering tiled roof and Tiffany glass curtain.
Ruins
Rather sadly known best for the student massacres of the last century, Tlatelolco’s Plaza de las Tres Culturas is still a worthy entry on our guide to Mexico City’s top attractions, bringing together as it does the three distinct cultural heritages that make up modern Mexico. Pyramids mark the Mesoamerican past, whilst the colonial Templo de Santiago symbolises the Spanish Conquistador’s influence on the culture, and the Torre de Tlatelolco marks present day modernity.
Twice voted the “best city in the world” by Travel + Leisure magazine, San Miguel de Allende continues to garner praise for its irresistible blend of small-town charm and international sophistication. Visitors can enjoy an array of culinary and artistic diversions set along its historic streets, as well as relaxing hot springs at Spa La Gruta and Escondido Place, where the waters supposedly have medicinal qualities.
Senior travelers looking for a quiet, upscale oasis will do well at Live Aqua Urban Resort San Miguel de Allende, the newest hotel in the La Coleccion Resorts portfolio, where a spa, a swimming pool, a cigar bar and an outstanding restaurant are among the draws.
While there is far more to Xochimilco than the colorful, iconic trajineras (canal type boats), which float up and down the many chinampas (canals) of the region on a daily basis, you can’t really afford to miss a half-day visit to this top tourist attraction. Either buy food and pulque from the floating vendors or pack some beers and sandwiches, but be sure not to get scammed on the price.

In Colonia Xoco you can find one of the most outstanding but overlooked attractions in Mexico City – the Cineteca Nacional. Almost sculptural in design, its sleek, white outer shell conceals within numerous relics of the Mexican cinema scene, as well as a handful of screens that regularly host indie films and beautifully curated film cycles. While going to cinema might seem like a mere rainy-day exercise, at the Cineteca it’s anything but.
Is it cheating to add in two whole neighborhoods as one entry? We don’t think so, especially as Roma and Condesa both have so much to offer the passing or even long-term traveler in Mexico City. Right in the heart of the capital, these hipster hangouts are overflowing with quirky bars, restaurants and art galleries, as well as some of the city’s top street artworks. Don’t go with a plan of attack, just explore at your own pace.
Building
Towering over the Palacio de Bellas Artes and offering bird’s eye views of the popular, family-friendly Parque Alameda, as well as the city as a whole, heading to the Torre Latinoamericana for dinner or drinks is never a bad idea. The best time to go is right before sunset, so you can see the capital in all its daytime glory before catching the capital transform into its glittering, night-time best.
Building
Bosque de Chapultepec, a.k.a. the lungs of Mexico City, is another sight you shouldn’t omit from your Mexico City itinerary, as actively exploring this vast forest is highly encouraged. Filled to the brim with top museums, the Castillo de Chapultepec is a particular highlight; once the backdrop for scenes in Romeo + Juliet,it is now a humble Museo Nacional de Historia and former Royal residence.
Building
A rather more underrated and out of the way attraction than those already mentioned, Santa María la Ribera’s elaborate Kiosco Morisco seems somewhat out of place in the heart of Mexico City, given that it’s more or less an oversized, Islamic-inspired bandstand. Impromptu martial arts lessons and mother and baby dance classes take place there on a daily basis. Plus, it’s just around the corner from the Biblioteca Vasconcelos.
Park
Located in the upscale Condesa neighbourhood, Parque México has been an icon of both the zone and the city for decades and is easily one of the loveliest urban green spaces in the capital. As well as being surrounded on all sides by Art Deco buildings, the park is also home to some similarly impressive stand-out pieces, most notably the sleek blue and white Clock Tower.

En estos momentos Dämadi nos cayó como anillo al dedo… jeje.En la familia consideramos que mi Mami se encuentra en Dämadi por muchas razones positivas que se han sumado para saber que es el lugar ideal… todos ellos han sido especiales, por ejemplo recibe la atención del personal de una manera única llena de cariño y cuidados muy cercanos. Quien supervisa que sus medicamentos y alimentos los tome en tiempo y forma es alguien muy cercana para nosotros.
La compañía de los demás abuelos residentes es importante porque tiene con quien conversar, con quien convivir, interactuar y la hace sentirse viva, activa… y con ganas de seguir. Es interesante ver cómo entre los abuelos de Dämadi se apoyan y se aníman.
Queremos destacar que este último mes ha sido de suma importancia por la contingencia y la atención del personal y los protocolos de seguridad que han tenido en Dämadi con mi mami.
Por último agradezco su compromiso y profesionalismo, han sido de vital importancia y por siempre ser tan cariñosos y atentos con mi Mami.
SILVIA
