Here are a collection of views on the many wonderous walks I took traversing the sidewalks of Mexico City. El Parián in Roma Norte above.
Polanco neighborhood. Aúna Café and next door the cycling shop The Service Course México both worth the stop. “You’re not lost, you’re here.”
Wandering around the blocks of Reforma and San Rafael from Sofitel Reforma to Cotraloría Interna en la Secretaria de Desarolló Social and noting places for next time like Mariane Ibrahim.
A walk from Biblioteca Vasconcelos to the Museo Memoria y Tolerancia discovering Cuarzo Reforma from a distance and Conjunto Plaza Juárez.
This one spotted near Biblioteca Vasconcelos.
Address: Torre Insignia, Tlatelolco, Cuauhtémoc, 06900 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

Arquine was quite the discovery this trip and their Mexico City Architecture Guide is a wealth of future trips back to Mexico City already stirring in my mind, but mostly in my heart. I could imagine an architecture lover’s first trip to Tokyo or Paris… where one is overcome with the extent of beauty, thoughtfulness and courage all in one place. This is how I feel about Mexico City. We all need shelter- what we decide to dedicate ourselves to is always a wonder. Let us all continue to wonder (and wander) more.
