An upscale and elegant neighborhood known for luxury shopping and high-end restaurants. Polanco is home to Avenida Presidente Masaryk, Mexico City’s answer to Rodeo Drive, and sits next to Chapultepec Park, one of the largest city parks in the world. Great for guests who enjoy a polished atmosphere.

Tacos Orinoco is a chain with various locations in the city. We enjoyed their tacos and salsas.

One of the trendiest neighborhoods in the city, Roma Norte is full of charming tree-lined streets, cafes, cocktail bars, art galleries, and boutique shops. It’s lively but relaxed, very walkable

Lily and James Recommendations:

Niddo was a great brunch spot! The food was amazing and it’s in a cozy location.

Roma Sur is a quieter, more residential extension of Roma Norte. It’s ideal for guests who want to stay close to the action while enjoying a calmer, more local feel.

La Casa de Toño is a chain with locations throughout the city, serving authentic Mexican food at a very affordable price. If you only can try one place for great Mexican food, it’s La Casa de Toño.

Known for its Art Deco buildings, wide avenues, and green spaces, La Condesa is centered around Parque México and Parque España. It’s very walkable and dog-friendly, with lots of outdoor seating, brunch spots, and bars. A favorite among visitors and locals alike.

The heart of Mexico City, filled with iconic landmarks like the Zócalo, Palacio de Bellas Artes, and Templo Mayor. This area is rich in history, architecture, and museums. It can be busy and hectic during the day, but is unmatched for sightseeing and cultural experiences.

Other than the iconic landmarks mentioned above, we loved this bakery (Pasteleria Ideal) that has been open since 1927. Their cookies with various fillings such as strawberry and guava are amazing.
