Easy Access and Flexible Timing

One of the major pluses of this tour is the skip-the-line benefit. If you’ve ever tried to visit popular museums in Mexico City, you’ll appreciate how much time this saves. Instead of waiting in long queues, you can arrive at your scheduled time, check in with minimal fuss, and head straight inside. The tour lasts about one hour, but how long you spend exploring is entirely up to you, thanks to the digital guide.

The digital guide is a thoughtful touch. Instead of lugging around a paper booklet or listening to a loud audio guide, you get detailed stories, fun facts, and context through your smartphone or device. This allows for a more personal experience—pause, revisit, or skip sections as you wish.

The Museums: Casa Azul vs. Casa Roja

The original choice is visiting Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo’s beloved home turned museum. Stepping inside, you’re immediately immersed in her personal world—her vibrant rooms filled with her belongings, photographs, and self-portraits. You get a real sense of her personality, her passions, and her struggles.

If you choose the Casa Roja, you’ll find a modern, curated space focusing on Kahlo’s family history and personal origins. It’s a newer museum, opened to the public recently, and offers a different perspective—more intimate, focusing on her childhood, relationships, and early influences. Curated exhibitions, multimedia displays, and personal objects help paint a fuller picture of the artist’s background without the crowds of her more famous home.

The Gardens and Studios

At Casa Azul, the gardens are a highlight. They served as a source of inspiration for Kahlo’s art, and wandering through them gives you a peaceful break from the indoor rooms. You’ll see her studio, where her creative process happened, and can imagine her working amidst the plants and sunlight. The rooms are often filled with her personal items—clothing, jewelry, and artifacts—that add depth to her story.

The Anahuacalli Museum

Included with your ticket is access to Diego Rivera’s collection of pre-Hispanic art at the Anahuacalli Museum. This site offers a broader cultural context, revealing Kahlo and Rivera’s passion for indigenous Mexican traditions. We loved how the architecture itself is inspired by pre-Hispanic styles, blending art, history, and architecture in a fascinating way.
