EXPLORE MEXICO CITY
Coyoacán
Coyoacán and San Ángel are two of the most charming spots in Mexico Citty, where the old school vibe feels more like a quiet escape from the buzz of the rest of the City. Coyoacán has this relaxed artsy feel, with cobblestone streets, colourful houses, and laid back atmosphere that makes you want to just stop and enjoy the moment. It's the perfect place to grab a coffee or stroll through the market. San Ángel, on the other hand, has a more refined but equally cosy charm, with its beautiful old town square, boutique galleries, and fancy cafés. Both are full of character, and you can easily spend the day wandering, discovering little corners you didn't expect.
