1. Perfect October Weather

In October, Mexico City enjoys mild temperatures, making it the ideal time for leisurely walks through Condesa's iconic parks like Parque México and Parque España. With sunny days and cool breezes, you can comfortably explore the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets, enjoy outdoor dining, or relax in a local café while taking in the laid-back atmosphere.

Comfortable shoes for walking and exploring.

A camera to capture the beauty of Condesa’s stunning architecture and street art.


2. October Cultural Events

October is filled with exciting cultural events and festivals in Mexico City, and Condesa is at the heart of it all. As Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) approaches, the city becomes even more vibrant, with streets and venues adorned with colorful ofrendas (altars), flowers, and skull motifs in preparation for the celebration.


Don’t miss out on the Día de los Muertos parades, which often take place toward the end of October. Condesa's proximity to the city center makes it a convenient place to stay for these grand celebrations while offering a quieter, more relaxed neighborhood vibe.
