If you think heading south of the border only means beaches and deserts, think again! Mexico is thriving when it comes to city life and more than ever this is the time to take a trip to their capital.
Mexico City or as locals call it, the ‘DF’ (short for Distrito Federal) is filled with world-class cuisine, incredible art, unforgettable architecture and awe-inspiring locales. Looking for a unique place to stay? Grupo Habita has an array or hotels around the city like with chic finishes and ultra-comfortable amenities.
As for good eats, stop at the San Angel Inn, which offers delicious and authentic Mexican meals with a beautiful garden setting and classic decor. As for coffee , Cielito Querido Cafe is a local shop with lots of different locales. It offers delicious Mexican-inspired menu filled with locally sourced ingredients and flavors.
Remember to check out Diego Rivera murals at the Palace of Fine Arts (Palacio de Bellas Artes) and do venture out to Coyoacan to visit his home along wife Frida Kahlo, as it’s filled with incredible charm colors and her newly opened to the public garment collection.
When trying to navigate such a large and diverse metropolis, my advice is to make a plan and grab a good guide, like the one the New York Times offers. It has all the addresses and information needed for a quick an easy getaway.
