On your doorstep

What you’re living next to if you stay here.

• 2.The Frida Kahlo Museum — La Casa Azul — the cobalt-blue Coyoacán house where Frida Kahlo was born, lived, painted and died, kept as she left it, full of her art, clothes, wheelchair and spirit. Intimate and deeply moving, the highlight of any art-lover's trip; book a timed ticket online well ahead, as it always sells out.
• 8.Xochimilco — Board a trajinera — a wide, brightly painted flat boat poled through the last of the Aztec canals in the city's south, past floating gardens, with mariachi boats and food vendors pulling alongside. A joyous, boozy, only-here fiesta on the water, especially with a group; go on a weekend for the full party.
• 11.Coyoacán plaza & market — The cobbled colonial heart of Coyoacán — twin leafy plazas with a fountain and a church, weekend craft stalls, mariachis, and a wonderful covered market where you eat tostadas piled high and drink fresh aguas frescas. The city's most charming, village-like afternoon; pair it with the Frida house nearby.
