Hotels near Museo Frida Kahlo (Casa Azul)
Del Carmen, 04100 Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico
Casa Azul is the cobalt-blue house where Frida Kahlo was born in 1907, lived with Diego Rivera, and died in 1954. Converted into a museum in 1958, the rooms preserve the couple's personal belongings, Frida's wheelchair and painting easel, her plaster corsets, pre-Columbian ceramics, and a selection of original artworks. The courtyard garden features papier-mache skeletons, tropical plants, and a small pyramid Rivera built to display his collection of ancient figurines.
Coyoacan itself is worth exploring before or after your visit - the neighbourhood plaza has cafes, a Mercado de Antojitos (snack market), and the red-walled Jardin Centenario. Admission is 250 MXN (about 13 EUR) on weekdays, 270 MXN on weekends. An extra 35 MXN grants access to the temporary photography exhibition. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17:30 (Wednesday until 18:00). Tickets must be purchased in advance on the official website - walk-ups are not accepted.
> Pro Tip: Book the first time slot of the day (10:00) on a Tuesday or Thursday. Wednesdays have extended hours but draw larger crowds. After the museum, walk 10 minutes to the Mercado de Coyoacan for tostadas de tinga.
