Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Mexico

"Address: Londres 247, Del Carmen, Coyoacán, 04100 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico | Phone: +52 55 5554 5999 | Website | Open 10 am to 5 pm daily, closed Mondays | Entrance 270 pesos for foreign tourists. You’re probably familiar with Frida Kahlo by this point and, if not, you’re likely to see paintings of her in destinations all around Mexico. But you may not know about her complicated personal history, including her behind-the-scenes battle with the crippling effects of polio."

"Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul is just around the corner. I’ve only been here once and I’m gonna be honest, I wasn’t 100% blown away. It’s very busy and I kind of felt like I was on a school trip. I didn’t get the time to really appreciate everything as the line is constantly moving."

"The blue house is a very famous and beautiful building in Mexico City, and in the 20th century, it was made into a museum!. Nowadays, the museum is very popular. I love the bright colour blue of the house, especially in combination with the orange floor!"

"The greatest urban park in Mexico City, Chapultepec is the capital’s lung with an extension of roughly a thousand and a half acres. This urban oasis is not only extremely rich in flora and fauna, hosting also its own botanical garden, but also in art and history being home to the Chapultepec Castle and some of the best museums in town: the Museum of Anthropology, one of the finest museums in the world of its kind, the Museum of Modern Art and Tamayo Museum. Locals love spending their weekends there walking, visiting one of the museums, rowing a boat in the lake, or just relaxing."

"1.30pm: Get some lunch on the go from any of the street vendors that can be found in the nearby Chapultepec park, or on the streets leading up to it. It’s a brief walk to the park from the museum and you can enjoy the sights of Paseo de la Reforma on your way. Find a bench and watch the squirrels scrabbling up and down the trees, on the lookout for kind tourists offering them food. After you’ve eaten, stroll around the park – it’s the largest inner-city green space in all of Latin America."

"Finishing the tour at around 4, I’d recommend spending the last few hours of daylight in the Bosque de Chapultepec. Check out the castle, take boats out on the lake if you desire, and just enjoy being in the largest green lung of the city."

"Located in the same office building as crucial art criticism publication, Terremoto, Lodos is a collaborative space directed by Francisco Cordero-Oceguera. The gallery invites project ideas from artists, writers and curators worldwide. Oceguera studied at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, where he formed Lodos as a experimental art space before relocating back to Mexico City, bringing the project along with him."

"In what better place can architects apply their theories than in their own home?. Luis Barragán proved that with his Casa Barragán. It is the second residence that the architect designed for himself in the Tacubaya district of Mexico City; the first was on 20–22 Ramirez Street, only a stone’s throw away."

"Casa Luis Barragán sits next to Archivo, which is across from Labor. The Tacubaya Triangle, some call it. Convenient for an afternoon art dive, as these three spaces give you a unique taste for Mexico’s past, present and future within a one block radius."

"No lo sabemos con certeza, pero lo que sí podemos afirmar es que es una parada obligatoria entre los expertos. Hay más de 35 opciones de tratamientos, masajes y faciales. Tiene un circuito hidrotermal con sauna, jacuzzi, cama de burbujas y vapor con aromaterapia."

"Quien diría que a unos pasos del WTC —en medio del ajetreo de godín — se esconde un pequeño spa que es perfecto para desconectarte de todos tus pendientes y preocupaciones. Entre sus tratamientos más pedidos está el anticelulítico manual, que garantiza una piel más lisa; el reductivo colombiano que reduce el tejido adiposo y moldea el cuerpo y el detox de café. Nos encantan sus precios, bastante accesibles para quien tiene un presupuesto limitado."

"We were dining in Los Danzantes in Coyoacan and I got a really great espresso after dinner. The waitress was happy to share the bag and tell me that Buma makes great coffee. Not only that, but the location is in the Plaza Rio de Janeiro in Roma Norte which has to be experienced."

"Buna was where we tried Mexican coffee for both of our first times, and you could say this was a great thing for us. BUNA is located within a restaurant that shares its address. Both are thoughtfully-designed, in a modern yet retro type of simplistic way."

"This modern hole-in-the-wall coffee shop serves a delicious cafechata (iced coffee mixed with horchata, a sweetened, spiced rice milk). It’s one of the only beverages that I drink devotedly a few times each day."

"Tonight was our big dinner at Entremar. It’s the sister of Contramar, serving exacting the same things, so don’t be sad if you don’t get a reservation at Contramar. We emailed them and they hooked us up!. You’re gonna need to get the Tostadas de atun, and an aguachile of some kind (it’s basically ceviche)."
