The Best Place to Shop in Mexico City, Mexico

Background Illustration for Shopping

The areas with the highest concentrations of shops are Polanco, for upscale boutiques, luxury chains, modern furniture stores, and fine-art galleries; and the Zona Rosa, chock-full of clothing stores, adult shops, leather goods, and antiques.

La Condesa and La Roma, though better known for restaurants and cafés, are sprouting designer boutiques, primarily for a younger crowd and artsy types. Jewelers, shoe shops, vintage clothes, and hip housewares stores are squeezing in as well. Most cluster along avenidas Michoacán, Vicente Suárez, Amsterdam, and Tamaulipas, in Condesa, and Alvaro Obregón and thereabouts, in Roma.

Hundreds of shops with more modest trappings and better prices are spread along the length of Avenida Insurgentes and Avenida Juárez.

Roma Vintage

La Roma

One of the better vintage shops in town, this small but well-stocked boutique is part of a small collection of stores run by curator and stylist Nata Paniagua. You'll find a range of fashionable goods here: retro T-shirts, leather jackets, designer labels, jewelry, sunglasses, cowboy boots, and much more.
