When you become an adult it is more complicated to coordinate with your friends to go out, but don’t worry, don’t let that stop you! If you are looking for things to do alone in CDMX you came to the right place, because we bring you 10 unmissable plans.
1. Go to a museum
If there is one thing that abounds in Mexico City, it is museums. There are enclosures that are free on Sundays others who are free every day and some that have just been added to open its doors. We recommend going to the Museum of Anthropology or the Museum of National History (in Chapultepec Castle), which has a secret garden and a viewpoint from where you can see Paseo de la Reforma from above.
2. Admiring the CDMX from a lookout point
Nothing better than going to a lookout point, right? One of the most traditional options is in the Latin Tower. In fact, it has an activity where you can watch the sunrise while doing yoga at high altitude. These sessions are done every month or so, so stay tuned for upcoming dates.
It is also a good option to watch the sunset. You will get incredible images of the Palace of Fine Arts and the Alameda Central.

3. Take a stroll in bicycle
One of the ways you can get around the CDMX is by bicycle. If you like big events, we recommend you to go to the Sunday walks, which take place from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm in streets like Paseo de la Reforma. In fact, the route reaches emblematic sites such as the capital’s Zócalo. As part of the event, there are physical activities, including yoga, rollerblading and biking classes.
You can also go to Paseo de Todos CDMX, a nightly event that takes place on the last Thursday of every month. Each edition has a different theme. You can even go in costume. At both events you can meet a lot of people.
4. Enjoy a play
In Mexico City, an infinite number of plays are presented. One of those you can’t miss is The Woman in Black. It tells the story of Arthur Kipps, who during his youth had an experience with ghosts. The event has haunted him for years and now he has decided to tell all about it. Run him through your tickets and live this chilling story.
If you’re not a horror fan, don’t worry, because there are plenty of tetro plays you can watch. By here here are some recommendations.
5. Take a tour of the Chapultepec Audiorama
Among the plans of what to do alone in CDMX you can’t miss the relaxing activities. The Audiorama of Chapultepec is an excellent space for read or just forget about all the stress by listening to the tunes they play. Don’t forget to stop by and take a look at the Cincalco Cave which, it is said, is the gateway to the underworld.
