Art and Architecture: 26 Cities Every Creative Soul Must Visit
5. Mexico City—A Muralist’s Dreamland
Mexico City pulses with bold, unapologetic creativity. The legacy of Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and David Alfaro Siqueiros is painted across its streets, from sprawling political murals to hidden artistic enclaves. The Palacio de Bellas Artes is a masterpiece inside and out, with its Tiffany-glass dome and art deco interiors. Wander through Coyoacán, where the Casa Azul (Frida Kahlo’s home) bursts with color and history, or step into Luis Barragán’s geometric world of light and shadow at Casa Gilardi.
