Nicknamed the Blue House, this residence in the Coyoacán neighborhood, one of the oldest and most beautiful neighborhoods in Mexico City, was the home and studio of the artist Frida Kahlo and her husband, the muralist Diego Rivera. This museum shows us the original spaces where the couple lives together as well as their personal objects, as well as some paintings by Frida and her beautiful dresses, which were lost for years, hidden behind the walls of this house.
Living a vibrant Mexican wrestling show is without a doubt one of the best activities you can experience in Mexico City. A show that not only takes place in the ring, but also in its stands, thanks to the passion of Mexicans for this sport, which mixes theatrical sequences with gymnastics, humor and action. An example of this passion is that in Mexico City there is a fight show practically every day, and on weekends always a full stadium!
This great museum is dedicated to exhibiting and preserving the archaeological legacy of the peoples of Mesoamerica, as well as to account for the current ethnic diversity of current Mexico.

Also inside the tower itself you can visit two historical museums and even a cafeteria.
Located in the southeast of the Mexican capital, this neighborhood is famous for its delta, full of islands and canals, where its decorated trajineras (rowing boats with a large table in the center) navigate, among mariachi songs, entire families picnicking and floating typical food stalls. All this is a zone of cultivation farms that supplies the city, in addition to an ecological park dedicated to conserving the biodiversity of the Mexican capital.
