Tip

Purchase your tickets in advance (online) as the lines can get very long!

A visit to the Casa Azul on weekdays is recommended, it is extremely crowded on weekends

Visit the nearby Mercado de Coyoacán – lots of traditional food, art and crafts

Visit the Museo Casa de Leon Trotsky, Rio Churubusco 410, Coyoacán, Del Carmen, just a few blocks from the Casa Azul. Trotsky was closely connected to Diego and had a short-lived romantic relationship with Frida
