We would love nothing more than for our wedding to be your excuse to eat / explore your way through the best capital city in the Americas! We can’t wait to celebrate with you, and would love to see you throughout the weekend! Below you’ll find below our favorite eats and activities in the City. We would be happy to make other recommendations as well.

Our favorite spots have been added to a Google Maps List where you can see all our suggestions in one place, save it to your phone for off-data access, and save what you tried and enjoyed.

Travel Tips

• Due to old pipes in the City, water is not drinkable – we suggest you drink bottled water. To reduce the risk of stomach issues, you may choose to eat primarily fruit/vegetables that can be peeled, eat street food at places that are highly trafficked
• México City has a lot of historic trees and uneven streets and is a walking city; you should consider bringing sneakers
• Like any major city, to manage traffic and maximize your experience consider clustering your activities within neighborhoods
• Our favorite neighborhoods (Condesa, Roma Norte / Sur, Polanco, Cuauhtémoc, Coyoacán) we find to be safe and enjoyable. Like any major city, be aware and don’t carry valuables if you don’t need to
• Not all phone plans will work, you should consider arranging for a data plan through own carrier or through eSIM (for the latter, going rate is $5/GB which is usually good for a short trip)
• We suggest you download Uber (our preferred mode of transport) and Google Translate before arriving
