Roma & Condesa, Mexico City

Sights


As Mexico City expanded westwards in the early 20th century, the residential enclaves of Roma, Condesa and Polanco became home to the city’s affluent middle classes.

Here we cover a broad range of residential districts in Mexico City’s prosperous west side, of which Roma, Condesa and Polanco are the best-known.

These districts are centered on Chapultepec Park, a vast and tranquil urban park that, as well as offering a retreat to nature, has played a stately role in Mexico’s history and is home to some of the country’s most prestigious museums.

The grand Chapultepec Castle was the site of the Battle of Chapultepec and a palatial home for Mexico’s leaders. Just outside of the park gates, the National Museum of Anthropology offers a remarkable tour of Mexico’s indigenous cultures with a world-renowned collection of pre-Columbian artifacts.

The hipster Roma and Condesa neighborhoods are a foodie’s paradise with some of the city’s best restaurants and mezcalerias. To the north of Chapultepec, Polanco is an ultra-wealthy enclave known for fine-dining, boutique hotels and luxury shopping.
