How to Plan Your Week

A week in CDMX can be perfectly tailored to immerse you in the city’s vibrant electronic scene without pushing you to the brink. Start with Midweek as your cornerstone, filling in around that anchor. Save spots like Phonique and M.N. Roy for the weekend when their atmospheres are electric with energy. Make sure to wrap up your trip at LooLoo; it’s bound to be a conversation starter long after you’ve left.

Eating early in the week at Supra or Cha Cha Chá allows you to settle into your surroundings, while the more energetic spots like La Única and Toledo work well as you find your groove. Midweek visits to Faunna welcome a local vibe that’s more authentic sans the weekend crowds. If you’re keen on a seamless transition from dinner to dance, Ruido is your go-to.

Mexico City rewards the traveler who plans wisely yet is flexible enough to adjust on the fly. This guide sets the stage, but the magic resides in your journey.
