day 2 in mexico city 🇲🇽

If you're planning a visit to Mexico City, spending a day in Coyoacán is an absolute must. This vibrant neighborhood is rich in culture and art, making it a perfect escape from the bustling city center. From my experience, starting your day with breakfast at Odette offers a delightful local culinary introduction — their raspberry roll is a standout treat you shouldn’t miss. Getting around is convenient; a short 30-minute Uber ride from Condesa lands you right in the heart of Coyoacán. Once there, the Mercado No. 89 is ideal for shopping local crafts, including beautiful jewelry and artisanal souvenirs. The market's lively atmosphere and colorful stalls give a genuine taste of Mexican heritage. For lunch, shrimp tacos are a personal favorite and highly recommendable; I gave them a 5-star rating for freshness and flavor. Walking through the charming streets filled with art galleries and murals enriches the visit, allowing you to soak in the bohemian vibe of the area. As for the Frida Kahlo Museum, be sure to secure your tickets well in advance—at least a month ahead. This museum is incredibly popular and often fully booked. Although we couldn't enter on this occasion due to ticket timing, it's definitely worth the effort to plan ahead. Remember that the museum is located on Calle Londres, a street that captures much of the neighborhood's artistic spirit. Finally, don't miss snapping a photo with the colorful local scenes and street life, which capture the true essence of Mexico City’s cultural heart. Whether you’re a lover of history, art, or food, Coyoacán’s blend of vibrant life and cultural depth makes it an unforgettable stop on your Mexico City adventure.
