    Museo Rufino Tamayo

    Enter the Museo Rufino Tamayo. Arrive right at opening to beat the crowds and enjoy the pre-Hispanic and modern art collections in peace. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00.

    Ling Ling

    Take the short walk to Ling Ling on the 56th floor. This is the perfect spot for lunch or an early dinner. The Asian cuisine and creative drinks are excellent, and you will have breathtaking views of the Mexico City skyline. Reservations are a must, so book ahead.

  3. 12:30

    Cafe Jekemir

    Head to Cafe Jekemir for a final stop. It is a casual coffee shop with an emphasis on espresso and laid-back vibes, a nice contrast to the more polished spots in the area. It is open weekdays until 21:00 and Saturdays until 17:00.

Ling Ling is in a skyscraper, so check the route for the elevator access if you have heavy bags. Cafe Jekemir is closed on Sundays, so plan this stop for a weekday or Saturday if that is your preferred end.
