Less crowded day to go to downtown is Sunday. Centro area is HUGE, Go early and be prepared to walk a lot.
You can start from Alameda Central, then Palacio de Bellas Artes -> Palacio Postal ->Munal->Sanborns de los azulejos ->facade then walk straight trough Madero Av. If you want to take a Mexican breakfast you can go to café Tacuba. Then walk straight to zocalo and get in to catedral or museums around, go back to have a refresher in to downtown Hotel rooftop or Azul histórico to grab lunch or dinner. There are also a lot of boutique hotels with rooftops for drinks or snacks. Or you can also skip rooftops and go to eat there, there are a lot of antique places to eat. “lugar sin nombre” is next to Bósforo bar, next door to the right, they have prehispanic food and best hand made tortillas ever. You can have some mezcales in Bósforo bar after, with their big selection of mezcales produced in little towns around the country, if you are lucky you will meet the owner playing 70’s phsycodelic music taken from vinilos.
If you like live music like salsa and cumbia, keep on scrolling the check the nightlife section in this guide.
