Mexico City is a unique place. Not only is it huge, being the largest city in North America, but it’s also packed full of history, amazing restaurants and tons of fun things to do. While you could easily live in Mexico City for months and never run out of things to do, for a first trip, I recommend 4-5 days. This is enough time to get a feel for the city and experience many of the wonderful attractions, restaurants and historical sites that it has to offer. Let’s get right into your 4 day Mexico City itinerary and travel guide.
Note: these days are packed pretty full of activities! 4 days is a good amount of time for a first trip to CDMX, but because there’s so much to do and see, this itinerary is pretty busy. The good news is, it’s totally customizable, so it’s easy to take things out if you want more low-key days, or if you decide you want to spend more time at any of the stops!
Where to Stay in Mexico City
There are many great neighborhoods to stay in when visiting Mexico City. My favorite is definitely Roma Norte, followed closely by Coyoacan, Polanco and Condesa. The Historic Center, Centro Historico, while fun to visit, isn’t necessarily where I’d recommend basing yourself. This is just my personal preference, but I found the other neighborhoods to be nicer and quieter with just as much to do and even better restaurants and cafes.

Itinerary for 4 Days in Mexico City
Day 1
Note: This day involves quite a bit of walking. Instead of walking between stops, Ubers and DiDis (ride share app) are available and inexpensive. Just be aware that with traffic you may spend the same amount of time in a car that you would walking between destinations.
On your first day in Mexico City I recommend exploring the Centro Historico and Zocalo. Hop in an Uber or DiDi and get ready for a fun morning.
Enjoy Breakfast at a Delicious Cafe
Start your day at Cafe Regina for a delicious coffee and breakfast. This cafe is located on a pedestrian only street and is a wonderful place to grab a quick meal. From Cafe Regina, you’re close to many of the major attractions in the Centro Historico.
Note: Farmacia Internacional is another amazing place to grab coffee or breakfast, and it’s very close to the next stop on the day’s itinerary – just 6 minutes walking to Mercado de la Ciudadela.
Wander Through Mercado de la Ciudadela
From Cafe Regina, walk 15 minutes to Mercado de la Ciudadela. On the way, Mercado San Juan is also worth a quick walk through.
This is my favorite market in Mexico City! In Mercado de la Ciudadela, you’ll find tons of artisan items, handicrafts, jewelry and other souvenirs. I found this market to be much less crowded than other markets in the area, and most of the vendors were so kind.
Mercado de la Ciudadela is also a great place for photography. It’s colorful, bright and a fun place to snap some photos. I recommend going early, right when it opens at 10am.
Visit the Palacio de Bellas Artes
From Mercado de la Ciudadela take a 15 minute walk to the beautiful Palacio de Bellas Artes. This cultural center is absolutely stunning and, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful buildings in Mexico City.
Take in the Views from the the 8th Floor of Sears
If you want even more beautiful views of the Palacio de Bellas Artes, head across the street to Sears Department Store. Head to the 8th floor and you’ll find the Finca Don Porfirio coffee shop with absolutely breathtaking views of the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
Finca Don Porfirio opens at 11am, and I recommend being there as close to opening as possible to avoid a long wait. The coffee at Finca Don Porfirio is pretty good and it is 100% worth it for the views.
OPTIONAL: Pasteleria Ideal and Mirador Torre Latino
If you’re still hungry, or have room for a little snack, walk over to Pasteleria Ideal – just 5 minutes from Sears. This famous pastry shop is known for their incredible variety of inexpensive pastries. It’s fun to walk through and pick up a few sweet treats.
After securing your treats, head over to the Mirador Torre Latino, but only if it’s a clear day. If it’s cloudy, you won’t have good views. There is often a line for Mirador Torre Latino, so I’ve added this as an optional stop. It’s 160 Pesos per person to enter, so it’s definitely affordable. If you enjoy viewpoints, and it’s a nice day, then this is probably worth the stop.
Check out the House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos)
From Sears or Mirador Torre Latino, take the one minute walk to the beautiful 18th century House of Tiles. This beautiful building reminds me so much of Portugal, and it’s a great place to snap some photos. The interior of the building is equally beautiful, and is home to a Sanborns restaurant. While the food at Sanborns, a chain restaurant, isn’t necessarily fantastic, the ambiance is lovely and it’s a beautiful place to have a drink and appetizer.
Shop along Francisco I. Madero Avenue
After visiting the House of Tiles, you’re just one street away from Francisco I. Madero Avenue, a pedestrian-only shopping street that will take you right to the Zócalo, Mexico City’s main square. The Zócalo has roots and visible ruins that date back to the Aztecs!
Check out the Beautiful Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral
This Cathedral is one of the focal points of the Zocalo. The cathedral is truly beautiful inside and out and it’s definitely worth a visit. It’s free to enter, but you can leave donations or purchase candles to light.
Explore the Templo Mayor Museum
This museum is fascinating. Located just behind the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral, the Templo Mayor Museum showcases archeological finds and ruins from the Aztec civilization. The museum is just 90 pesos to enter and free entry is available for children, students and teachers. If you don’t have time to visit the entire museum, there is a terrace area that is free to visit. From the terrace, you can view some of the ruins, and they are so interesting to see.
Grab a Drink at a Rooftop Bar
After exploring the Historic Center of Mexico City, start your evening with a drink on a rooftop bar overlooking the Zocalo.
A great option is on the roof of Librería Porrúa, a bookstore in the Centro Historico. On the roof of the bookstore you’ll find a casual rooftop bar with beautiful views, as well as the El Mayor restaurant. The bar is a great place to enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.
In addition to the bar on the rooftop of Librería Porrúa, Terazza Catederal (located on the 6th floor of Hostel Mundo Joven) is another great rooftop bar to check out with views of the Zocalo.
Have Dinner at Cafe de Tacuba
Cafe de Tacuba is one of the oldest restaurants in Mexico City, opening its doors in 1912. Just a quick walk from the Zocalo, it’s right in the hustle and bustle of the Centro Historico. The restaurant is a former convent, and to honor the building’s history, the waitresses are dressed as nuns. The decor in Cafe de Tacuba is truly beautiful, with its colonial architecture, art and stained glass windows. To make it even better, in the evenings a mariachi band plays. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to have dinner.
They have a wide selection of traditional Mexican dishes on their menu, including numerous vegetarian options.
End Your Day with Churros at Churreria el Moro
A trip to Mexico City certainly isn’t complete without visiting Churreria el Moro – a favorite since 1935. The original Churreria el Moro is still open today, just a 10 minute walk from Cafe de Tacuba, in the Historic Center.
There will likely be a line for these delicious churros, but it’s definitely worth the wait. I recommend eating in, instead of doing take out, so you can admire the beautiful interior. The blue and white tiles and design are a beautiful piece of history. Be sure to also get some hot chocolate to dip the delicious churros in – it’s the best combination.
Day 2
Start your Day at a Cafe in Roma Norte
There are tons of great coffee shops in the Roma Norte area. Pick any of them to start off your day and enjoy a coffee and some breakfast. There are so many great cafes to choose from, but a few of my favorites include:
- Cafe Nin
- An adorable, old world style cafe. This is a great place to have a relaxing breakfast before a full day of exploring. Cafe Nin opens at 7am.
- Cafebrería El Péndulo
- A bookstore with an indoor/outdoor cafe and multiple locations. They don’t open until 10am, but it’s a great place to have brunch.
- Madre Cafe
- A beautiful, elegant cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is relaxing and they have a wonderful menu. They serve a variety of beautiful coffee drinks.
- Panadería Rosetta
- This bakery has become TikTok famous, so there will likely be a line for their delicious pastries. If you don’t want to wait for a table, there’s also a take out line. Whether you eat in or takeaway, be sure to try their guava roll pastry!
- Qūentin Café
- With three locations in the Roma area, Qūentin Café serves delicious coffee and pastries. This is a great stop for a quick coffee and breakfast before a day of exploring.
Note: if you prefer to go on a guided bus tour that includes most of the day’s activities as well as transportation, check out the below options. Just keep in mind that they are large bus tours that offer limited flexibility.
- Xochimilco, Coyoacán and Frida Kahlo Museum Tour
- Xochimilco & Coyoacán Private Tour
- Xochimilco, Coyoacán and Frida Kahlo Museum Private Tour
Take a Ride on a Trajinera in Xochimilco
Taking a trajinera boat ride in the Xochimilco neighborhood is one of the most iconic things to do in Mexico City. These colorful, rowed boats (gondola style), are taken through a system of canals. While on the trajineras, you can purchase food, drinks and souviners from other floating boats (how cool right??) You can even hire a mariachi band to perform and they’ll come (literally jump) onto your boat to play a few songs.
Important things to know about the Trajineras:
The trajineras are open from 9am-6pm daily. I recommend going in the morning, on a weekday if possible, as the trajineras get very, very busy and you can get stuck in boat traffic.
Trajineras are BYOB (you can also bring snacks), which is a great way to save money. If you don’t want to pack snacks, no problem, you can purchase tons of items from vendors in boats along the canals.
Each trajinera can fit up to 20 people, so grab some friends and split the cost!
You can rent a trajinera for as long as you’d like, but a great amount of time is 1.5 hours (this is also, often, the minimum). In 1.5 hours you can have a lot of fun, but still save time for other sightseeing and other activities during the rest of the day.
From downtown Mexico City (Roma Norte, Centro Historico, etc), an Uber ride will be anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour and 45 minutes each way. Ubers will likely cost anywhere from $10-$14 each way.
How to get to Xochimilco
While you can Uber to Xochimilco and find a trajinera on your own, this can be stressful. To start, there is very limited cell service in Xochimilco, therefore calling an Uber can be difficult. Second, unless you speak Spanish, or are great at bargaining, you will likely pay way more than the standard $600 peso per hour rate.
While it is more expensive, I recommend a guided tour – especially if you’re in a smaller group. This will make the experience less stressful and easier to navigate. The downsides to tours, however, is that they are less flexible with timing and more expensive. Additionally, many tour providers combine the trajineras in Xochimilco with other activities, like visiting Coyoacan. This can be good for some travelers, but others prefer to explore Coyoacan on their own. In the end, it is all up to your personal preference as a traveler and how you prefer to spend the day.
Xochimilco Tours:
- Xochimilco All Inclusive
- Includes transportation and pick-up in Mexico City!
- Uncover the Heart and Soul of México in Xochimilco
- Includes transportation to Xochimilco, but not back to CDMX.
- Xochimilco and Mexican Fiesta
Head to the Coyoacán Neighborhood
Coyoacan is about 55-60 minutes from Xochimilco. You’ll spend the rest of the day exploring this area.
Visit the Frida Kahlo Museum
Make sure you book timed tickets in advance for the Frida Kahlo Museum, spots fill up quickly. This is one of the most popular museums in Mexico City. La Casa Azul (The Blue House, aka the Frida Kahlo Museum) is located just a few minute’s walk from the center of Coyoacan.
La Casa Azul was Frida Kahlo’s home, where she was born, grew up, lived with her husband Diego Rivera, and later, died. Now, the house is a museum dedicated to her art and incredible life.
Wander Through Mercado Coyoacán (Coyoacán Market)
Not far from La Casa Azul, Mercado Coyocan is a local market that features souvenirs, artisan items, fresh produce and local food. It’s a fun market to walk through and do some shopping, grab a quick snack, or just enjoy the atmosphere.
Visit the Artisan Market in Jardin Allende Park
Directly across the street from Mercado Coyoacan, you’ll find Jardin Allende park. On the weekends, this park turns into an art market, where local artists sell their work. This was one of my favorite stops in Coyoacan. You’ll find beautiful art and it’s a great experience to be able to talk with the artists about their work.
Relax in Jardin Centenario
After a full day of activities, a short rest in Jardin Centenario, Coyoacan’s main square, is needed. Admire the beautiful Parroquia San Juan Bautista (Catholic Church), the Coyote Fountain, the colorful COYOACAN letters, and the beautiful Alcaldía Coyoacán (town hall).
This town center is so beautiful and there is always a ton going on. Surrounding the town square there are also a great variety of shops, restaurants and cafes to pop into.
Have Dinner in Coyoacán or Juarez
If you’d like to stay in Coyoacan for dinner, there are some great restaurants to check out.
La Coyoacana is a fun pick with mariachi music and an outdoor courtyard. TIP: if you choose La Coyoacana make sure you get a seat in the courtyard, the ambiance is much more fun and lively, and the decor is more beautiful. On the menu you’ll find a variety of traditional Mexican dishes with a few vegetarian options.
One thing to note about La Coyoacana, although the overall experience was good, the service is pretty poor. Don’t let that stop you from dining there, just don’t expect excellent (or even very good) service. They don’t take reservations, so there may be a wait for a table.
Other restaurants to check out in Coyoacan:
Elly’s Restaurant in Juarez
If you’re willing to take an Uber to Juarez, 30-40 minutes from Coyoacan, Elly’s restaurant is one of my favorites in Mexico City. Although a little far from Coyoacan, if you’re staying in or near the Roma Norte neighborhood, this restaurant isn’t too far away (10-15 minutes by Uber.)
Elly’s restaurant feels like somewhere you’d find in NYC (in a good way). Interestingly, they describe themselves as “Elly’s es dónde la Ciudad de México y Nueva York se encuentran” – Elly’s is where Mexico City and New York City meet.
Their menu is unique and delicious (including a fun variety of cocktails!) and the Mediterranean inspired dishes were some of the best food I had in Mexico City. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, very chic and modern, and, overall, it’s a fantastic place to have a meal. If you can, I recommend making reservations in advance.
Day 3
Take a Half-Day Trip to Teotihuacan
Located about an hour (30 miles) outside of Mexico City, Teotihuacan is an impressive pre-Hispanic archeology site dating back thousands of years. Interestingly, it is still unknown who the original inhabitants of this impressive city were. It is known, however, that Teotihuacan was one of the largest and most important cities in the Americas during its peak.
Teotihuacan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the pyramids, ruins and plazas are incredibly impressive. Among the most notable sites, you’ll find the Pyramid of the Sun, connected to the Pyramid of the Moon via the impressive Avenue of the Dead.
To visit Teotihuacan you have a couple options:
The first is to go on your own in an Uber (or on the bus if you’re close to the bus station.) An Uber/DiDi to Teotihuacan should cost around $20-35 USD each way.
Once you’ve arrived, there will be tons of tour guides who approach you offering their services. Some will offer to show you just around Teotihuacan, and others will offer services to other ruins and local tequila tasting spots. If you don’t want a guided tour, simply walk to the entrance and pay 80 pesos to enter. From there, you can walk around and read the signs to learn about the interesting history of the city.
If you choose to hire a tour guide on site, expect to pay around $50 USD for a 1-2 hour long tour. You will likely need to negotiate these prices, but with a tour guide you really do learn more about the ancient city and its history.
One important thing to note is that the cell service at Teotihuacan isn’t great, so it can be a little difficult to call/meet up with your Uber for the ride back.
Option 2: Go on a Guided Tour with Transportation
This option is more expensive, and offers less flexibility, but it is less stressful. There are a plethora of tours to choose from that include different stops and activities.
Teotihuacan Tour Options:
- Teotihuacan: Private Tour From Mexico City
- Teotihuacan Express Private Tour from Mexico City
- Teotihuacan, Tlatelolco, Guadalupe Shrine and Tequila Tasting Tour
- Hot Air Balloon Flight over Teotihuacan
- I wasn’t able to do this on my last trip, but it is item #1 on my list next time I’m in CDMX.
- This option doesn’t include a guided tour of Teotihuacan, but is instead a view of the archeological site from the hot air balloon.
Eat Lunch at La Gruta
If you decide to visit Teotihuacan on your own, or if you have free time on your guided tour, head over to La Gruta (The Cave) for lunch. This unique restaurant is located in a cave just a few minute’s walk from Teootihuacan entrance 5, behind the Pyramid of the Sun.
To enter La Gruta you’ll walk downstairs into a semi-exposed, decorated cave – and it is truly a unique place to dine on pre-Hispanic influenced food. It’s a touristy destination, but one that makes for a very unique experience.
Note: La Gruta gets very busy, so make reservations ahead of time.
Enjoy an Early Dinner
Depending on what time you get back from Teotihuacan, it will likely be time to start getting ready for dinner and Lucha Libre!
Azul Historico
Located in the Historic Center of CDMX, Azul Historico is one of the most famous and popular restaurants in the city. Located in the Downtown Hotel, this 17th-Century open air courtyard is a stunning place to dine. They have a large menu with a good selection of vegetarian options.
Azul Historico books up quickly, so advanced reservations are recommended.
Plantasia
Plantasia, located in Roma Norte, is plant-based, but don’t let that deter you, it’s so good! The menu focuses on Asian inspired dishes and everything I tried was so delicious.
The restaurant itself is beautifully designed in a minimalist, modern style with some sunken tables and tons of greenery. This was one of my favorite meals in Mexico City.
Watch a Lucha Libre Fight
Watching a Lucha Libre fight while in Mexico City is such a fun experience! Even if you’re not a fan of professional/performative wrestling, the matches are fun to watch and such a unique experience.
Lucha Libre fighters (luchadores) wear colorful masks and their wrestling routines are planned and choreographed in advance. As such, there’s almost always a predetermined winner. There are both male and female fighters who perform in matches throughout the evening.
Lucha Libre fights often tell a story that the announcer shares with the crowd throughout the fights. If you don’t speak Spanish, you won’t fully understand the stories, but you’ll definitely get the gist from watching. Even if you don’t understand the commentators, the fights are still fun to watch.
In the stadium you can buy drinks, beer and snacks to enjoy while watching the fights.
Lucha Libre isn’t boxing (I was worried about this beforehand), so no one is actually getting hurt. It’s all staged to be a fun performance.
The matches take place Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays at Arena Mexico at 7:30pm, and tickets start as low as $7 USD. Good(ish) seats will cost anywhere from $10-$15 USD and the best seats will go for $25 or more.
The fights usually last about 2-3 hours, but I ended up leaving after about 1.5. I’m very happy I went, and had a lot of fun, but that was long enough for me!
You can book tickets on Ticketmaster, but make sure you’re getting them for Arena Mexico.
NOTE: Lucha Libre fights, at Arena Mexico, are located not far from Roma Norte or el Centro Historico. However, it’s important to note that the fight is held in the Doctores neighborhood, which is regarded as one of CDMX’s most unsafe areas.
Ubering to/from the match is absolutely safe, especially because it’s such a big tourist attraction, but I wouldn’t recommend walking there – especially if it’s a long distance.
If you prefer to go with a tour group, there are many options available:
Day 4
Check Out a Cute Breakfast Spot
- Cafe Nin

- Qūentin Café
- With three locations in the Roma area, Qūentin Café serves delicious coffee and pastries. This is a great stop for a quick coffee and breakfast before a day of exploring.
After breakfast, hop in an Uber or take the 45ish minute walk to Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum.
Note: these museums, along with tons of others, are located in the beautiful Bosque de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Forest). Bosque de Chapultepec is a 1,700 acre park area that houses museums, playgrounds, bathrooms, green spaces and lakes. It is beautiful and makes for a great place to spend the day exploring.
Explore the National History Museum, Chapultepec Castle
Chapultepec Castle is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Mexico City. The castle was built in 1785 and has served a variety of purposes throughout history, including the Presidential home, a military school, and its current use, the National Museum of History.
The museum showcases artifacts and art from different eras throughout Mexico’s history. In addition to the interesting exhibits, the castle itself is beautiful inside and out. From its balconies and terraces you have amazing views of downtown Mexico City. Make sure you give yourself at least an hour and half to explore this museum.
Note: Chapultepec Castle is closed Mondays, and entrance is approximately $4 USD.
Visit the National Museum of Anthropology
From Chapultepec Castle, take the 20 minute walk to the National Museum of Anthropology. This is a beautiful walk through a lovely park area where you’ll pass by a variety of museums. On the way you’ll see the Modern Art Museum, the Botanical Gardens, and the Contemporary Art Museum, just to name a few.
You’ll also pass by stands selling food and drinks if you’d like to pick up a snack before spending a couple hours at the Anthropology Museum.
This museum is both the largest and most visited in Mexico, and with good reason, it is so well organized and interesting. The museum has 23 exhibits that explore Mexico’s history and ancient civilizations, including popular exhibits about the Mayans and Aztecs.
There are so many interesting artifacts to see and, in addition, the museum features impressive recreations of anthropological sites. You could easily spend a full day here and not see everything, but for a first visit I recommend at least two hours.
Entrance to the National Museum of Anthropology is around $4.50 USD and is open Tuesday-Sunday. You can buy tickets in advance online, or at the door when you arrive.
Go Shopping in Polanco
From the Anthropology Museum, take the 15-20 minute walk to Polanco. You can also Uber, but it will almost certainly be just as fast to walk.
Polanco is an upscale neighborhood known for its shopping. On the main shopping street, Avenida Presidente Masaryk, you’ll find tons of luxury stores and brands. In addition to the designer stores, you’ll also find more affordable options like Zara and The North Face.
It’s easy to spend a couple hours wandering around Polanco, grabbing a coffee in a cafe, and enjoying the shops. Be sure to also stop by Tane Jewelry Store to check out their “Mexico Mi Amor” wall – it’s a great photo stop.
Relax and People Watch in Parque Lincoln
Parque Lincoln is a great place to stop and relax after a few hours of shopping. Here you’ll find tons of dogs, nice shaded areas and a small pond where kids race model boats,
Enjoy a Fancy Dinner in Polanco
For your last night in Mexico City, Polanco is a great place to be as it’s home to a number of well known restaurants. The most famous is Pujol, which was named by the Wall Street Journal as the best restaurant in Mexico City – so it’s definitely worth a visit, if you can get a reservation.
Could I get a reservation when I was in Mexico City? Unfortunately, no. However, this restaurant came recommended by so many of my friends and fellow travelers, that I still wanted to include it in this post. You will likely need to make a reservation at least 6 weeks to 2 months in advance.
If you can’t get a reservation at Pujol, don’t worry, there’s many other great restaurants in the Polanco area.
Restaurants in Polanco:
Polanco is known for being an expensive area and many of the restaurants are definitely on the pricey side. However, there are certainly more affordable options as well.
- El Turix – a hole in the wall taco stand featured in Bon Appetit
- Cafe Toscano
- La Casa de Toño (a popular chain)
4 days in Mexico City will fly by! The city is packed full of such fun and unique things to do, see and eat. I hope this CDMX itinerary has been helpful and please let me know if you have any questions.
