The Roma / Condesa Corridor

The Roma/Condesa corridor is one of the most vibrant parts of Mexico City right now. It's packed with great food, and a huge number of studios, design stores, and other exciting creative spaces. In this part of the experience, your hosts will take you through this part of the city informed by their deep knowledge of the area's art and design scene. You’ll walk through streets where restored Art Deco buildings sit beside modernist studios, where concept shops blur the line between art and commerce, and where galleries are as likely to be hidden behind unmarked doors as they are to be featured in international design publications. This is a neighborhood where aesthetics and everyday life merge—and where the contemporary creative scene is unfolding in real time.

While this is a popular neighborhood for locals and visitors alike, not everyone who visits knows where its best artistic secrets lie. Your hosts have numerous connections in the neighborhood and will not only make sure you get to see the best of what the area has to offer, but will also be able to grant you exclusive access to studios and workshops when possible, depending on availability. These spaces are often closed to the public—private ateliers, workspaces, and emerging galleries where artists and designers share what they’re working on now. Whether it’s a spontaneous studio visit or a conversation with a gallerist preparing their next show, the access here is personal, real, and shaped by the host’s relationships. This part of the experience feels less like a tour—and more like being let into an ongoing creative dialogue.
