The short list
What Appricio would tell you to do in Mexico City
Colonia Doctores
Arena México
The original home of Lucha Libre — masked wrestlers, theatrical aerial fights, packed local crowds on Friday nights; arrive early enough to absorb the pre-show chaos.
Xochimilco
Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas Xochimilco
Hire a trajinera on the ancient Aztec canal network on a Sunday — families, mariachis on passing boats, and market vendors floating by; this is where the city comes to exhale.
Park · Mexico City
Bosque de Chapultepec
Start at the second section, away from the weekend crowds, and walk toward the lake — rent a rowboat, buy an elote from a cart, watch the city exhale.
Bar · Roma Norte
Bar Mauro
A 1970s Milan-in-Mexico aperitivo bar opened late 2024 by two brothers paying tribute to their grandfather — already #14 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2025 and hard to walk into on a Saturday night.
Shop · Centro Histórico
LIBRERÍA EL GRAN REMATE
A century-old secondhand bookshop on the legendary Donceles book street, surviving inside a colonial building — one of the last places in the city to reliably find out-of-print and rare titles.
