Mexico City (CDMX) is an incredible place with a rich history and culture. You could easily spend a year or more here and still be discovering new things!

CDMX is enormous and each neighbourhood offers a completely different vibe with it's own unique attractions. Therefore, this guide is organized by the most iconic neighbourhoods so you can choose to stay close to what suits you and your interests best. 

The guide includes recommendations for places to eat, attractions and activities, and places to stay for the following neighbourhoods: Roma Norte, Condesa, Centro Histórico, and Polanco, as well as some honourable mentions for other places to check out outside of those areas. 

This is a living guide that I'm always updating as I discover more places in Mexico City!

The Ultimate Mexico City Guide 🇲🇽

My husband and I recently went on a seven-night trip to Mexico, combining the historic San Miguel de Allende (SMDA) with the vibrant Mexico City (CDMX). CDMX was on my list for a long time and I was thrilled to finally make it there.

Our journey began in San Miguel de Allende, where we spent two nights. Then, we traveled by private car to Mexico City, where we stayed for five nights.

In this guide, I’m sharing the highlights of our trip in CDMX, offering insights and tips for those who may not travel often but are eager to explore new destinations. 

I hope my experiences inspire you to consider your journey.

Exploring Mexico City Through Streets, Shrines, Art, and Food

Mexico City floods the senses the moment you hit the capital. Chilangos—as locals are known, all 8.8 million of them—move through the metropolis at a quicker tempo than their counterparts elsewhere in the country, and a quick weekend jaunt will see you keeping pace. 

These are some of the major landmarks and must-visit places. If you have the time you must visit at least three of them.

Museo Jumex

The Museo Jumex is a contemporary art museum located in the Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City. It is just next door to the Soumaya. The museum is housed in a stunning building designed by British architect David Chipperfield and features a diverse collection of modern and contemporary art.

Entry is free.

Be prepared to walk up several flights of stairs. They do not allow you to use the elevators. Also, be prepared for the security guards to scrutinize you and look at you like you are on the verge of committing a crime.

There is a cafe on the first floor. It's a bit overpriced and the service is pretty bad, but the food is good.

An amazing (and cheap) museum that offers modern art from around the world. Check out the website to see when entry is free and what exhibits are on offer. 

I didn't visit the museum but was there to see The Virgin Mother statue located outside the museum.

Great museum to check out! Lots of good exhibitions, bookstore, and cafe.
