Things To Do
Frida Kahlo Museum
Frida Kahlo's childhood home, and the home that she later shared with husband Diego Rivera. You can pair this with a visit to the Coyoacan neighborhood (just a quick walk from the museum). Advance tickets necessary.
Parque México
Lovely park in the heart of Condesa, surrounded by two ring roads full of great shops and food. Worth an early morning walk.
Plaza de la Constitución
The main square in CDMX and a great spot to take in. Visit the Cathedral, and be sure to go in the Zocalo where you can see many of Diego Rivera's most prominent paintings and frescoes for free.
Bosque de Chapultepec
Containing nine museums, a zoo and Chapultepec Castle, you could spend your entire day walking around this beautiful park.
Teotihuacán
Incredible pre-Aztec pyramids! Stop for breakfast or lunch in the local town, and then finish off by touring the pyramid grounds by foot.
San Juan Crafts and Curiosities Market
San Juan Market (food) and Mercado de Artesanías (gifts/textiles/trinkets) are basically side by side. These two markets are great for local produce, spices, and houseware.
