Every year, between February and April, Mexico City is covered in a beautiful lilac hue thanks to the blooming jacaranda trees. This phenomenon transforms the city into a magical setting, perfect for exploring on foot, by bike, or with a camera in hand to capture its beauty.

If you want to experience this natural wonder, here are some of the best spots to see it:

• Paseo de la Reforma: Wide avenues framed by jacarandas in full bloom.
• Avenida Insurgentes: Some sections form natural tunnels created by the blooming trees.
• Alameda Central: A city classic where the lilac hues blend with the architecture of the Historic Center.
• México Park and Glorieta de la Cibeles: Located in the Condesa and Roma neighborhoods, where jacarandas decorate the urban landscape.
• Chapultepec Forest: A green escape with paths lined with flowers.
• Lincoln Park and Presidente Masaryk Avenue in Polanco: Ideal for a peaceful stroll among jacarandas and elegant streets.

The beautiful jacarandas are one of the main attractions of spring in CDMX. You’ll love walking and relaxing under these trees!

Outdoor Terraces and Cafés

Sunny days and pleasant temperatures make spring one of the best times to enjoy a good meal or a coffee on a terrace. Mexico City has plenty of spots where you can unwind and watch life go by while enjoying the fresh air.

If you’re in the Historic Center, you’ll find terraces with spectacular views of churches, plazas, and colonial buildings. In Polanco, outdoor cafés and restaurants on tree-lined avenues create an elegant and cozy atmosphere.

The Roma and Condesa neighborhoods are known for their bohemian vibe, with hidden terraces nestled among trees and cafés with plant-filled patios. Meanwhile, in Coyoacán, the cafés around the plaza and on cobblestone streets offer a quiet, artistic ambiance.

Spring is the best time to enjoy CDMX outdoors. Make the most of it!
