Roma Norte is a charming neighborhood full of incredible restaurants and bars, interesting buildings in the Belle Époque, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco architectural styles, and tiny stores and shops selling vintage items, clothing, Mexican handicrafts, art, and more.

The neighborhood’s pretty, leafy streets are ideal for walking. Be sure to look at the doorways and entryways, windows, courtyards, and more. There are little details everywhere.

You could easily wander the streets on your own and explore the shops and sights that appeal to you along with way. If you’d prefer to have a plan, follow our walk.

This walk goes east from the El Palacio de Hierro Durango department store through the heart of Roma and up into two tiny but special spaces, Plaza de Romita and Plaza Morelia. But as with any other walk, you can go in either direction.
