Mexico City and its metro area are full of first-date plans that break the routine.

  • Walk through Chapultepec Forest and row on the lake.
  • San Juan Market to try something new.
  • Art-house cinema at the Cineteca Nacional.
  • Lucha libre at Arena México.
  • A pottery class in Roma.
  • Sunset on a museum terrace downtown.
  • Mural tour of the Historic Center.
  • A trajinera in Xochimilco in the morning.

Tip: for a first date choose public, busy places and turn on Datecito Safe.
