Day 1: Arrive in CDMX
Arrive in CDMX and take a short transfer into the city and arrive at your hotel. After you check-in and freshen up take a stroll around the neighborhood and grab a coffee and churro at El Moro.
Get ready to explore Polanco before your dinner at Pujol, currently ranked number 5 in the world best restaurants. Here you’ll find all the designer shops in the city plus gorgeous treelined streets.
After dinner grab a night cap at the Freehouse Bar inside the original library at historic Sofitel Reforma.
Day 2: Explore the city like a local
In the morning, you'll meet up with the tour that will take you through Mexico City like a local, via bicycle. This small group excursion takes you through parks and markets. You'll pass by monuments and street art on the way to the Frida Kahlo Museum. The tour includes skip-the-line tickets to the museum. Spend your day learning about the history of Casa Azul, and Frida’s personal life and struggles. Be sure to save time for all the great photo ops on the grounds.
After your time in the museum walk a few blocks down the street to the Market Coyoacán. Buy a cute handmade bag or leather goods. Once it's time for lunch stop inside, and grab a stool at the counter at Tostadas Coyoacán. Be sure to try the ceviche and chicken tinga.
After you’ve freshened up, and on the way to dinner stop to have a drink at the beautiful Four Seasons patio. Dinner is at Rosetta, the gorgeous converted mansion filled with greenery and al fresco paintings. The restaurant is led by an award-winning female chef.
Day 3: Shopping and lucha libre
Have a leisurely morning at your hotel. Make your way to the hotel spa in the Sofitel Reforma, post-treatment hang out in the beautiful indoor pool with sweeping views of the city. You can order lite bites and mimosas.
Head to Roma Norta for a day full of boutique shopping, art galleries, and lunch at Panaderia Rosetta. Shops not to miss-be sure to check out Carla Fernandez, Casa Bosques, and 180 Degrees.
For your last night in the city, experience lucha libre with your girlfriends! Here is the local, nitty-gritty of the city. You’ll have fun, and mingle with locals while enjoying a full night of Mexican wrestling. Your guides will meet you for beers and tacos before the show begins and give you a complete rundown of the evening.
After the show, you will be close to Roma Norte, so you can finish the night off at Licorería Limantour.
Need to know
Mexico City is huge and you won't see everything in a long weekend. Traffic can also make getting around more difficult but Ubers are cheap and easy to use all over the city. The city is great to visit year-round.
