Best Neighborhoods for Nomads
Roma Norte
CDMX's most desirable neighborhood — tree-lined streets, Art Deco buildings, incredible restaurants on every corner. Where most digital nomads land. Hip coffee shops and coworking spaces abound.
Condesa
Adjacent to Roma and equally charming — leafy Parque México, upscale dining, Art Nouveau architecture. Slightly pricier and quieter than Roma. Beautiful for walks.
Polanco
Mexico City's most upscale area — designer shopping (Presidente Masaryk = 'Mexican Champs-Élysées'), world-class museums (Soumaya, Anthropology), fine dining.
