Meeting point

Doctores Neighborhood (Colonia Doctores) in Mexico City is a vibrant area with a mix of old and new influences. While historically known for being working-class and a bit rough around the edges, it's become a hub for street art, especially graffiti. The walls of Doctores are adorned with murals and graffiti that range from politically charged pieces to more abstract or personal works. You'll find a raw, urban energy here, with artists using bright colors, intricate designs, and bold statements. The neighborhood’s gritty aesthetic has made it appealing for creatives, and it offers an authentic, underground vibe, contrasting with the more touristy parts of Mexico City.

Museo del Juguete Antiguo México (The Antique Toy Museum of Mexico, entrance not included) is located within the Doctores neighborhood and is a hidden gem for lovers of both nostalgia and street art. The museum’s exterior is a canvas for some of the city’s best graffiti artists.

Condesa Neighborhood is one of Mexico City's trendiest areas, known for its leafy streets, art deco architecture, and vibrant urban art scene. Graffiti and murals can be found throughout, particularly around Avenida Ámsterdam and Parque México, often blending contemporary styles with Mexican cultural themes. The neighborhood has a hip, bohemian vibe, making it a hotspot for creatives and art lovers alike.
Stop to eat the most famous taco stand for its variety of guisados (stewed fillings) served in freshly made tortillas. Located in the vibrant Condesa neighborhood, this spot offers an authentic, no-frills taco experience. From savory tinga, chile relleno, to hearty picadillo, each taco is a flavorful glimpse into traditional Mexican home cooking. Popular with locals and visitors alike, it’s a must-stop for anyone looking to enjoy the comforting flavors of Mexico.
