Where to stay

Landmarks and markets at your door. Busy by day; check your street and evening arrival.

Cafés, galleries and food on leafy streets. A useful base; some blocks are lively at night.

Parks, Art Deco streets and cafés. Good for short walks; allow traffic time to museums.

Polished hotels, dining and shops. Close to Chapultepec; expect higher room rates.

Village squares and Casa Azul nearby. Relaxed pace; central sights need a longer ride.

Central hotels and transport links. Handy for city days; main roads are busy.

Cobbled lanes, art and quiet squares. A southern base; allow longer central transfers.
