Step into the layered history of Juárez and Roma, two of Mexico City’s most fascinating neighborhoods, on a carefully curated walking tour that blends architecture, everyday life, and contemporary culture.

We begin in Colonia Juárez, a neighborhood that emerged in the late 19th century as one of the city’s most elegant residential areas. As we walk its streets, you’ll discover mansions and former family homes that reflect the aspirations of a modernizing city at the end of the Porfiriato, where European influences met local traditions. Through architecture and urban layout, we’ll explore how Juárez was conceived as a symbol of progress, refinement, and social change.

From there, we move into Colonia Roma, developed in the early 20th century, where the city expanded with new ideas about housing, public space, and lifestyle. Here, architecture becomes a living archive: homes turned into bookstores, galleries, cafés, and studios that reveal how the neighborhood has continually adapted to each generation.

Throughout the walk, we’ll pause to visit independent design shops, fashion studios, bookstores, and local creative projects, while also stopping at a traditional bakery, a local taquería, and a favorite café — spaces that are essential to understanding everyday life in the neighborhood. These tastings and stops offer a delicious way to connect history with daily routines.

Beyond buildings and aesthetics, this tour tells the story of how these neighborhoods have transformed over time — from their origins, through moments of crisis such as the 1985 earthquake, to their rebirth as vibrant cultural and gastronomic hubs. The focus is not only on history, but on how people live, create, and gather here today.

This is an intimate, thoughtful walk through two neighborhoods where past and present coexist — best experienced on foot, through stories, spaces, and flavors you might miss without a local guide.
