Why this route works
Mexico City becomes manageable when each half-day stays inside one neighborhood cluster. A meal, one cultural stop and a practical errand reveal more about daily life than crossing the city for three famous names.

90 min · LandingStay neighborhood-first; use Metrobús for long corridors
Walk within Roma, Condesa or another chosen district, then use Metrobús or Metro for longer legs. Avoid stitching together distant stops simply because they look close on a zoomed-out map, and leave a traffic buffer for any car-based segment. Metrobús costs MXN 6 per trip, with eligible same-direction transfers included within two hours.
