4 Days in Mexico City – The All in One Guide

July 21, 2019 By Jimmy Huss

Alright, Mexico City in 4 days! Majestic in its scope and fascinating in its depth and varieties of experiences, Mexico City is one of the best places to visit in this world. With beautiful historical monuments and museum, the present-day Mexico City is deep-rooted in reflections of rich heritage and cultural past. When here, there are some new and unexpected things to keep you on your toes each time you step out of your hotel room. But for that, you have to start somewhere. So, just for you, I am going to give you the rundown of an amazing Mexico City itinerary that covers all the important attractions of the city. 

Before starting the itinerary, let’s talk about where to stay in Mexico City. There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to staying in Mexico City. The highest recommendations (in the luxury category) are:

  • Gran Hotel Ciudad de México

Address: 16 de Septiembre 82, Centro Histórico de la Cdad. de México, Centro, 06000 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  • Hyatt Regency

Address: Campos Elíseos 204, Polanco, Polanco IV Secc, 11560 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  • Hilton Mexico City Reforma

Address: Av. Juárez 70, Colonia Centro, Centro, 06010 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

For budget options, we highly suggest using Airbnb. It’s a great way to meet locals, get suggestions from the host and settle into the local way of life.

Not all properties come with Safes in the room but if you feel its necessary you can always check out these portable travel safes to make sure your valuables are always safe.

Day 1 in Mexico City

9:00 AM: Since you don’t have time to waste, have a quick breakfast either at the hotel or outside (whatever suits you). Once you are done fueling your stomach, begin your sightseeing tour of Mexico. Start with Zocalo – the central square of Mexico City. It is engirdled by a number of historical edifices such as the National Palace and the Metropolitan Cathedral. If you are lucky enough, you might be a part of a big event happening there on the day of your visit. 

11:00 AM: Thereafter, proceed towards to Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes. Established in 1934, this iconic building boasts a beautiful Neoclassical and Art Nouveau architecture and the interior is Art Deco. This place houses a huge collection of murals by some renowned artists from Mexico. Not just this, it has a rich collection of international artworks and exhibits. I would recommend you to spend a couple of hours there if you are a real art and culture buff. 

2:00 PM: Have lunch on the go from any street food stalls or any of the incredible Mexico City food locations and then visit Chapultepec Park. However, I personally recommend you to try the delectable Vegan tacos from Vigo that lie en route from the park. Traversing Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes to Chapultepec Park, you can enjoy the beautiful sights of Paseo de la Reforma. Spend some time relishing the beauty of the park, watching squirrels scrabbling up and down the trees and the tourists feeding them. If you don’t want to do that then you can enjoy a train ride up to the Castillo de Chapultepec. Inside the building, there is the National Museum of History that exhibits objects from the history of Mexico. 

7:00 PM: Once you done with Castillo de Chapultepec, head to Torre Latinoamericana to enjoy some drinks in Miralto Bar. You can also have food. But make sure to visit this place before sunset as you can capture the scintillating views of the sun falling asleep. After that, head back to your hotel, have dinner and enjoy a pleasing sleep. 

4 Days in Mexico City

Day 2 in Mexico City

On day 2 of Mexico excursion, cover a different but equally enthralling part of the city by heading south to Coyoacan. 

8:00 AM: Have your breakfast in the morning at your hotel or any cafe down the road. Some of the best cafes in Mexico City are:

  • Quentin Cafe

Address: Av. Álvaro Obregón 64, Roma Nte., 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  •  Almanegra Cafe

Address: Tonalá 53, Roma Nte., 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  • Cafe Avellaneda

Address: Higuera 40-A, La Concepción, 04020 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  •  Maison Belen

Address: Galileo 31, Polanco, Polanco IV Secc, 11550 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  • El Beneficio Cafe

Address: Gómez Farias 83, Del Carmen, 04100 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

9:00 AM: Leave your hotel for Casa Azul. Also known as The Blue House and Frida Kahlo Museum, Casa Azul is the childhood home of Frida Kahlo. Presently, it is one of the most important Mexico City attractions and a museum exhibiting the personal possessions and artworks of him. Before visiting this place, make sure you have pre-bought tickets in order to avoid the hassle of standing in a long queue. The museum opens at 10 most of the days so make sure you leave your hotel accordingly. 

12:00 PM: The ticket to Casa Azul also gives access to Diego Rivera’s old house. Entitled as Anahuacalli Museum, this place is yet another interesting attraction that must be included in your Mexico City itinerary. Here you get to see a massive collection of pre-Hispanic art. 

2:00 PM: There are plenty of options in Mexico City to enjoy a delicious lunch. Mercado de Coyoacán and Jardín Centenario are two places with plenty to eat in Mexico City.

3:00 PM: After having lunch, visit Acuario Inbursa for a unique and amazing experience. The largest aquarium in Mexico, Acuario Inbursa is home to more than 280 marine species including five species of sharks, manta rays and barracuda. 

5:00 PM: In the afternoon, return to the Jardin Centenario and relish the picturesque views of the sunset and adore the surreal ambiance of the place. 

** If you have some extra time in the evening and your arent ready to head home yet, check out Lucha Libre in Mexico City. It’s really a unique experience!**

4 Days in Mexico City The 2020 Itinerary




Day 3 in Mexico City

Make day 3 of your Mexico City vacation altogether different from the first two days. Enjoy the atmosphere of La Roma and Condesa areas. 

9:00 AM: Grab a quick breakfast at your hotel or a cafe near to it, and proceed to Condesa. If you can wait we suggest you to also have your breakfast in Condesa. Some of our favorites are:

  • El Pendulo

Address: Av Nuevo León 115, Colonia Condesa, 06140 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  •  Rocco Cafe

Address: Virgilio 8, Local D-Bis, Polanquito, 11560 Ciudad de México, Mexico

10:00 AM: Wander through the beautiful lanes of Condesa and relish in the ambiance. This is one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city. With boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and shops, there is so much to experience and explore in Condesa. 

1:00 PM: Stop at a cafe or restaurant to enjoy a delectable lunch. 

3:00 PM: Proceed to La Roma. Spend your evening exploring the boutiques and shops of La Roma. 

8:00 PM: In the evening, you can hop into any bar, which is one of the top things to do in Mexico City, to end the day in a special way. There are a number of amazing bars in Mexico City that you cannot afford to miss (if not all but at least a few). 

  • Jules Basement

Address: Calle Julio Verne 93, Polanco, Polanco IV Secc, 11560 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  •  Hanky Panky

Address: Turín, Juárez, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

  •  Felina Bar 

Address: Calle Ometusco 87, Hipódromo, 06100 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

Thereafter, head back to your hotel, to sum up, your 3 days in Mexico City. 

4 Days in Mexico City

Day 4 in Mexico City

Dedicate your day 4 of this Mexico tour to some historical expeditions. Visit Teotihuacan and climb the pyramids. 

7:00 AM: Since it will take around an hour to two to reach pyramids by bus, hence, it is advisable to begin your day a bit early. Upon arrival, admire the picturesque views of the surroundings. Visit the beautiful archaeological sites of the region. 

4 Days in Mexico City




1:00 PM: Before you board the return bus, stop at La Gruta to have lunch. 

7:00 PM: Visit Arena Mexico on the last evening of your Mexico city tour. Enjoy a professional boxing match, luchas libres. Thereafter return back to the hotel.

So, this is the best way to explore the beautiful Mexico City. Hope you’ve liked it! 

PIN IT FOR LATER!!

The first of many posts from our trip to Costa Ric The first of many posts from our trip to Costa Rica. This was not only a much-needed trip away from the computer but a great opportunity to celebrate my 30th birthday! ⁣
⁣
This was the first trip I have ever been on that I didn’t plan a single thing. I didn’t look at any maps I didn’t care where we went, just wanted to spend some much-needed alone time with @jrherrm. ⁣
⁣
A couple of things we learned….⁣
⁣
 It rains a lot in the rainforest 😂 🌧⁣
⁣
When searching for wildlife, you need to look closely or pay for a guide that has a telescope. ⁣
⁣
Make sure you bring some @western_rise clothes because they are about the only durable and quick-dry clothes that were actually able to dry with the humidity in the rain forest: Discount Code DIVERTLIVING⁣
⁣
Bring an umbrella, Rain jackets won’t cut it.⁣
⁣
When booking a rental car, just expect your price to double from what your reservation says.⁣
⁣
Spend an entire day in the hot springs, but make sure your reservation is made no later than seven days in advance⁣
⁣
Hiking shoes and water shoes are a must⁣

We just arrived in Tel Aviv and I have to say this We just arrived in Tel Aviv and I have to say this is truly one of my favorite cities I have ever visited! Every city and place in the world has positives and negatives and all of these differ by each person. When you research a city or visit a city you have to be open to knowing you will not like everything about each place.⁣
⁣
And that brings me to this point. ⁣
⁣
I hate the Negativity, the constant bad-mouthing of people and places based on a select few. To be honest, if I listened to everything I saw or heard I wouldn't travel anywhere due to rumors or fear. ⁣
⁣
If I have learned anything over the years it’s this, just because you see something on the news or a post on the internet doesn’t mean you should jump to conclusions. Make your own decisions, learn first hand what the people are like what the food is like, and come to your own conclusions. ⁣
⁣
Be open, be accepting, be courteous and be careful what you believe.⁣
⁣
The people in Israel have been nothing but incredible. I really don’t think I had one bad interaction the entire trip and I can’t wait to go back and see more!⁣

Sometimes trusting complete strangers can lead to Sometimes trusting complete strangers can lead to the most rewarding adventures. ⁣
⁣
When it comes to travel and research you can spend hours researching all the best things to do and see but nothing will compare to the suggestions from locals. Almost every place I travel to I always make sure to ask all the locals we interact with what their recommendations are. ⁣
⁣
Today's recommendation led us two hours into the jungle to some pretty incredible caves and waterfalls. ⁣
⁣
I ended up leaving @steveyalo at the cave, this is the last I saw of him the whole trip. I think he may still be there doing Thai chi in the jungle⁣

⁣
I have so many friends from the military that are from PR and they always talked about how diverse it is. I can say PR really does have the best of everything, beaches, waterfalls, food, rainforest. You name it, they have it. Bonus - It's only a $250 round trip ticket from NYC 😆⁣
