Large sign for the Coyoacan neighborhood in Mexico City

🐺Coyoacán is a large area in Mexico City, but it’s also very walkable, with beautiful older homes and mansions, lots of trees and parks, and a quiet vibe, at least outside of the main tourist areas.

The first half of this walk gives you a nice feel for the neighborhood, while the second half leans more on entertainment and food and is the Coyoacán that most visitors experience.

This is an excerpt from our downloadable book, Eternal Spring: Our Guide to Mexico City, which is designed to work seamlessly on your phone, e-reader, tablet, or computer. Use it to plan your itinerary, and refer to it any time you need to when you’re in Mexico City.
