I had high expectations for Mexico City and even still, it blew me away. We spent a week in this incredible city and got to see so much, here are a few of my thoughts should you find yourself visiting soon.
The Frida Kahlo museum, La Casa Azul, is a deeply intimate experience and left me feeling such a profound connection to this spectacular woman. Be sure to leave plenty of time to wander the colorful streets of Coyoacán after.
Visiting during mid-October was really nice because it wasn’t overly crowded yet but most places were already decorating for Día de los Mu***os 💀
Practically every reel I watched for visiting CDMX showed the same handful of viral restaurants to visit. But hands down the best meal we had was at Abrasamar. Don’t miss the tuna tostada, black ceviche, and wood-fired prawns. If wanting to venture away from Mexican cuisine for a meal try Barrita de sushi. They call themselves the rebel child of the famous Kill Bill sushi restaurant just two doors down, and it was one of the best Japanese dining experiences of my life.
If you’re feeling brave, taking a hot air balloon ride over Teotihuacán was absolutely worth the hassle and such an exhilarating experience! Highly recommend.
The boutique artisan shops in La Condesa and Roma Norte are shockingly expensive. More expensive than the shops we visited in Lisbon, Barcelona, Nice etc. But if you want to splurge on something special, go to Caan Crudo for some of the most beautiful jewelry pieces I’ve ever seen.
Lastly, my cousins we were visiting insisted it’s not a visit to CDMX without attending a Lucha Libre match. And I must say they were right, it was an absolute riot!
Let me know if you have any questions about visiting below! And for those curious yes we do have a new vintage painting drop planned for this Wednesday 😎
