It is a popular place to visit, especially on weekends, because many of the original layouts, plazas and narrow streets have been preserved and date from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. « less

We went there to see the much publicized Saturday Market. Well if you are in for ART it is one place to go to. We bought some trinkets ( letter opener )being peddled and some small items as we are wary of the weight of our luggage . Other than that , I believed Zocalo on a Sunday has more... More

This is a very nice place to stroll around, drink a coffee, visit some interesting places and the Frida house. Quite easy to get there, just some walking or biking is a prerequisite, but so worth it.

Great place to visit from the park, 17th century church, great restaurants and cafes, local street vendors, and fresh brewed coffee houses. I could write 100s of reviews just on this one area, but instead I'll just say go there. You won't be disappointed.

Additional to the central square you have access to the San Juan Bautista Church, Frida Kalho museum, and places to purchase special souvenirs. Interesant place to spent an afternoon

We took the train to this area. Although it was raining with hurricane like characteristics, you could not help but see the charm of the area. The buildings, churches, and streets were worth seeing. I also had a delicious pazole soup from the market there.

Coyoacan just might be my #1 place in D.F.. The atmosphere is really laid-back, there's a lot of history, fun street performances, live music, great food, amazing coffee...the list goes on and on. To arrive, it's easy to take the subway (light green line). Get off the metro at the station called Viveros. From there, you can take a bus... More

This area is beautiful! I loved it more than Condesa or Polanco. Frieda's house is lovely to see as well. The area is just so relaxing to be in. In the late evenings gets very crowded.
