RECOMMENDATIONS – MEXICO CITY

The location of Instituto Médico del Prado in Mexico City is exceptional. It is situated in the Anzures neighborhood, within the Miguel Hidalgo borough, between Polanco and Paseo de la Reforma, two of the most important areas of the capital for both tourism and business.

The Anzures neighborhood can be described as a quiet area with tree-lined streets, modern office buildings, and excellent restaurants and cafés. In addition, it offers good connections by both private and public transportation, including direct access to areas such as Las Lomas, Reforma, and Polanco.

Very close to the clinic, there is a diverse and solid hotel offering. We have prepared a selection of the hotels most recommended by our patients, from which we have received consistently positive and reliable feedback.

Mexico City is one of the most vibrant gastronomic capitals in the world, where traditional street food and contemporary haute cuisine coexist naturally. Its streets offer everything from street stalls selling antojitos—such as tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and tamales—which are an essential part of the local culinary identity, to markets like Mercado Roma, which bring together modern concepts and flavors from different regions in a single space. This diversity makes dining in the city both a cultural and gastronomic experience.

In addition to street stalls and markets, the city boasts an impressive selection of internationally recognized restaurants. But the city’s gastronomy is not limited to Mexican cuisine alone. Neighborhoods such as La Condesa and Roma offer a wide variety of international restaurants and fusion concepts. This blend of tradition and modernity, street food and fine dining, makes Mexico City an unmissable destination for food lovers.

Rich in history and culture, Mexico City offers a wide variety of activities to enjoy during your visit. You can start by exploring the historical heart of the city at the Zócalo, where the majestic Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace will transport you to past eras. Don’t miss the Templo Mayor, an Aztec archaeological site discovered in the heart of the metropolis.

Take some time to stroll through the charming neighborhood of Coyoacán, home to the famous Blue House, where Frida Kahlo lived and created some of her most iconic works. Immerse yourself in the city’s rich artistic and cultural scene by exploring the museums of Bellas Artes and Soumaya, which house impressive collections of Mexican and international art. Don’t forget to taste authentic Mexican cuisine at vibrant markets like the Mercado de la Merced, where flavors and colors will envelop you in a unique culinary experience.

Visiting the trendy Roma neighborhood, full of bars, restaurants, and boutiques, will be another attraction. And for night owls, experiencing the nightlife in Zona Rosa or enjoying a panoramic view of the city from the viewpoint of the Angel of Independence is a must. Mexico City, with its blend of tradition and modernity, offers an unforgettable experience full of diversity and color.

Near our clinic, you can get lost in an endless stroll through Chapultepec Forest, where you can visit its Castle, the Zoo, the Museum of Modern Art, or the Tamayo Museum of Contemporary Art. You also shouldn’t miss Avenida Presidente Masaryk or Paseo de la Reforma, two of the city’s most important and well-known avenues.

Another tourist attraction is the Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe, the most important Catholic church in Mexico. If we talk about tradition and want to listen to the music of mariachis, you should visit Garibaldi Square or take a stroll along the canals of Xochimilco, a vast system for transporting water built by the Aztecs.

Leaving the city, about 50 minutes from Mexico City, you must visit the pyramids of Teotihuacán. It is one of the great archaeological complexes in Mexico, where you can explore these constructions that date back over 1,000 years.
