Mexico City is home to some of the best street art in the world. If you’re looking to visit a bustling city with tons of creative and entrepreneurial energy, Mexico City is the place to be.
In this blog post, I’ll explore the street art scene of Mexico City, through my own photography from my visit in February 2023. All my travels are centered around art & food, so the snaps will be on point.
I’ll provide some tips as to where to find the best street art, and what to expect when encountering it. Whether you’re a seasoned street art aficionado or a first-timer, read on for everything you need to know about experiencing the incredible street art of Mexico City.
The neighborhood of La Roma is also home to some amazing street art, as well as a number of great coffee shops and restaurants. This is where we set up for the week in a lovely AirBnB with a rooftop deck. If you start your walk near Roma Norte, you can meander through neighborhood blocks then head up one of the main avenues (Insurgentes and Paseo de la Reforma) toward the historic center.
There is no shortage of incredible street art in Mexico City, with murals, mosaics, stickers and graffiti adorning walls throughout the city. The best place to start exploring is in the historic center, where you’ll find a concentration of street art around every corner. While you’re there, visit El Museo National de la Estampa, where you can pop in to view some incredible prints made with various techniques, and then enjoy a brief workshop and make your very own linocut.
Despite being a massive sprawling metropolis, you can mostly stay in a central area in the colonias of Roma Norte, Hipodromo, and La Condesa.
Mexico City’s street art scene includes everything from traditional murals to colorful graffiti tags. You’ll also find a number of interesting installations and sculptures scattered throughout the city. Much of the street art in Mexico City has a political or social message, making it all the more powerful and thought-provoking.
