5 Best Shopping in Mexico City, Mexico

This store is a mine of perhaps the best silverwork in Mexico—jewelry, flatware, candelabras, museum-quality reproductions of archaeological finds, and bold designs by young Mexican silversmiths. The Masaryk shop is one of several in the city, including locations in the Four Seasons and Presidente InterContinental hotels and in the upscale Centro Santa Fe. Outside this Polanco branch, you'll find an Instagram-famous bright pink wall with a neon sign that sums up most visitors' sentiments: Mexico mi amor.

This gallery in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Mexico City is heavy on contemporary painting, with a smattering of sculptures by Mexican artists, many of them well-known. Some international artists are also represented. There is another branch of the gallery in the Santa Fe neighborhood.

One of only a few outdoor malls in the city, Antara Polanco has a collection of upscale stores that includes Carolina Herrera, Zara, Hugo Boss, and Tommy Hilfiger as well as branches of several luxury stores that are also found along the neighborhood's ritzy Avenida Presidente Masaryk; there are plenty of dining options, too.

Founded in 1988 by Alfredo Ginocchio as Praxis Mexico, this now-eponymous gallery promotes distinguished work from Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America. Its relatively small but interesting collection features a different artist every couple of months, alongside a variety of sculptures and paintings by familiar names including Santiago Carbonell and Alberto Aragón.

Works—mostly paintings with a contemporary edge—by Mexican artists pack this large gallery. Downstairs, the main gallery exhibits a different artist each month (including the likes of José Antonio Farrera, Francesca Dalla Benetta, and Carlos Marín) while an upstairs gallery holds the permanent collection.
