Mexico City in 48h 🌮

Condesa Charm & Historic Heart 🌳

Morning: Brunch at Maque Condesa
Start your day in the stylish neighbourhood of Condesa with breakfast at Maque, a local favourite known for its charming sidewalk seating and fresh-baked conchas (Mexican sweet bread). Order a café de olla and a chilaquiles plate to fuel up for the day ahead. It’s a cosy, relaxed atmosphere, ideal for people-watching and easing into the city’s rhythm.

Late Morning: Stroll through Parque México
After brunch, walk a block over to Parque México, one of the city's most beloved green spaces. Framed by Art Deco buildings and shaded by tall trees, this lush urban park is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Watch locals walk their dogs, stop at a bench with a book, or just enjoy the tranquil vibe.

Afternoon: Tacos at Taquería Orinoco
When hunger strikes again, head to Taquería Orinoco, a popular spot known for its northern-style tacos. Their specialties, tacos de chicharrón (crispy pork), bistec, and al pastor, are best enjoyed with a side of fries and their signature creamy salsas. The casual, fast-paced setting reflects the city’s energy.

Evening: Palacio de Bellas Artes & House of Tiles
As the sun begins to dip, make your way downtown to the Palacio de Bellas Artes, one of Mexico City’s most iconic buildings. Admire the Art Nouveau façade and step inside to see murals by Diego Rivera and stunning stained glass. Right next door, don’t miss The House of Tiles (Casa de los Azulejos), an 18th-century palace adorned in blue-and-white tiles. Its opulent interior houses a classic Sanborns café, perfect for a coffee or dessert.

Culture, Coffee & Craftsmanship ☕

Morning: Churros at El Moro
Begin your day with a sweet breakfast at El Moro, a legendary churrería that’s been serving piping-hot churros since 1935. Pair your crispy churros with a thick cup of Mexican hot chocolate, choose from traditional, Spanish, or French styles. The Condesa or Centro Histórico locations both offer beautiful, tiled settings.

Late Morning: Browse at Cafebrería El Péndulo Polanco
Next, head to the upscale neighbourhood of Polanco to visit Cafebrería El Péndulo, a combined bookstore, café, and cultural space. The Polanco branch is especially elegant, with high ceilings, cosy nooks, and leafy décor. It’s the perfect spot to browse books, sip a latte, or pick up a thoughtful souvenir.

Afternoon: México Mi Amor by TANE
Before wrapping up your whirlwind trip, stop by México Mi Amor, a concept store by TANE, Mexico’s premier luxury silver brand. This boutique celebrates Mexican design and artistry through jewellery, textiles, and curated objects. It’s an elegant final stop to experience Mexico City’s refined side, and maybe take home a timeless piece of craftsmanship.
