The lifelong home of Frida Kahlo is now a museum dedicated to the work of this famous 20th-century artist.

I highly recommend visiting the Frida Kahlo museum, and if you’re English it’s worth paying the extra pesos to have an audio guide. The house is beautiful with so many original artifacts and paintings, and it’s a great way to get a feel for the colourful character that Frida Kahlo was. It’s a very popular attraction so to avoid VERY long queues, it’s best to book ahead.

Coyoacan, a former village and now one of the 16 boroughs of Mexico City, is a historic center. It is a popular place to visit, especially on weekends, because many of the original layouts, plazas and narrow streets have been preserved and date from the 16th to the early 20th centuries.

We stayed in this neighborhood in an AirBnB and loved this charming and historic part of Mexico City. Especially wonderful is the main square in which you can see all types of people of all ages enjoying the outdoors, kissing on benches and enjoying the fountains and performers. We delighted in how vibrant and alive everything was in the evenings - so many families and kids strolling even after 10-11pm. Loved it!

A 16th-century church known for its well-preserved artwork.
Reviewed By vagabondginger - San Diego, United States
In 1934 this church was declared a National Monument. The interior far outshines the exterior and is one of the most beautiful and oldest Catholic Churches in Mexico. The ornate altar, gorgeous archways and ceiling frescos are magnificent to see. I rarely will pass up going into a church as they all have so much to offer in beauty. This one was built on top of Aztec ruins and there was a huge Aztec celebration going on outside with feathered dancers and music and blessings.

This bucolic park is surrounded by a number of colonial buildings.
Reviewed By womanseyeview - Barrie, Canada
A delightful park with its iconic coyote fountain, surrounding markets and treed, oasis feel. There are lots of restaurants nearby but also a great street food section across the square. There are also two artisan's markets and additional ones on the weekend. There are many historic buildings, ancient cathedral and traditional streets in the surrounding neighbourhood. Its a very relaxing place to spend time, eat ice cream and watch families stroll by.

We wanted to go to the football match here but there was so many other things we wanted to do and see. Had to stop here and get a picture though. Our Uber driver was very accommodating and stopped for us to take a picture. We are huge NFL fans. It would be so much fun to go to an NFL game here. Maybe next time
