1. 1:41

   Casa de los Azulejos

   🏛️ Historic site · Centro Histórico

   Worth reading the history displayed inside while eating lunch there.

2. 3:24

   Polanco

   🏘️ Neighborhood · Miguel Hidalgo

   A local-recommended taco spot here serves a great torta, and there is a shopping street to explore.

3. 4:41

   Biblioteca Vasconcelos

   🏢 Landmark · Buenavista

   Most books are in Spanish, so English readers may not find much to buy.

4. 6:59

   Chapultepec Castle (National Museum of History)

   🏛️ Museum · Chapultepec

   It closes early, so arrive with time to spare rather than rushing up an hour before closing.

5. 7:41

   National Museum of Anthropology

   🏛️ Museum · Chapultepec

   It's huge and tiring, so plan a coffee break partway through.

6. 11:55

   Palacio Postal

   🏰 Palace · Centro Histórico

   Called the nicest post office ever seen.

7. 12:20

   Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL)

   🏛️ Museum · Centro Histórico

   It closes at 5:00 pm, so allow more than 45 minutes for a proper visit.

8. 15:47

   Coyoacán

   🏘️ Neighborhood · Coyoacán

   The colourful streets make great photo backdrops even if the museum is closed.

9. 15:58

   Mercado de Coyoacán

   🛒 Market · Coyoacán

   Try the guanábana fruit and a bowl of pozole at one of the food stalls; bring cash.

10. 16:10

    Frida Kahlo Museum (Casa Azul)

    🏛️ Museum · Coyoacán

    Tickets sell out about a month ahead, so book early; the blue exterior wall is still a popular photo spot.
