There are so many Frida Kahlo (and Diego Rivera!) sites to visit and see in and around Mexico City that it can be a bit dizzying. I've put together a list of the top ones to check out, including a bonus spot outside of Mexico City in Rivera's hometown of Guanajuato. Begin your sightseeing tour at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in the Zocalo where you can see Frida's first self-portrait from when she was only 19-years-old. If you only have time for one stop, or only wish to visit one museum, then make it Museo Frida Kahlo also known as Casa Azul. Located in Coyoacán, this is Frida's childhood home where she lived a lot of her life and also died. You'll find many of her personal belongings like art supplies, furniture, and clothing as well as some of her art. It's a very busy site so make sure to buy your tickets online in advance to avoid waiting in a really long line! Just around the corner is the Trotsky Museum which feels very raw. Frida and Trotsky had an affair when he and his wife lived at Casa Azul. You can see bullet holes in the bedroom wall from an assassination attempt as well as the study where he was ultimately killed with an icepick to the skull. Another site is Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo located in San Ángel. These modern and distinct structures were built by architect Juan O'Gorman and occupied by the couple from 1934. Diego lived here until his death. I also really enjoyed visiting Museo Dolores Olmedo in Xochimilco, even though all of Frida's artwork was on tour abroad at an exhibition. Dolores Olmedo was a patron of the arts, notably of Diego Rivera's, and she donated her large collection to the people of Mexico. The museum is her old home, a sixteenth century hacienda. I especially loved seeing the many peacocks on the grounds and the unique breed of hairless dogs that live there called Xoloitzcuintli (or Xolo for short). The next museum wouldn't exist without the generosity of Dolores Olmedo: the Anahuacalli Museum. Frida and Diego were passionate about ancient Mexico and preserving that history for future generations. This museum has over fifty thousand pre-Columbian artifacts housed in a pyramid-like structure made of volcanic rock. The last site is a bonus because it's located in Guanajuato (an easy bus ride from Mexico City): Museo y Casa Diego Rivera. This is where Rivera was born and lived until he was six when his family moved to Mexico City. You can see a lot of his early artwork here as well as a painting of Frida Kahlo.

¡Muchas gracias! ¡Saludos para ti! 💕😘
Thank you for the great info . I never liked fridas painting until I learned about her. I now understand and appreciate her work. Even now so much because I suffer from many injuries had have chronic pain. I have had many surgeries but the pain is always with me . I will be going to Mexico next year and want to visit the places you mentioned. The older I get the closer I get to my Mexican roots . Muchas gracias .
I'm very sorry to hear of your chronic pain. You can relate to Frida in a way many people cannot. I'm sure you will love your trip to Mexico City. The Frida sites are very special. We've made many other videos about visiting Mexico City if you'd like to see more by the way - they're here: bit.ly/CDMXPlaylist Hope you have a wonderful time. I'd love to hear what you think of Frida's spots. :)
I really like your videos. Thank you so much. :)
Mexico has so much to offer! Love your energy and passion for life and adventure! I don't know if I can make it through another video without buying a plane ticket to CDMX! haha
Hey Alex! This is such an amazing reaction and makes me so happy haha! Have you bought a ticket to CDMX yet? ;) It's such an awesome place. Hope you're also enjoying the Colombia videos!
Welcome to Mexico City, I like your videos! saludos.
Thanks for watching and I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
Unbelievable that Frida is more famous abroad than in Mexico, another great video about Mexico and its idiosyncracies, THANK YOU:)
Thank you! Do you think she's more famous abroad? I saw so many things with her face, art, and name on them in Mexico. I think she's iconic everywhere! ;)
I look forward to more videos.Keep it up!
Thank you!
¡Hola! Thanks for sharing your videos. Beautiful job.
Hola Xavier! Thank you so much :)

Such an awesome video.
Thanks! :)
You're welcome.
I'm new to your channel, your detail of facts, pictures, video footage it wonderful. I was able to see Frida, Diego exhibit a few years ago at DIA. I took my daughter it was the best day ever.
Hello! I'm so glad you found my channel! Welcome :) That sounds like an amazing outing with your daughter. I'd love to take my Mom to Frida's house in Mexico City someday.
hi, really enjoying your channel... very informative .. i've learned so much.
Hello! Thanks so much! I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos :)
interesting video. so many museums in one place.
Thanks Alex! So many. I think I read somewhere that Mexico City has the most museums in the world? Unconfirmed but I could believe it!
Thanks for an attractive and informative video. We made it to Casa Azul and Palacio de Bellas Artes - wish we had been to San Angel and Xochimilco. Next time!
Hi! Sorry for delay in writing here! Thank you and happy to hear you liked the video! Did you also enjoy Casa Azul? There's so much to see in CDMX it's a bit overwhelming. Lots to go back for indeed ;)
Thanks first off when you went to see Frida work and said it out on display I believe it was here in Phoenix Arizona where I live to bad I miss it too I still disappointed I didn't see it yet thank you for all the movies you make.
Thank you! So glad to know you're enjoying our videos - I'm sorry you missed seeing the Frida painting while she was nearby.
Hola, gracias por compartirlo, saludos
Hola Francisco! Muchas gracias por ver y comentar! :)
Thanks. Very informative
Thanks! Glad you thought so :)
I LOVE HER! Im hoping to see some of her work while im there...
Me too! I hope you'll have time to visit Casa Azul then. It's full of treasures :) Buy your tickets online ahead to save time waiting in line! Viva la vida!
I want to say your best video yet, but then I recall your other videos and they are all great. I have been to Casa Azul but did not make it to Trotsky's house. Still on my to do list for CDMX, along with a few other museums. In another video I asked you to make a video on the Trotsky museum and you have delivered!! Thank you very much! Another museum worth visiting, although somber, is the Museo Memoria y Tolerancia - a sort of genocide museum. Perhaps you walked by it on the way to your coffee overlooking Bellas Artes. Again, many thanks for the great content.
Hey Raul! Sorry for the delay in writing here! Thank you so much for those amazing compliments! It makes me so happy to know you're enjoying the videos and I really appreciate your feedback :) YES, I wanted to feature the Trotsky Museum and hope this was helpful for you in perhaps planning a trip there! There were so many things in CDMX I didn't have time to see. I need to go back ;) Hope you're enjoying the Colombia videos too!
Great video
Hey Miguel! Thanks :)
Thanks for your informative video.
Thanks, Ali! Glad you enjoyed it!
great videos !!!
Thanks Saul :)
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. The Frida paints in Bellas Artes were part of a temporal exposition "Pinta la Revolución" that ended the past May 07th, 2017.
Hey Victor! I didn't realize - thanks for sharing that. I feel even luckier that I got to see it then!
@@EileenAldis Yes. I went there too, and no Frida exhibit. You were very lucky. They have other exhibits on rotation.
dude, this is cool
I'm glad that you are loving Mexico City! I hope that you also get to visit Morelia, Puebla, Oaxaca, Campeche, Zacatecas, Queretaro, Tlalcoltalpan, San Luis Potosí, Sab Miguel de Allende, etc. Mexico is more than happy to have you! Also, don't forget to check out the National Museum of Art in Mexico City. Also the Museum of Medicine (palace of the inquisition) is rarely frequented in travel vlogs. That might be interesting to see. Also the National Palace and the palace of autonomy, and the mine palace are over looked. :D Keep up the great videos!
Hey Patroklos! Sorry for delay in writing here! Thanks so much for the recommendations! I did visit San Miguel de Allende and other places around Mexico :) Here is the whole Mexico playlist if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/imgQMeKIcGo/видео.html I also loved visiting the National Palace in CDMX (which is in the 'What To Do In Mexico City' video). Hope you're also enjoying the Colombia videos now! :)
Thank you so much! I'm excited to check out your other vlogs! They're well-informed, and constructed! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome experience with us!
Eileen U are wonderful with all the video i have watched every day.......Namaste
Thanks so much, Josanne!
bienvenida a México muy lindos videos saludos.
Hola Uri! Muchas gracias por ver y comentar :)
In love of your videos I will be in DF in august so this information is very important for me; Thanks !
Hey Rubert! Sorry I just saw this! That's amazing you're visiting Mexico City in August. I hope you have an amazing time! If you're interested, I have a whole playlist of my trip to CDMX that you can see. Hope it's helpful! ruclips.net/video/fSRHA_QyA9g/видео.html
I already seen it :)
Yay! That's awesome! I hope it's useful in planning your trip :)
It was!
This is great. The movie is great.
Thank you, Sabrina!
I loooove your videos
Thanks so much, Aaron! That's so awesome to hear!
Great video as usual, your love for all things Frida is contagious! I have only visited Casa Azul once. Have you watched the movie Frida with Salma Hayek?
Hey Melissa! Sorry for delay in writing here! Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it! Frida is such an inspiring and formidable icon. I have seen the movie with Salma Hayek and I watched it again while in Mexico as a refresher :) Did you enjoy your visit to Casa Azul?
Eileen Aldis
She was one interesting Woman , so full of life such a brilliant and beautiful woman...R.l.P. Fredia 😇🦋💔🦋🥰
Hey Dorothy! A fascinating person and artist - that's for sure ❤️
Hello Eilleen, I was born in Mexico City (I live in a other country now) and I have been to all of the places you mentioned in your video. I hope you can go back to the Dolores Olmedo Museum. I believe the it has the biggest Frida Khalo collection in the world.
She is everything to me!
Light.....love....pain....
Hope......style.......
Múltiples...glory.....
Política and so much more. I love her in every way. I do not have the same belives az she. But I admire her to the highest extent.
Glory to you
beautiful and most original one of a kind blessed women of my heart and mind.
Freida koloho you are a art self profet.
Dios mucho amor
Frieda y del amor

Y peasce
Thanks for your video. I learnt a lot from it. I'd like to visit Frida's house and the other places related to Frida and Diego and I have heard there is a bus that does travel from one site to the next. But it might be all too much in one day. All the places look very interesting and one would want to give them time.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video :) That's interesting there's a bus tour but I agree with you that it'd be a lot to try to digest all in one day. It's nice to have the time to linger, if possible. We've made other videos about Frida I think you'll enjoy, if you're interested. They're here: bit.ly/fridaplaylist.
Me encantan tus videos... hermosa.....
¡Hola! Muchas gracias! Realmente lo aprecio :)
Interesting...thank you.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Just north of Ensenada, El Sauzal de Rodriguez. If you haven't been here, I highly recommend it. In El Sauzal we have two of the best craft breweries in Baja California. And 15 minutes away is the Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico's version of Napa, only much better. The wines being created there are incredible and they have a plethora of new boutique restaurants with the best Baja Med cuisine that you could experience. Saludos
Wow, that sounds fantastic. I love touring wine regions! Another thing I'd like to come back to explore...! Thanks for the recommendations :)
Beautiful video! I have been very blessed to have been to both Casa Azul & the Studios in San Angel. When I visited about 15 years ago Frida's studio was completely opened up .. she had a similar but much smaller painting space as Diego's.. they also had a huge replica of the two Frida's painting with a mannequin dressed as frida and positioned to look as if she was painting .. she also had huge windows in her studio like Diego's space.. i have seen others photo's and videos of Frida's studio and could not figure out why they have closed this space off.. I am sure it was very disappointing!
Thank you for sharing this! Aren't they incredible to visit?! One of my favourite things we did. We just made a video in Detroit recently and saw one of Diego's most famous murals! It's here if you'd like to see. I'm sure you'd enjoy! bit.ly/detroittop10
remember the sunligth affect the pains
What's the website to purchase the tickets?
Lovely video Eileen! I m a big fan( obsessed would be more accurate 🥰)I went to visit twice casa Azur and having major CDMX and Mexico withdrawals today 💔
Take care
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Hey Sabrina! Thanks! That's so cool and CDMX is definitely the place for Frida fans :) I miss Mexico too. Hope your new year is off to a great start!
@@EileenAldis I L♥️VE Mexico 🇲🇽 one of my favourite country ever …

I love Mexico (أنا أحب المكسيك)
Me too!

Thanks Evaristo! Yes, I'd love to make a visit to Monterrey someday :)
I love México
Same! Do you have a favourite spot in Mexico?
makes me miss the hell out of cmdx
It's very missable! We've made a lot of other videos in CDMX if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/CDMXPlaylist :)
The movie took place in those houses .now I know That hause looks familiar to me
Well done! I liked this video a lot. The music, for me, was slightly distracting ... maybe just turn it down a click or two?

Maybe the reason Frida's space in the Museo Estudio D.R. doesn't really give a sense of her is because she didn't really live there for too long. It's reported that she actually hated that kitchen and the space in general because it was too small and cramped, it clashed with the Casa Azul in its open space and areas, which she loved. So maybe there was really nothing of hers there to begin with...
Hi! That's an interesting point and I hadn't heard that she hated it there. It is certainly much smaller than Casa Azul and wouldn't be as lovely to live in, in my opinion. Diego's space is so great and cool to see with the enormous windows and all his furnishings and tools in there.
Oh yeah I forget to say the display only showed in one city in the states and it was here I should have seen it
Hopefully there'll be another opportunity sometime :)
I was disappointed by Frida's space too at Casa Estudio :(
Hey Heather! I'm glad I wasn't the only one! After seeing Casa Azul I was just so excited that it would contain more magical artifacts and really give a sense of her personality. Diego's space felt much more lived in to me.
Good video but turn the annoying background music off.
NO tiene Subtítulos en español.
