Colonial Elegance & Artistic Heritage

Visit Mexico City Editorial Guide

Step into an idyllic colonial time capsule in southern Mexico City. San Ángel enchants visitors with its bougainvillea-draped stone walls, narrow cobblestone alleyways, and grand historic haciendas that have preserved an authentic village atmosphere for centuries.

On Saturdays, Plaza San Jacinto comes alive with the world-famous El Bazar Sábado, where renowned Mexican artisans, silversmiths, and painters exhibit fine crafts. Nearby, marvel at the Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo, designed by functionalist architect Juan O’Gorman, and wander into tranquil Chimalistac to cross ancient 17th-century stone footbridges.
