Centro Histórico

The historic heart of Mexico City, where colonial buildings and Aztec ruins share the streets with hostels and rooftop bars. **Calle Regina** is the epicentre of the backpacker scene, lined with bars, taquerías, and hostels like **Hostal Regina** and **Mundo Joven Catedral**. By day, explore the **Zócalo** or **Templo Mayor**; by night, hop between rooftop bars and cantinas. It’s loud, chaotic, and impossible to resist.

Roma Norte

A trendy neighbourhood packed with hipster cafés, art galleries, and some of the city’s best nightlife. **Calle Orizaba** and **Calle Colima** are lined with bars and clubs like **Jules Basement** and **Departamento**. It’s a 15-minute metro ride from Centro, so it’s easy to combine with a day of sightseeing. The crowd is a mix of locals, expats, and travellers, and the vibe is more polished than Centro.

Condesa

A leafy, upscale neighbourhood with a bohemian twist. **Parque México** is the perfect spot for a daytime stroll, while **Avenida Tamaulipas** comes alive at night with bars and clubs. It’s pricier than Centro but still backpacker-friendly, with hostels and happy-hour deals. The crowd is a mix of young professionals and travellers, and the vibe is relaxed but lively.

This hostel rooftop is the best place to start your night. The view of the cathedral lit up at night is worth the climb, and the cocktails are the cheapest in town. 60 MXN (£2.30) for a mojito. It gets packed by 8 PM, so arrive early to grab a seat. The crowd is mostly backpackers and solo travellers, and the vibe is more chilled than rowdy.

A two-floor club in Juárez that’s all about the music. Upstairs is deep house and techno; downstairs is reggaeton and Latin hits. Entry is 150 MXN (£5.70) and includes a drink. It gets busy after 2 AM, so don’t show up before midnight. Dress sharp. door staff can be picky. The crowd is a mix of locals and travellers, and the dance floor is always packed.

A speakeasy-style club hidden behind an unmarked freezer door in Roma Norte. Inside, it’s all dim lighting, craft cocktails (180 MXN / £6.80), and a crowd that skews older and dressier. The music is a mix of electronic and indie. Entry is 200 MXN (£7.60) and includes a drink. It’s small, so arrive by 11 PM to avoid a queue.

A massive club in Zona Rosa with three floors of music: reggaeton, EDM, and Latin hits. Entry is 250 MXN (£9.50) and includes a drink. The crowd is young and energetic, and the dance floor gets rammed by 1 AM. Dress to impress. no sandals or shorts. If you’re looking for a big, high-energy night out, this is the place.

A tiny mezcal bar in Condesa with just eight seats. The owner, Fernando, will walk you through a tasting of artisanal mezcals for 150 MXN (£5.70). It’s the perfect spot for a pre-game or a chilled night in. The crowd is a mix of locals and travellers, and the vibe is more about conversation than shots. Open until midnight.

A cantina in Centro that’s been around since 1942. It’s a no-frills spot where locals play dominoes and drink pulque, a traditional Aztec drink. A glass costs 40 MXN (£1.50). The crowd is mostly older men, but travellers are welcome. It’s a great place to try something different and soak up some history. Open until 10 PM.
