Mexico City solo travel vlog: how to spend 5 days in CDMX

- 3 full days in Mexico City aka CDMX was NOT enough! The vibrant capital of Mexico has beautiful architecture and museums, Aztec ruins in the center of the city, and delicious food from street tacos to World's Best voted bars & restaurants. As a female solo traveller, I felt safe staying in an airbnb in Roma Norte neighborhood, only drinking bottled water, venturing out in a group via airbnb experiences, taking ubers, and avoiding walking around at night by myself. Is Mexico City on your travel bucket list?! It should be!!!
other recommendations:
-Polanco is the boujee upscale neighborhood with 5 star hotels, luxury stores, and Pujol (in top 15 best restaurants of the world)
-museo nacional de antropologia, museo de arte popular, Diego Rivera Mural museum, Biblioteca Vasconcelos
-day trips to Teotihuacan hot air balloon ride, Tolantongo thermal pools, and Xochimilco boat tour
-add on a couple days in San Miguel del Allende or Oaxaca
let me know if I missed anything or where I should check out next time I visit CDMX!

Thank you for visiting our country and city we REALLY appreciate it 👍👍🙂 my home is your home you are welcome
Love the video, u definitely enjoyed your couple of days there. I will be there in September where do you recommend on staying? Going with my kids and husband
I would definitely stay in an airbnb so you can get a bigger space with multiple bedrooms for a better price. pick which neighborhood matches your vibe best and look for an airbnb in that area: Polanco is the boujee area with designer shops and hotels, Roma Norte (my favorite) has all the best food and boutiques in walking distance , Condesa is more quiet, romantic, and in the middle of everything, Centro is where all the attractions like museums, ruins, historical sites. For a family, i would definitely recommend staying in La Condesa or Roma Norte.
thanks for your insight!! regarding coyocan, i know you mentioned plaza de santa catarina but are there any other specific parts of the area we should check out?
It was a bike tour i booked thru airbnb experience so i had a guide who gave everyone bicycles and we followed him around! Across that plaza was a cute little cove where a restaurant named aurelia was and thats where i saw the coyote statues, the frida kahlo museum, mercado n 89, jardin centenario, parque allende,plaza hidalgo, plaza de la conchita.. these are the exact names of the stops we made!!
What hotel do you recommend? I’ll be traveling alone august .
Casa Wynwood Roma Norte, NaNa Vida CDMX, Circulo Mexicano, Zocalo Central & rooftop Mexico City, Historico Central Hotel are all hotels that I have seen on Booking.com and saved as my favorites that all look really nice. I think you can find more affordable airbnbs tho in my opinion.
Hi! Do you need a reservation for Contramar? Thank you.
Absolutely need a reservation at Contramar! The first day i got to mexico city, i walked by to try to get in and they were all full but had something available in a couple days when they first open. So they wrote my name down and i was able to go my last day of my trip at 11am lol. I heard They have a sister restaurant nearby that’s easier to get into tho
Did you need tickets to walk through those ruins in the middle of the city?
If you wanted to walk through them then you would need tickets, but it was free to observe from the outside.
hi! im traveling to cdmx next month :) would you say that casa azul is worth it?
The inside not so much unless you are a big Frida or art fan. but the neighborhood its in is STUNNING so i would definitely go to the area Coyoacan but if you’re on a budget or short on time you can skip the actual museum. I did not know much about frida but I did love learning about her life.
Hey Girl
Maybe i missed this ,Was you alone on this trip? I am going there on my own
Yes i was solo! I made friends on my tour i went on thru airbnb experience but i didnt know anyone there! I recommend stayed in Roma Norte or condesa youre solo! Felt the safest in those neighborhoods, but i still avoided walking alone at night. Ubers were so cheap so i just ubered at night!
@@edenswilliams Ahhh its really lovely to watch a video with someone who is doing a solo trip. It's reassuring i guess ☺. I am staying in Roma Norte . I'm so excited and your video has really made me even more xx
I just got back yesterday from Mexico City. Went by myself. It was an amazing trip and I felt very safe and welcome the whole time.
@@Mycescos ahhh love to hear that! How nice! Makes me so excited!!!
@@aminablue4091 you will be fine. I was overwhelmed with worries before my trip and I asked everyone for assurance lol. You will have an amazing time. So many things to do. And I met so many solo travelers like myself.

What transportation did you used?
I used Uber everywhere, besides the tours i booked where transportation was included like i rode the metro in one tour, rode bikes in another, or walked with the guide.
Do visitors still wear masks out in public?
No, I didn’t see many people with face masks on!
You have done a great job. I like your video and music. Only one recommendation, more about the city and less showing your face.
How rude 😮
She showed so many aspects of the city. I loved seeing her expressions. What are you on about? Go away…
