Audiorama Chapultepec
Hidden behind the castle, this secret hollow is surrounded by towering bamboo and damp, rain-kissed earth. In summer, the greenery is at its peak, making it the perfect spot to sink into a colorful bench while classical music plays from speakers hidden in the trees.
Lardo
Elena Reygadas’s leafy Condesa spot is perfect for a breezy summer morning. Grab a seat near the large, open-air windows to catch the cool morning breeze and order the house-made rosemary roll and an espresso.
Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo
This brutalist concrete masterpiece looks spectacular against the dark, moody summer sky. Wander through the world-class contemporary art exhibitions just as the first afternoon clouds begin to roll in.
Contramar
Summer is the absolute peak for long, languid lunches while the daily rainstorm pours outside. Order the iconic split-sauce red and green grilled snapper, a tuna tostada, and watch the city's creative class settle in for the afternoon.
Casa Bosques
Duck out of the late-afternoon drizzle into this minimalist, independent bookstore. It’s the best place in Roma Norte to browse hard-to-find design, art, and fashion monographs while listening to the rain on the skylight.
Bar Las Brujas
Located in the historic, slightly gothic Rio de Janeiro plaza, this dark, female-led cocktail bar is deeply atmospheric on a wet summer evening. Sip beautifully crafted drinks made with local herbal infusions and Mexican spirits.
