The former home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is a must-see in Coyoacán.
Gaby’s grandmother, Abuelita Lulú, grew up just blocks away and often told stories about walking to school and seeing Frida painting on her balcony with Diego nearby. While the world remembers a legendary muralist, Abuelita Lulú referred to Frida's husband simply as 'ese viejo panzón' (that big-bellied old man).
Because of its popularity, tickets sell out quickly—please be sure to book in advance!
A must-visit every time Gaby goes back home.
Coyoacán is full of folklore, vibrant colors, and delicious food! It’s a classic Mexico City experience, though we do recommend that our sensitive-stomach friends proceed with a little extra caution when trying the street snacks.
This market is filled with local artists selling their work, making it the perfect spot to pick up meaningful, handcrafted souvenirs.
Coyoacán has always held a special place in Gaby’s heart, from her favorite childhood memories to her final days in Mexico before moving to Vancouver. It was one of the very first places she shared with Diko during his first visit to the city, and we hope you find it just as charming as we do.
The only royal castle in North America, offering some of the best views of the city. It’s a must-visit for the history, the gardens, and the fact that it’s one of Diko’s favorite Spanish words to say: Chapultepec!
Located in Chapultepec Park, this world-class museum covers thousands of years of Mexico’s history and culture. It houses the largest collection of ancient Mexican art, including the famous Aztec Sun Stone, within a building that is an architectural masterpiece in its own right.
An impressive archaeological site and museum located just steps from the main square. It offers a unique look at the ancient Aztec foundations upon which modern Mexico City was built.
This is Mexico City’s premier opera house and art museum. It is centrally located and a perfect starting point for exploring the historic downtown area (Centro Histórico).
