Mexico City is too large for a checklist. Choose one neighbourhood for each half-day, allow for traffic, and make the reservation you care about the anchor rather than an interruption.
This itinerary links Frida Kahlo's intimate home in Coyoacán with a destination meal in Polanco, leaving space between them for the city's parks, galleries and street life.
Day 1 — Coyoacán in blue
10:00 · Do
Museo Frida KahloTake the first timed slot, then stay in Coyoacán for the courtyards, market and shaded streets instead of leaving immediately.
Day 2 — Polanco and a long lunch
13:30 · Eat
PujolReserve as soon as dates open and keep the afternoon clear. The tasting menu should be the day's main event, not squeezed between appointments.
16:00 · Do
Museo Frida KahloIf morning tickets are gone, a later timed entry still works — simply plan extra travel time across the city.
Know before you go
- — Casa Azul uses timed tickets and often sells out; buy only through its official channel.
- — Allow generous travel time between Coyoacán and Polanco, particularly around rush hour.
- — The city's altitude can make the first day tiring; hydrate and keep the arrival schedule light.
