If you love amazing food, architecture mixed with some good weather than Mexico City should definitely be on your must-visit list.
Our trip was a four-day mini vacation where we managed to pack in a lot. A good portion of our time was spent visiting many of Luis Barragan’s projects throughout the entire city while exploring the streets between each one of them. We highly recommend emailing the places ahead of time as many of these homes are private and require a reservation. Another architectural highlight that we visited is the Biblioteca Vasconcelos, the entrance of this stunning location is free. Additionally, we carved out some time to visit several other museums as well including, the Frida Kahlo Museum, Museo Soumaya, Museo Jumex, Museo Tamayo, and the Museo Nacional de Antropología. Do know that many of these are closed on Mondays so keep that in mind when planning your trip!
While we came for the architecture it was the food that really stole our hearts. It is an experience by itself to grab food from the local street carts but if you rather visit a sit down restaurant than Contramar is a must if you are a seafood lover! If you really want to treat yourself be sure to book a reservation at Pujol, you might need to be quick on this one since most people reserve months in advance (seriously).
During our visit we had the incredible opportunity to stay at RYO KAN which is located just outside of the hip Roma area. This hidden gem is a tranquil Japanese oasis in the heart of CDMX so it almost feels as though you are in two different destinations at once. RYO KAN is a boutique hotel with beautiful natural light in the interior courtyard which all ten of the unique residences open on to.
