From February 13th to 19th, Mexico City is brimming with plans to celebrate love, friendship, and personal enjoyment with an agenda that blends gastronomy, sensory experiences, theater, coffee, music, and outdoor activities.
This week offers options for couples, groups of friends, and those who prefer to go out alone, with events ranging from special dinners and themed nights to floral installations, exhibitions, and theatrical performances. A perfect selection for those looking for things to do in Mexico City during Valentine’s Day and the days that follow.
If you’re looking for cultural activities, romantic plans, free events, or unique experiences in the capital, this agenda brings together unmissable options in different parts of the city, such as Roma, Santa Fe, Chapultepec, the Zócalo, and the Cenart (National Center for the Arts).
In Chilango, you’ll find everything from food tastings and outdoor cinema to performances, queer-themed cafes, and thought-provoking theatrical productions. A practical and up-to-date guide to making the most of the week with the best plans in Mexico City.
A night out with your sweetheart will be even better with unique culinary experiences like those at Marea and Nicos restaurants. At Marea, Lula Martín del Campo will join chef Edna Alanís in the kitchen to prepare a menu of dishes inspired by Northwest Mexico, accompanied by signature cocktails and music. Meanwhile, to build romance sip by sip, Nicos will host Mexcal at its bar, offering a tasting of mezcals that can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails, all presented with a visual theme reminiscent of the Mexican bingo game, Lotería. The regular menu will also be available if you start feeling a bit tipsy.
