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.

This guide is a collection of all the places we visited during our trip to Mexico City along with several other restaurants and unique spots saved for our next visit to CDMX. We hope this guide helps you discover noteworthy culinary gems, beautiful historic landmarks, and must-see stops for your own trip to Mexico City.

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.
