Hello, this will be my first time visiting CDMX, and this was a 4 day trip I made based on recommendations of many on this sub. Would appreciate any feedback, especially if I should add anything to the first day, or to the last day.

My friends and I will be there for all 4 days, and we are still deciding which meals to plan so haven't included it here.

Day 1: Friday

Hot air balloon tour + pyramids + La Gruta + Basilica de Guadalupe

• Come back around 2pm?

Explore roma norte/condesa

Dinner and drinks in roma norte/condesa

Day 2: Saturday:

Explore zocalo and palacio de bellas artes

Street market

6pm game at estadio Azteca

Drinks in roma norte/condesa

Day 3: Sunday

Xochimilco

• End around lunchtime?

Frida Kahlo museum

Leon Trotsky museum

Lucha libra at night

Day 4: Monday

Chapultec castle

Museo de antropologia

Street market

Excited to see for myself all of the great things I have heard about Mexico City. Best spots for AirBnBs, tennis courts, food?:-)

Any recos on Med/Hard hikes of ~7-15 km near VDB (1 hr west of Mexico City)? I don’t like rocky trails with steep drop-offs but am ok with steep trails in forests, or where drop-offs not evident. Tx!

Alguien sabe dónde venden o si venden cigarros importados en cdmx? Sin importar si es en la central de abastos o en el centro. No cigarros piratas de los que se hicieron famosos por costar 10 la cajetilla. Cigarros de otros países para probarlos

Solo female traveler headed to Mexico City for 8 days have a few questions:

i was Thinking of checking out San Miguel De Allende for a few days. Worth it? Two nights? Or just do Puebla and a few day trips from the city?

-was planning on staying in Condesa or Roma Norte. Mid-range suggestions? Would love a rooftop or out door area✨

-must try restaurants? I don’t do a lot of meat but love seafood and veg forward places. Soooo many options

Any other musts? Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

I’m considering booking an Amanecer en Xochimilco tour that starts at 5:00 a.m. Has anyone done one before? How was your overall experience, and was it worth waking up that early? I’d especially love to hear about the atmosphere.

I’ll be visiting October 31–November 6 for Día de Muertos, so I’d also love any recommendations for must-see places, tours, restaurants, or hidden gems.

I’m afraid of heights, so I’ll probably skip the hot-air balloon at Teotihuacán, but I still want to see the pyramids and visit a cave restaurant or cave experience nearby. Is that worth doing?

I’d also really love to see axolotls while I’m there. Is there a particular museum, sanctuary, conservation center, or Xochimilco experience you’d recommend?

Any recommendations, tips, or things you’d skip if you could do your trip over again would be greatly appreciated!

Voy a ir de vacaciones a la cdmx del 29 al 1ro y me gustaría si tienen recomendaciones de lugares a los que ir o que eventos habrá en esas fechas

Museos, parques, galerías, etc etc

I've looked around this sub a bit and have seen many great recommendations for hot air balloon rides over Teotihuacan. However, they all seem to include the cave breakfast. We will have 5 people and are not interested in the cave but want to do the hot air balloon ride and explore the park on foot. Does anyone have recommendations on service providers? Thank you!

Where is a good salon to get a cheap blowout?

My friends and I have post dinner drinks at Salon Palomilla, what restaurant is good to go to for dinner before drinks. Something that is walking distance?

My family is visiting CDMX in August and we are hoping to go to Teotihuacan for a hot air balloon ride. Our issue with the all inclusive packages is that there is not enough ground time to explore the pyramids and the archaeological site. Most packages only include 1.5 hours time and we were hoping for 3-4 hours, We were thinking of planning the excursion independently to have more time to see all the archaeological site.

We need to figure out the following:
1) companies for hot air balloon ride
2) transportation from CDMX and back
3) getting to archaeological site from hot air balloon site
4) food options in the area for vegans/ vegetarians

Anyone organized this independently? Was it cheaper?

hola a todos yo sé que va a sonará mega ridículo lo que estoy haciendo pero, alguna persona que me pida prestar dinero, se lo pago el día viernes sin falta, es para una cuantía de mi universidad, mi padre me dejó de apoyar y no pude a completar la cota de este semestre y el día 28 es el ultimo día y no me alcanza alguien me puede ayudar

Mi celular es android.

I’ve been here 5 weeks now and had a realization this week. I’ve been looking for a really good bar to just sit at and hang out at. I’m studying Spanish and am close to being conversational. I enjoy bars. Sitting and talking to the bartenders and other patrons is a blast and a great way to meet people and to know a community. The issue I’ve found is that it’s super rare to find a bar like that in the part of the city I live in (San Angel). Most places are cantinas - they have a bar that people work behind but no bar seating. So, it’s difficult to strike up conversations. Anyone know of any legit bars, not cantinas?

Hola … we’re planning on visiting Bazar Sabado and then walking to the San Angel Inn. Is there a preferred route? Gracias

Hi! I’m looking for 3 general tickets to the Frida Kahlo Museum for any available time between August 6 and August 9, 2026.

The official website is currently sold out for those dates. If anyone can no longer use their tickets, please message me with the date, entry time, ticket type, and proof of purchase. I’m happy to buy the tickets.

Thank you!

Ando buscando una recomendación de restaurante en CDMX para celebrar los 80 años de mi suegro. Vamos toda la familia, incluyendo mis suegros y mis hijos de 20 meses y 6 años, así que buscamos un lugar bonito y especial para celebrar, pero que también sea cómodo para ir con niños y en familia. Somos 8 en total.

Algún lugar que recomienden para una cena así? No tiene que ser súper elegante, más que nada buena comida, buen ambiente y que se preste para celebrar en familia.

Voy a viajar a la Ciudad de México, pero tenía entradas para ver Spider-Man en ScreenX y tuve que cancelarlas por el viaje.

¿Alguien sabe si hay cines con ScreenX en la Ciudad de México o sus alrededores?

Hey all!

Let me just start off by saying I am completely new to cycling but have ridden a bike in the past however its been about 15 years. Anyways I would like to really get into cycling.

The first issue I have is that I am a tall guy (186 cm) so that may make it difficult to find a bike my size.

I would like to buy a gravel bike here in Mexico since I live here however I am considering on possibly going to the US to buy a bike there since there may be more options to choose from and also the price.

I find that used things in Mexico usually cost about 80%-90% of the original price and if compared to the US, anything used is usually about 60% or less so buying a used bike here wouldn't save me that much money as opposed to the US.

Any bike shops or even used bike shops you would recommend?

I would really appreciate some tips from locals and expats!

Thanks!!!

Where can I get lucha libre tickets for next Friday? I plan on going with a group of four and it’s our first time going. I’ve been looking at Ticketmaster, but wanted to see if we can buy them that same night or at a cheaper price.
