The Best Shopping Malls in Mexico City, Mexico
"In one of Mexico City’s most famous skyscrapers, you’ll find the highly exclusive Paseo Arcos Bosques shopping mall. It sits inside the interconnected tower building just next to the instantly recognizable and appropriately nicknamed structure El Pantalón (the Pants). As well as a Cinépolis cinema, this shopping center plays host to some of the most high-end designers around, such as Kate Spade and Hugo Boss."

"Barrio Alameda was once an Art Deco building but was renovated and turned into one of the best shopping malls in Mexico City. It is the home to a plethora of trendy fashion and design boutiques, and it also has plenty of chic open-air eateries serving a variety of both local and international cuisines. One feature you will admire about Barrio Alameda is that it usually has a higher number of regular sales compared to the rest, and as such, it is a nice place to frequent if you are looking for generous discounts."
"Enter this converted art deco building at the edge of the Alameda for inspired shopping, where plants drip from sleek railings and soft lamps. Three levels of boutiques showcase locally designed clothing,..."
"Galerías Insurgentes, with colorful tiled floors and a glass roof, is part of the Galerías brand, which also includes the aforementioned Perisur shopping center. While smaller than Perisur, this shopping mall is still a good choice, with a range of stores that will please everyone, including Build-a-Bear Workshop for the kids, Bari Swimwear for the beachgoers and plenty of cafes for the tired shopper to refresh and recharge. Keep your eyes peeled for the Louvre-style glass pyramid."
"It consists of 3 floors, where there are shops of all kinds: footwear, clothing, electronics. They regularly hold events for people who visit the place without eager to buy. To eat there are several restaurants and a food court...."
"Small but perfectly formed and sitting in the Coyoacán district, made famous for being the home of Frida Kahlo, is the Centro Coyoacán shopping mall. Opened in 1989 and designed by architect Javier Sordo Madaleno, this mall is still going strong and houses more than 100 shops and boutiques. With stores such as Kiehl’s, Mango and Zara, Centro Coyoacán suits all budgets and tastes."
"A multilevel structure built to house international modern art, donated by Oaxaca-born painter Rufino Tamayo to the people of Mexico. The museum exhibits cutting-edge works from around the globe, which are thematically arranged with shows from the Tamayo collection. The renovated Tamayo has a new rustic-chic restaurant overlooking the park, an ideal breakfast stop before exploring Chapultepec's sights."
"At the end of the 1970s, Oaxacan artist, Rufino Tamayo, began to acquire works to form his own collection of contemporary international art. He later donated the collection to the Mexican people in order to better present the world artistic panorama to them. Inaugurated just in 1981, it became part of the National Institute of Fine Arts just a few later."
"Tamayo is a museum that I frequent when I’m having a bad day. It’s also one that I visit when having a good one. You don’t need to know what is on view before going, because, in my experience, it’s guaranteed to be intriguing and interesting."
"With its last major redesign being back in 1917, Sanborns is something of a time capsule. Housed in Casa de los Azulejos, it comes with Grecian pillars, carved cornices, stained glass windows and murals harking back to a time of great opulence in Mexico. Art lovers should make a bathroom pitstop to see the Omnisciencia mural by Jose Clemente Orozco."
"José Vasconcelos 106, San Miguel Chapultepec I Secc, 11850 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico. A caveat: You're not really going to Sanborn's for the coffee. The regular drip brew is absolutely nothing to write home about, mediocre at best."
"Local artists line the pathways of this park to sell their paintings and vendors hawk art supplies. Arts & Crafts in Mexico City"
"Housed in a building designed by Teodoro González de León, the architect of the Museo Tamayo, the Reforma 222 shopping mall is a glass-covered delight. The four-story mall has shops to suit every budget, ranging from the budget-friendly Bershka to upmarket cosmetic brand Mac Cosmetics and high-street Spanish favorite Zara. Bookstores, a food hall and a cinema make Reforma 222 the complete package for anyone looking for a bit of downtime away from Mexico City’s hectic streets."
"The Reforma 222 is a place which caters to all your shopping and entertainment needs under one roof. This shopping mall is located at Paseo de la Reforma and houses high-end brands like Zara, Bershka, Women's Secret, Nine West, Tommy Hilfiger, Steve Madden etc. At Reforma 222 you can find things like clothing, accessories, cosmetics, electronics, furniture, books, music and more."
