San Ángel's Plaza San Jacinto hosts a large market - called El Bazar Sábado - every Saturday from 10am until 7pm. It's an art and design market, and you can find incredible artisan goods and art: jewelry, bags, clothes, paintings, pottery... It's amazing - hundreds of vendors! It can be crowded, so come with a little patience and some cash. And enjoy! It's a special event. I highly recommend it for tourists visiting Mexico City.

It doesn't seem as busy and it feels more like Mexico than many of the urban areas. This market is a part of what gives the area its charm. Because coyoacan is the home of Frida Kahlo, Coyoacan is known to be home to many artists. While I didn't see that on a Tuesday afternoon, I hear the weekends and nights are more lively. This market full of local vendors, but a lot of what's here is touristy souvenirs that aren't cheap. Was considering rating this 3 stars as I couldn't find anything I really wanted to buy; however I do think it's an essential part of the local flavor

Do not mix it up with Mercado de Coyoacán (an actual market with cultural goods and local eats). This is an ultra high-end mall with some really cool statues and art sculptures, fancy departments stores, some nice restaurants, toy stores, clothing stores, and more. It's multi-level and semi-outdoors in some areas. Some high end stores here included Cartier and Hugo Boss. The bad: We came to this mall by accident at first because our Uber driver took us to the wrong spot. We ended up browsing it anyway before going to our actual destination. The interesting: Plaza Centro Coyoacán was the old name but they closed a few years back and are now called Mitikah.

It's a lovely neighborhood - well worth a visit for people visiting the city. One of the reason it's so great? Plaza San Jacinto. The plaza is traditional, with a fountain in the center and paths leading to it from each corner and side of the plaza. With plenty of trees, benches, and people, it's a great place for a walk/stroll or to sit on a bench and listen to music or read or people watch. But the highlight of a visit to Plaza San Jacinto? Every Saturday, it hosts the Bazaar Sábado - a traditional market of hundreds of artists, artisans, and sellers of almost everything you can imagine. We were lucky to be walking through the Plaza around 6pm on a Saturday (the market is from 10am-7pm every Saturday), and it was such a treat. But on every side of the Plaza are gorgeous buildings that house shops, restaurants, and a museum (Museo Casa del Risco), making the Plaza and its surroundings a great place to spend a few hours!

The Saturday artist market in the plaza always includes a wealth of talented painters lining the pathways although kitsch and craft has crept in since tourists discovered the market. I still deeply regret not buying a fantastic almost-abstract landscape painting years ago and that stayed in my mind as I strolled through the plaza and the thin stone streets of San Ángel.
