Walking to the Frida Kahlo Museum

Turn right at Londres
Walk straight for 2 blocks — you’ll see the iconic blue walls on your right

Why walk? Strolling through Coyoacán lets you appreciate the setting that inspired Frida’s art. You’ll see local markets, historic churches, and even Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo’s Studio Museum nearby.

Best day to visit Frida Kahlo Museum

If you're wondering about the best day to visit Frida Kahlo Museum, weekdays are your best bet.

Tuesday to Thursday: Least crowded. Ideal for a quiet museum experience.
Fridays to Sundays: Very busy. These are peak days, and tickets often sell out in advance.

Avoid Mondays – the museum is closed.

To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking tickets at least 3–5 days in advance, especially if you want to take a Frida Kahlo museum guided tour or need a specific time slot.

Accessibility and museum layout

The museum is partially wheelchair accessible (ground floor and garden)
The second floor may be difficult to access due to narrow staircases

The Frida Kahlo house floor plan has been preserved in its original form, — so expect tight spaces, uneven floors, and narrow doorways typical of early 20th-century Mexican homes
