Everything! The destinations were all top notch and unique. The tour guides were very personable and knowledgeable. Miga café was a great place to meet and take off from. The entire tour was well organized and well orchestrated. Bus and van were comfortable.

An unforgettable and very cultural experience. An interactive way in which one can learn about Frida's life and her art. Touring the different rooms of the house where she lived is a way to connect with her but above all to understand a little of her and her art.

I came solo and was honestly kinda nervous but ended up having a BLAST. The group was suuuper friendly (shout out to Sam from Germany who shared his elote). Boat ride is chaotic but in a good way—lots of music, colors, and random vendors float by selling drinks. Our guide Allen was a walking encyclopedia. Def worth it if you like a bit of history with your fun.

The tour guide Victoria was excellent. Enjoyed all the aspects of the day but the spread out location of the participant,s hotels made getting home in Mexico city evening traffic a horrid experience.

Went with my girlfriend and her parents. The guide was super attentive, making sure everyone was comfy and hydrated, which my future in-laws appreciated, lol. The trajineras are a wild ride, lots of music and laughter. Frida’s house was BUSY but worth the wait. Our guide gave us some time to explore on our own too.

Such a good time! Went with my mom and we both loved the boat ride—music everywhere. The guide was super helpful and even took pics for us. Frida’s house was busy but worth it.

Why visit the Frida Kahlo Museum

Frida Kahlo Museum kitchen with traditional pottery and utensils on display.

See her life in every corner

With your Frida Kahlo Museum tickets, you step into her world—literally. Her studio still has her easel, untouched. Her wheelchair faces the canvas, with dried paint clinging to the palette. You’ll see her prosthetic leg with the red boot, her orthopedic corsets, and the clothes she wore to reclaim her body and identity.

Every room is personal

Don’t miss Frida's bedroom with the mirror above the mattress. That’s how she painted when she couldn’t sit or stand. The bed has her death mask too. It’s quiet in there. Heavy, but important. Across the hall, Diego’s books are still stacked. There’s a photo of Lenin on the wall. You’ll notice her medicine bottles. Letters. Brushes. Dried flowers in old vases. It’s not a museum in the usual sense. It’s her space.

You can't go in with a guide — and that’s the point

Guides are not allowed inside Casa Azul itself. That means everything you learn comes before you enter. A guided tour gives you the full backstory, so when you step in, you’ll notice things most people walk past.

The garden is more than just pretty

Frida’s garden is filled with lava rocks, pre-Hispanic sculptures, and plants with meaning. Sit near the small pyramid Diego built for her. You’ll often see people resting here, checking their photos or flipping through museum souvenirs

You’re already in Coyoacán — explore it

After the museum, you’ll walk through Frida’s neighborhood . Your guide may show you the church where she was baptized or the markets where she bought her clothes. If your tour includes Xochimilco, you’ll end the day with a peaceful boat ride on the canals she once painted.

Things to know before booking your Frida Kahlo museum tickets

  • Frida Kahlo Museum tickets are some of the hardest to get in Mexico City. Casa Azul sells out around 7 to 10 days in advance, so the first thing to know is: don’t wait until you land in Coyoacán to try your luck. Book ahead and secure your spot.
  • If you only want to step inside Frida’s world, the Skip-the-Line tickets ticket is your key. This ticket not only gets you into Casa Azul but also gives you access to the Anahuacalli Museum, Diego Rivera’s volcanic-stone temple of pre-Hispanic art. It’s the purest, most essential way to see Frida and Diego’s two most personal spaces without standing in the long queues outside.
  • Want context before you walk in? The Museum Guided Tour is the one to look at. Museum rules don’t allow guides inside the rooms, but your expert will share stories in the garden before you enter. You’ll pause with them before entering and again as you step back out, picking up insights about Frida’s life, her home, and the symbolism behind her belongings. This way, you enter the rooms with a deeper understanding, and when you come out, you connect what you’ve seen with the guide’s narration. You can also upgrade your ticket to include a coffee stop and Anahuacalli access, so the day feels more complete.
  • If you’re ready to make it more than a single museum visit, choose Frida with Coyoacán and Xochimilco . You’ll see her house, then walk her neighborhood’s cobbled streets, stop at a local market, and finish with a colorful trajinera boat ride through the ancient canals of Xochimilco. You can pick between hotel pickup or a central meeting point, whichever is easier for your day.
  • For couples, families, or anyone craving intimacy, the Private tour is the indulgent path. From a hotel pickup to a private trajinera with mariachis, the whole day bends around you. Your guide plans the route with you in advance, and you’ll never share the experience with strangers. It’s the same Coyoacán and Xochimilco as above, but tailor-made, from morning to evening.
  • Looking for something different? Frida Kahlo: The Immersive Biography takes you out of Casa Azul and into a digital re-imagining of her life at Espacio Alter. VR, projections, and iconic costumes surround you. It’s not the Blue House, but it lets you walk through her story in a new way.
  • If your plan is to see the best of Mexico City in one booking, the 2-Day Tour ties everything together. Day one takes you to Teotihuacán and the Basilica of Guadalupe. Day two brings you to Casa Azul, Coyoacán, and the floating gardens of Xochimilco. It’s a commitment, but you’ll cover the city’s icons without juggling separate tickets.
  • For first-timers who want to combine sightseeing with art, the Hop-on Hop-off + Frida combo **** is simple. Ride the open-top bus around the city at your own pace, then skip the line at Casa Azul. It’s sightseeing and culture rolled into one easy pass.

The blue courtyard — your starting point

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.

Frida Kahlo’s studio — right after the dining area

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

Frida Kahlo’s bedroom — through the central hallway

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.

The wardrobe exhibit — in the second house, accessible via courtyard

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.

Diego Rivera’s room — tucked beside the wardrobe section

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.

The back garden and pyramid — final stop

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.

Planning your day in Coyoacán?

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.

Colorful trajinera boats on Xochimilco canal, Mexico City, with tourists enjoying a guided tour.

Take a traditional trajinera through the canals of Xochimilco

  • Distance: Around 10 kilometers from the Frida Kahlo Museum
  • Travel time: 25 to 40 minutes by car, depending on traffic
  • Best route: Book a tour with roundtrip transport or take a cab from Casa Azul directly to Embarcadero Nuevo Nativitas

Xochimilco is where the city breathes loud and bright. The canals here are a remnant of ancient Aztec waterways. Locals still float through them on colorful boats called trajineras. You can bring your own snacks, hire a mariachi, and drift past floating gardens while sipping on pulque or agua fresca.

Included in: Frida Kahlo Museum Guided Tour + Xochimilco & Coyoacán

Eat where the artists eat: lunch in the artisan district

  • Distance: Just 500 meters from the Frida Kahlo House
  • Travel time: 5 to 7 minutes on foot
  • Best route: Walk northeast via Ignacio Allende to Jardín Centenario

Coyoacán feeds both your stomach and your senses. Around Jardín Centenario and Plaza Hidalgo, you’ll find street vendors selling fresh esquites and churros, family-run cafés, and open-air restaurants under flowering jacarandas. Try the mole at Los Danzantes or sip hot chocolate at Café Avellaneda. You’ll want to linger.

Shop for crafts at the famous Coyoacán market

  • Distance: About 750 meters from Casa Azul
  • Travel time: 10 minutes walking
  • Best route: Walk northwest via Miguel Hidalgo to Mercado de Coyoacán

The Mercado de Coyoacán isn’t a polished souvenir shop. It’s the real deal. Expect handwoven rebozos, lucha libre masks, papel picado, and shelves of Frida-themed crafts and jewelry you won’t find elsewhere. There's a food section here too—if you're curious to try pulpo tacos or tostadas de pata, this is your place. It’s busy, it’s loud, but it’s the heart of the neighborhood.

Included in: Frida Kahlo Museum Tour + Teotihuacan Tour + Xochimilco & Coyoacán
