Area in close walking distance to the Frida Kahlo Museum, and the renowned churro place. We left the hotel early, got dropped off with one hour before our ticket admitting us in so we walked to a Panera that Doc spotted on the ride there. We entered a church, had lunch in the area and did some shopping. Doc bought a bracelet I liked from a vendor and a T-shirt from a man across the street from the museum for me. I bought some bracelets and pouches from a man on the street. He could speak English and said his family was Aztec. He made the bracelets and his grandmother made the pouches. Many locals with their dogs and tourists were enjoying the nice warm weather. We saw people being blessed with special smoke or sage. Many shops and eateries on nice streets. There was one two story restaurant that looked very pretty and romantic with couples eating on the outdoor balcony. read more

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!

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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 read more

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