Roma
Ways to visit Roma
Take in the sights and sounds of Roma on a walking tour of the neighborhood’s top attractions, from street food stalls to street art hotspots and under-the-radar art galleries—both private and small group options are typically available. Local led tours are also great ways to see beyond the typical tourist favorites in this popular part of the city. Alternatively, explore independently with hop-on hop-off bus services or by bike.

When to visit Roma
Roma has plenty to offer both daytime and nighttime crowds. Arrive in the day for street art tours, museum visits, and shopping at the numerous boutiques in the neighborhood.

Other Top Mexico City Neighborhoods
While Roma is perhaps one of the best-known and best-loved Mexico City neighborhoods, Condesa to the west is a quieter but just as enticing alternative for those with bigger budgets. Juárez to the north is a cooler, more residential neighborhood with just as many coffee shops and cafés. Meanwhile, the historic center is a hub of centuries-old buildings and museums.
