Coyoacán

Que chulo. Me encanto. Que bueno que pase un día aquí. Pase a Casa Azul, Museo de Frida y luego fui a comer unos ricos tacos. Obtuve un Uber de Roma Norte aquí que tardo un poco. Me gusto mucho pasar por el mercado! Gente muy amable!

An amazing area of CDMX! Vibrant, full of life, especially on weekends where streets are bustling with local artisans, vendors, performers, etc. You can easily spend a day or weekend here taking in the shops, markets, local fare, and locals themselves! We did not stay in this area but will certainly look into Airbnb options in the future when we come back to really soak in the local flavor.

¡Coyoacán es un "pueblo mágico" que tiene hermosos edificios y gente amable! ¡Hay mucho que hacer y este lugar es acogedor para las personas LGBT+! ¡La casa azul de Frida Khalo también se encuentra aquí! Estoy absolutamente enamorada de esta ciudad. Coyoacán is a "magic town" that has beautiful buildings and friendly people! There is a lot to do and this place is welcoming to LGBT+ people! Frida Khalo's blue house is located here too! I am absolutely in love with this town.

Love love love this place. You can shop, eat, drink, explore, people watch and walk all in one place while enjoying the green space and hustle bustle. This is an all day or a half day affair so save some time and come here, you wont regret it.

Coyocan makes a great destination for a full day of shopping, museums and dining. You can take a bus or the Metro -- and walk through the gardens to the west of the neighborhood. You'll find the Mercado of Artesanias and the Mercado near the Casa Azul -- check them out and you'll notice a lot of repeats of items for sale, so just ask prices and get a sense of what's usual before buying something. The vendor will be all the happier to see you when you return. There are a ton of great vegan places in the neighborhood - esp don't miss Pan Gabriel which has vegan, GF and "healthy" pastries that are delicious and makes a great spot to take a break while you wait for your entry time to Casa Azul. Have fun!

Such a peaceful, laid back neighborhood! The name Coyoacan comes from the Spanish word for "Coyote" and they pay tribute to the local mascot with fountains and statues erected in honor of these noble creatures that used to prowl the area. Coyoacan used to be a suburb of Mexico City, but now thanks to the sprawl of the city, it's just a district of the greater Mexico City area. It's a middle-income, hip neighborhood with such gems as the Frida Khalao Museum, and the Leon Trotsky Museum. The place has houses with cool design - no two look identical, which gives the neighborhood some real character. Outdoor murals brighten the scene along here, as this neighborhood has a long and intimate relationship with the Latino arts scene. The central zocalo is really nice, and has a big party every Saturday.

If Zocalo is the reflection of the colonial-era elite area, then Coyoacan is the reflection of a colonial-era commoner neighborhood. Unlike Zocalo that is full of grand and extravagant buildings, Coyoacan's architecture is much more modest with only the main church that can somewhat match Centro Historico. Perhaps that is why this is such a charming neighborhood! Instead of restaurants, you may find more food booths and street stands in Coyoacan. Instead of luxury shops, you may find more temporary galleries and displays in the parks. Coyoacan is certainly a huge contrast from the cosmopolitan Mexico City center. But you may be disappointed if you are seeking some sort of quiet refuge, because today, Coyoacan is a bustling tourist destination with a crowd that can match Zocalo's. That being said, if you want to experience a different and down-to-earth side of Mexico City, take a 30-minute Uber ride to Coyoacan. This neighborhood is not only an interesting neighborhood to see but also a premier destination of delicious street food that is worth trying.

Just a few miles out of the main part of the city, Coyoacan is a beautiful part of town worth a stop during a trip to DF. I came for Frida and stayed for the historic center. It was a stormy day in mid-May, so not as many people were out and about in the park or at the markets, but it wasn't completely dead either. The area has a heavy colonial style, but the more brightly colored buildings make up for the Spanish designs. There is a huge cathedral, nothing like the monstrosity in the other historic center, but pretty hideous in its own way. Still, a fun place to stroll! There is lots to see and had it not been so rainy, it would have been a perfect place to stop and have a snack in one of the many outdoor cafes. If you're visiting Frida's house or the nearby studio, this spot is a no-brainer for food, more sight-seeing, and maybe a short rest and people watching in front the coyote fountain.

What a lovely neighborhood to experience on a weekend when people are out and about. We took an Uber from Colonia Roma to the Frida Khalo Museum. We were more interested in the area than the museum itself; as soon as we got out of the car, we started walking toward the Mercado. We explored the market and its food offerings and then kept walking down the street, past artists, shops, and street vendors. There was so much going on. We walked all the way to Parque Centenario and were tempted by all of the food vendors. We ended up trying some ice cream bars, street tacos, and corn on the cob. I wish we could've eaten even more. This area seemed like a gathering spot for families on Sundays. It was festive and relaxing. I could not imagine a better place to get a taste of Mexican life. It is a little bit outside of the center of the City but it is totally worth it.

Came here during my trip to Mexico City and from all the areas we visited during our trip, Coyoacan was definitely my favorite! It's so quaint and the locals are very friendly. Not to mention the great food selection and arts available. Go visit Casa Azul and then get lost walking around and soak in the culture. It's a must, I highly recommend.

I don't know why this park and neighborhood isn't higher on people's lists! The park is so charming and alive. A beautiful cathedral overlooks the park, which is surrounded by lots of lovely restaurants. It seems like around sunset, many locals come to just sit in the park and people watch. The park and its surrounding neighborhood is the perfect spot to spend a relaxing, romantic afternoon and evening.

It's beautiful! Visit it when in Mexico City. Has all the charm one could imagine.

If you have an extra day in the city this is the place to go. It is a city within a city. The trip is about $15 taxi ride from the Zona Rosa, and plan to go about 10 am after the rush hour traffic. There is lots to see and do he. Most travel books have a whole section about this part of the city. I always have lunch here and enjoy a coffee in the many cafes to people watch and just bring a friend to enjoy what this part of the city offers but leave by 3pm due to rush hour traffic
