Roma and Condesa feel like the cool kids of Mexico City - the kind of neighbourhoods where you could spend all day wandering and still find something new around every corner. Think leady streets lined with colourful townhouses, quirky shops, and some of the best coffee and food you'll ever have. It's got that laid back vibe, but there's always something going on, whether it's a gallery opening, a pop-up market, or just people chilling with their dogs in the park. It's the perfect spot to slow down, explore, and pretend you live there for a day (or forever). When we fantasise about living in Mexico, this would be where you would find us!

parque México 

Parque México is the ultimate chills port in the city- the lush greenery, art deco vibes, and people walking their adorable dogs EVERYWHERE. It's perfect for a casual stroll, grabbing a coffee, or just sitting on a bench pretending you're in a movie. It's peaceful but never boring, with street performers and locals bringing it to life. ​

​

Parque España

Parque España feels like a little oasis in the middle of the city. It's a smaller and cosier version of Parque México, but it's just as charming! With winding paths, cute ponds, and plenty of spots to relax. It's the kind of place where you can people watch, read a book, or just enjoy the quiet buzz of the neighbourhood around you. 

 

cibeles fountain

The Cibeles Fountain is one of those landmarks that makes you stop and go, "Wow, this is cool". Sitting right in the middle of a busy roundabout, it's a gorgeous replica of the one in Madrid, but with its own Mexico City flair. The area is lively, with numerous restaurants, cafés, and bars encircling the square, offering a variety of dining and entertainment options.
