This is where everything begins. The open-air courtyard at Casa Azul is surrounded by vivid cobalt walls, volcanic rock paths, and pre-Hispanic sculptures Frida collected. It’s quiet here. And that’s the point. She sat in this very garden with Diego. Some of her original paintings were inspired by this setting. Before you step inside the house, take time to walk the perimeter.
From here, you’ll enter through the ground floor door, straight into her world.
Once inside, you’ll first pass her kitchen and dining space, still filled with hand-painted dishes and family photos. But the heart of the house is the studio. Natural light floods in through large windows. You’ll see her easel, untouched. Her wheelchair sits behind it, just where she left it. Brushes. Paints. Mirrors. This is where she painted through pain, often while lying flat, wearing plaster corsets, looking at her reflection above.
Don't miss the paint-splattered palette on the table. That isn’t a replica
The studio leads you to the bedroom where Frida died. It’s a small, high-ceilinged room, with her four-poster bed still made up. A mirror is fixed to the canopy. That’s how she painted self-portraits while bedridden. Above her bed is a photo of Lenin and Mexican folk decorations — details that show her politics and beliefs were as bold as her art.
There’s also the urn that holds her ashes, placed on a dresser beside pre-Columbian idols. Most visitors miss that.
After passing through the main rooms, step back into the courtyard and enter the second part of the museum. This is where the temporary fashion exhibit is held — a rotating display of her dresses, corsets, accessories, and medical devices.
This section was opened to the public only recently, after being sealed off for decades. It shows the way Frida turned disability into defiance. Her corsets are painted. Her shoes are mismatched and custom-altered. Every outfit is part protest, part artwork.
You’ll also see jewelry, sunglasses, and perfume bottles — small but powerful fragments of how she shaped her image.
Frida shared this home with Diego Rivera, her husband and one of Mexico’s most celebrated muralists. Beside the wardrobe exhibit is a quiet space with Diego Rivera’s sketches, photos, and handwritten letters. It’s small but emotional.
End your visit where she often found calm. At the far end of the garden, you’ll see a stepped pyramid, designed by Rivera, where pre-Columbian sculptures are displayed. Sit here for a moment before you leave. You’ll feel why people call this the soul of Coyoacán.
Tip: There’s no official guided path. But this order makes the most sense if you want to see Frida Kahlo’s original paintings, workspace, and living quarters in a flow that tells her story. Don’t rush — time slots give you just under an hour inside, and every corner deserves attention.
Here’s how to make the most of your time around Casa Azul—whether you want floating gardens, markets, or the perfect lunch spot, Coyoacán is best explored with a little curiosity and a lot of wandering. Most of these stops are already included in the Frida Kahlo Museum tours, so you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Just show up, and everything’s taken care of.
The easiest and safest way to buy Frida Kahlo Museum tickets online. If you’re booking last minute or can’t find a standalone ticket, choose a guided tour that includes museum access. Those are your best bet when everything else shows as sold out. Always double-check the time slot and cancellation policy before you book.
Walk-ins are rarely accepted. Tickets sell out 7–10 days in advance. If you didn’t pre-book, your best option is a guided tour with included entry.
No. Guides aren't allowed inside. You’ll explore on your own. But guided tours cover Frida’s story and Coyoacán before your visit, so everything clicks once you're inside
You might be turned away. Arrive 15 minutes early. If you're on a guided tour, transport is arranged to match your slot.
The museum is closed every Monday. It runs Tuesday through Sunday, from 10am to 6pm, with last entry at 5:30pm. If you're planning around other attractions, try pairing this visit with Xochimilco or a stop at the Coyoacán Market nearby.

Amigo tour was just incredible and our guides: Yair and Leonardo were just amazing! Honestly, they were the ones making a difference on the tour experience. I would totally recommend this tour with them!
The tour guides from Amigo were absolutley incredible. The sites were interesting and fun. The only critizism is that it was a bit confusing to find the meeting point.
Our guide was funny and knowledgeable. The tour was efficient and very fun with our activities. I wish the Xochimilco part was a bit longer but it would be hard to do so. I just wish the instructions on the listing was more detailed since it was a little vague and didn't tell you the order in which we went to the places. Also the meeting up instructions are a little unclear.
Ticketing with Headout was a no hassle experience. It was also well presented in that it gave a very explicit description of the tour, and the meeting areas, etc. The best part of the tours were the guides, and drivers, and transportation. We also did the Teotihuacan tour and that also has the same rating and experience.
The guide Roberto and driver José Luis where awesome, the van was comfortable, the pace was great, the sites beautiful and overall a great value.
