Mexico City

 

Mexico City is where the cosmopolitan vibe of New York City meets a lush tropical jungle, meets some of the graceful architecture of European cities, all with an energy that is uniquely Mexico City. I was there in August 2017 with a group of 6 friends and again in August 2019 with my friend Sam. My trip in 2017 was 5 days and 2019’s trip was around 4 days, and despite my combined 9 days in Mexico City I still feel like I barely scratched the surface on what this city has to offer.

La Casa Azul

Book tickets in advance. We enjoyed wandering around here then going to the Coyoacán market a couple blocks away. The museum is informative and the setting is nice.

Wandering Coyoacán

We loved wandering around Coyoacán after checking out Frida’s museum. Calle Francisco Sosa was especially nice, lined with old colonial buildings. We mostly gor around the city using uber. Include a photo from San Angel Market————
