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.
