What is Open House CDMX?
This is a free festival that provides a weekend opportunity to explore some of the most extraordinary buildings in Mexico City—ranging from private homes to monuments, architectural firms, and contemporary artworks—many of which are typically not open to the public.
The goal is to open the city's doors for people to explore, appreciate, and better understand its architecture, history, and the spaces where they live.
Activities: Guided tours, discussions with architects, and exhibitions.
Cost: Free entry; some additional events may charge a fee.
Attention!
