Top 10 Mexico City, Mexico Things to Do
Mexico City abounds in culture, history, and experiences in and around the city. Similar to the surprise of El Salvador I experienced this year, I didn't imagine travel to Mexico City in 2021.
Does anyone else feel like 2021 flew by in every way? I feel like I blinked and the year is ending Earlier in 2021, I ended up visiting Mexico City for an Apple Computer. As I explored the city before going, I knew I wanted to go back.
I ended up returning in November and staying longer than I thought. I stayed at a two story mini-loft via Airbnb in San Pedro Los Pinos. I loved exploring the city at a slower pace.
My Top 10 Mexico City Things to Do includes Frida Kahlo - The Blue House aka Casa Azul, Cafe El Jarocho, Chapultepec Park, Chapultepec Castle, Boat Ride in Chapultepec Park, Alameda Park, Cafe de Tacuba, Zocalo, Metropolitan Cathedral, and La Pithaya Vegana.
Mexico City
Travel to Mexico City is easier than you think. Depending on where you travel from, there are options to travel to Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport. While most people travel to Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico to destinations like Cancun, Tulum, Bacalar, and Valladolid, Mexico City is well worth a visit in Mexico.
Mexico City is not only one of the top 10 richest cities in the world, but boasts the largest urban park in Latin America, as well as over 150 museums to explore.
I share fun facts, travel, and logistics in One Day in Mexico City.

1 Frida Kahlo Blue House Museum
I've been a Frida Kahlo fan for years. I love the movie with Selma Hayek. I wanted to visit the museum for years. When I went to Mexico City for the first time earlier in 2021, I didn't get a chance to visit. It was first on my list for my return visit in November.
Since the Museum's inauguration in July 1958, the Blue House exhibits the ambience that inspired Frida for her creation, as well as her personal belongings. The blue color is known to be chosen to represent Frida's admiration for the indigenous people of Mexico. In visiting the museum, you will find insight into her childhood, illnesses, art, and love. The museum and the garden are incredibly beautiful and well worth the visit.
During my visit in November 2021. I ended up buying tickets two days in advance. I noticed they are usually sold out even in 2021. The price is about $10 USD.
Whether you spend One Day in Mexico City or longer, exploring history and inspirational lives like Frida's is a must.
2 Cafe El Jarocho
Within 10-15 minutes walking distance from Frida Museum is Cafe El Jarocho, a Mexico City staple. Created in 1953, it is a great stop for coffee! It is located in Coyoacan neighborhood like the museum.
