A Sweet Escape: 48 Hours in Mexico City

A Sweet Escape: 48 Hours in Mexico City


Vibrant, artistic, and full of flavor—Mexico City is the kind of place that lingers in your heart long after your suitcase is unpacked. From colonial streets to rooftop cocktails, here’s how to make the most of 48 hours in the capital with a Casa Dolce twist.

🌇 Day 1: History Meets Style

Start your morning in Coyoacán, sipping coffee near Frida Kahlo’s iconic blue house. The neighborhood’s cobblestone streets, colorful facades, and artisan markets offer a cozy charm that feels like a movie set.

Don’t miss:

Frida Kahlo Museum (buy tickets in advance!)

A churro & hot chocolate stop at El Moro

Lunch at Los Danzantes, with views of the square and creative Oaxacan-inspired dishes

End the day in Roma Norte—Mexico City’s artsy heart. Think vintage bookstores, design-forward cafes, and that effortlessly cool energy. Dine at Rosetta (reserve early!), one of Latin America’s best restaurants, set inside a dreamy old mansion.

🍅 Day 2: Flavors & Skylines

Spend your second day tasting your way through La Merced or San Juan Market with a local food guide. You’ll try everything from exotic fruit to handmade tortillas and smoky mole.

In the afternoon, head to Chapultepec Castle for panoramic views of the city and a stroll through leafy parks that feel far from the urban buzz.

Toast the sunset at a rooftop bar—Toledo Rooftop or Cityzen CDMX are favorites. With views of the skyline and the iconic Latin America Tower, it’s the perfect place to savor a cocktail and slow down.


Casa Dolce Travel Tip:

Mexico City is best explored slowly—walk when you can, look up, and let your senses lead the way. We recommend lightweight linens, a camera, and space in your bag for artisan ceramics and handmade textiles.
