CDMX Winter Trip Itinerary – Would love your feedback + suggestions!

Hi everyone! My family (my brother and I are 23M/23F, parents are active 60s) will be in CDMX in late December for 3.5 days. We’re staying in Roma Norte and we’re big on architecture, interiors, local design/shopping, markets, and just exploring neighborhoods.

I put together an itinerary but would love any feedback — things we should swap around, must-see spots near where we’ll be, overrated places to skip, food recs, etc. All suggestions welcome!

DAY 1 — Coyoacán + Roma/Condesa

Breakfast near the hotel (thinking Panadería Rosetta, Delirio, or Lalo!)

Head to Coyoacán to wander the plaza + market

Frida Kahlo Museum (guided tour)

Lunch at Madre Cocina Mexicana

Back to Roma/Condesa for shopping + exploring (Is La Lagunilla worth it on a weekday or better on Sundays?)

Dinner at Marmota

DAY 2 — Hot Air Balloon + Chapultepec

Early morning hot air balloon experience (breakfast included)

Back to hotel to rest

Visit Jardín Botánico de Chapultepec (anything else nearby worth pairing with this?)

Dinner at Martínez

DAY 3 — Centro Histórico + Food Tour

Diego Rivera Mural Museum (planning ~1 hour)

Street food tour near Palacio de Bellas Artes (11–2:30 PM)

Chill afternoon back in Roma or stroll a nearby neighborhood

Dinner at Máximo

DAY 4 — Departure Day (Flight at 2 PM)

Any ideas for a low-stress activity in the morning? Maybe a cute breakfast spot, quick market, or a short walk somewhere scenic?

Questions for locals or CDMX lovers:

Are any of these restaurants overrated / must-book early?

Best markets or boutiques in or near Roma/Condesa?

Anything we’re missing that fits our interests (design, interiors, chill exploring)?

Should anything be moved around for better logistics?
