Bazar Artesanal Mexicano — Attraction in Mexico City

There is so much to see here. You will definitely need an hour or three to see all of the stalls. I didn't like the smell but it was fine. They sell so many things here like candy, snacks, clothes, decorations, souvenirs, shoes, jewelry, etc. There are two floors, you can go up the stairs on the left or right side. There is an elevator but it wasn't working when I went. It is very cramped so if you are claustrophobic, I wouldn't go. I also would not go with children because you could loose sight of them easily.

Purchased few things here and now have it on display at home. And you are supporting true artisans and their work, not resellers. But also it's not the best looking market durning my visit. Metepek was much more visually nicer market, but metepek is more around clay and didn't have as much variety as Bazar Artesanal Mexicano, for sure is worth...

With an amazing range of items, this market is a true gem. While browsing the long aisles, I happily located a "mole frutal" in one local and a "cacao organico amargo" in another--the former produced in S. Pedro Atocpan (in the Milpa Alta delegacion de CDMX) and the latter from Chiapas. Our daughter reminisced coming across garments of alpaca made in Bolivia (where we spent two years). When I return to Coyoacan, I'll bee-line it to this market. I urge all to spend an hour or two meandering the aisles, marveling at...
