What's on in Mexico City, Mexico this week — the spots locals are packing, buzzy restaurants, and weekend plans worth texting the group chat about.
Events and things to do this Sunday, April 19
It's the perfect morning to wander through the heart of Coyoacán. Today’s market features live folk music and local artisans selling handmade textiles and ceramics—don't miss the fresh mamey smoothies at the juice stand near the entrance.
Enjoy a relaxed Sunday set in the lush, plant-filled atmosphere of this iconic bookstore-café. The acoustics are wonderful, and it's the ideal spot to escape the midday sun with a cold drink and a book.
Buzzy spots and seasonal flavors
A must-visit for Sunday brunch. Their signature grilled red snapper (pescado a la talla) is legendary. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of white wine is the ultimate way to enjoy the dry April sunshine.
The guava roll (rol de guayaba) is the reason for the queue. Grab a coffee and a pastry and find a spot in Plaza Río de Janeiro to enjoy the morning light. It’s simple, delicious, and deeply local.
Making the most of the spring warmth
The city shuts down parts of Reforma for bikes, skates, and pedestrians. Rent a bike and ride the iconic avenue while enjoying the purple Jacarandas in full bloom. It's the best way to experience the city before the afternoon heat peaks.
The street market in Condesa is bustling today. Grab a freshly made quesadilla with huitlacoche and browse the seasonal mangoes and local honey. It’s a quintessential Mexico City Sunday experience.
Limited-time experiences
The purple blooms are at their absolute peak right now. Take advantage of the clear, dry skies to photograph the contrast against the city's architecture. Walking through Roma and Condesa right now feels like a dream.
Weekend trips within reach
Just two hours away, this 'Pueblo Mágico' offers a beautiful lake and pine forests. Perfect for a quick recharge. Spend your morning paragliding or just enjoy a lakeside lunch with fresh trout.
Head south to this mystical mountain village. Hike up to the Tepozteco pyramid for incredible views of the valley. The town market is fantastic for trying traditional 'itacates' (stuffed corn triangles).
