The 27 Best Things to Do in Mexico City
"This museum, the former home and studio of Pritzker-Prize-winning architect Luis Barragán, is frequented by architecture and design lovers. From the street, you'd never guess the personality that lies inside: The stark-gray façade humbly blends in with neighboring homes, but walk to the interior of the estate and you'll find striking walls in a kaleidoscope of bright colors, fountains, and pools. Visits to the museum are by reservation only and always accompanied by a guide. The house, located in the Hidalgo District of Mexico City, has been kept just as it was when Luis Barragán lived there, until his death in 1988. Visitors come to see his expertise in design, architecture, and color play. The tour lasts 45 minutes to an hour, and with all that color and interesting design, it's hard to get bored." - Scarlett Lindeman
