Audio Guide of San Angel

As it is a traditional neighborhood, you can wander its cobbled streets 24 hours a day. However, iconic museums such as the El Carmen Museum are generally open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Walking through its squares and the famous Saturday Bazaar is completely free. You only need to pay admission at specific venues such as museums (approx. 75-90 MXN) or for whatever you consume at its excellent restaurants and galleries.

To enjoy the full experience, I recommend setting aside between 3 and 4 hours. This will allow you to visit Plaza San Jacinto, go into a museum, and enjoy a relaxed coffee in this colonial setting.

San Angel preserves the stately atmosphere of the old retreat houses of the Mexican aristocracy and the 17th-century Carmelite convents. It is an epicenter of art and tradition where the viceregal past coexists with modern cultural life.

Without a doubt, **Saturday** is the star day because the famous Saturday Bazaar takes place with art and handicrafts. If you prefer peace and photos without crowds, visit on a Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

You should be cautious, as many streets retain their original cobblestones and the sidewalks can be narrow. However, the main squares such as San Jacinto and the renovated museums offer basic wheelchair access.

You are very close to the bohemian neighborhood of Coyoacan and the impressive University City (UNAM). You can round out your route by visiting the nearby Carrillo Gil Art Museum, just a few minutes away.

Wear very comfortable shoes with thick soles; the cobblestones are unforgiving to heels or thin soles. Also, bring cash if you plan to buy small handicrafts from the stalls in the square.
