Welcome to Mexico City, a vibrant metropolis bursting with history, art, and culinary treasures waiting to be discovered. From a majestic castle to a hidden mezcal bar, this city offers a feast for the senses that would make any traveler’s heart skip a beat.
Let’s start our journey at the iconic Castillo de Chapultepec, perched atop a hill overlooking the city. This historic castle, once home to Mexico’s emperors and presidents, offers breathtaking views of Mexico City, a window into the life of their former occupants and is surrounded by the lush greenery of Lago de Chapultepec. Take a leisurely stroll around the lake, rent a rowboat, or simply relax amidst the tranquil beauty of this urban oasis.
For art enthusiasts, the nearby-standing Museo de Arte Moderno and Museo Rufino Tamayo are both must-visit destinations. Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors and avant-garde creations of Mexico’s most celebrated artists, from Diego Rivera to Frida Kahlo. These museums showcase the rich cultural heritage and artistic innovation that define Mexico City’s dynamic art scene.
After exploring the cultural treasures of Chapultepec, venture into the trendy neighborhoods of Condesa and Roma. Parque España and Parque México beckon with their leafy promenades, charming cafes, and lively street performers. Join locals for a leisurely picnic or sip on a freshly brewed coffee while soaking in the bohemian ambiance of these green spaces.
When it comes to dining, Mexico City offers a culinary landscape as diverse as its people. For a taste of world-class steak, walk no further than a few blocks from the ASRA stay to find Prime Steak Club Reforma. Indulge in succulent cuts of prime beef, exquisite wines and trendy cocktails in an elegant setting overlooking the bustling streets of Reforma.

Nestled in the heart of Mexico City’s historic center, this hidden gem offers an extensive selection of artisanal mezcal paired with innovative small plates that celebrate the intricate flavors of Oaxaca in a unique setting, heavily inspired by Mictlán, the Aztec underworld.
