Souvenir trinkets, clothes ceramics & leather goods of every variety sold here. A one stop shop but quality is variable. Worth a visit. Some food stalls too.

If you speak Spanish and know how to negotiate prices then its a great place to go buy souvenirs. Love the people and the quality of art that you can buy. Just make sure to double check prices before you buy because prices vary so much inside the market that you should go around without buying in the beginning and then go to the stores with the best prices.

The best place to find traditional Mexican art, clothing and pretty much everything you can think of. Always look for better prices, some locals will offer the same product much more expensive, some places have codes instead of price tags, don't buy there, they exhibit other people's products (from within Ciudadela) at a higher price. There is a restaurant in there, food and drinks are served in a very traditional way, great food as well. Watch for the aisles you're on if you liked something in particular, you can forget easily where you were since most places look the same.

Great place to wander through enjoying the many different handcrafts. Everything from tiles to mirrors to clothing to ceramics to jewellery just to name a few things there. Many different stalls and stall holders very friendly but not demanding. Prices seemed good too and cheaper than shops by a long way. Go have fun and enjoy a taste of Mexico.

The best place in Mexico City to find crafts and souvenirs from all over Mexico. Prices are reasonable, the variety is impressive, and you can find a number of shops where the artisans themselves are working and selling. While some shops accept credit cards, it's best to bring cash. You can bargain a little bit especially when buying multiple items, but even if you don't haggle you'll get a fair price.

worth a visit if your close by. Most of the items are from Oaxaca/Chiapas. No The textiles are great. I picked up some fantastic beaded birds suitable for Christmas ornaments.

One of the best Mexican markets I have ever been too. Yes they raise the prices because they are resellers but thats normal. And if you speak Spanish they wont give you much of a gringo tax 😉😉

This place is almost entirely full of kitschy tourist souvenirs, pretty much the same stuff the touts are selling at the pyramids. I would say skip this market and head to the 'Museo de Arte Popular' relatively close by. The gift store there sells crafts which are a lot more unique and higher quality than at Cuidadela.

It is like a museum. The amount of pieces and their quality is just extravagant? I have seen incredible art works Although it has its own parking, it tends to be full, you'll spend some time getting a spot. Rarely one can pay with credit cards, dare to bring cash.

We enjoyed our time here. There were many, many, many different stalls with a variety of crafts, clothing, food, trinkets, home dec, instruments, etc to peruse. Here we purchased a weekender bag, home decor, scarfs, local tapestry art among other things. The stalls are easy to navigate. You are easily left alone to browse on your own. There were a few eager to help but for the most part we enjoyed our leisurely browsing. We also ate here. The food was okay. The cool thing was three of us ate and drank for 130 pesos. This market is a must for locally made stuff at local prices.

Huge artisan market and souvenir shop with a nice restaurant when you get tired and hungry from shopping! You can find handy craft and beautiful textile from all regions of Mexico. You can browse around and not get hasseled. I always come here before heading back to the US for some last minute gifts.

Awesome market full of all the Artisans goods you could imagine. I feel like a lot of booths mark up their prices because they are expecting bartering. Definitely shop around to find the best prices and the designs. Every booth is slightly different. The people are delightful. I would say about half of them speak English, but they are used to tourists that don't speak great Spanish and will try to accommodate you.

Wonderful Art market. Lots of serious artists and lots of touristy garbage. Plans to spend a couple hours here. There are a couple restaurants available to take a break. Not sure why Google is showing a menu, they should be featuring the artists.

I've been to this market twice. It is phenomenal, fun to walk around, lots of different things to buy. Of course many stands sell the same things so you should compare prices before buying. Also some only take cash. I have bought several mirrors as souvenirs / gifts and they are always well-received. Good quality clothing. Big range of gifts from toys to household decorations.

This is the place you want to visit if you are looking for tat and/or for quality Mexican crafts. The market is well laid out and pleasant enough to get lost for a couple of hours. It will save you lots of time - days even, as you would have to travel all over the country to get the items where they are made, although the best-represented region is central Mexico. FONART shops have a wider selection but fewer items in each ranger, and they are pricier. For top quality and design you need to go to San Ángel, but in La Ciudadela you can find quality too.

If you're looking to buy authentic Mexican crafts, this is your one-stop-shop! Artisans bring an array of gorgeous arts and crafts to display that are stunning to look at. They really hold the heart of Mexico! My eyes could not get enough as I walked up and down the aisles - it's very hard to resist such beautiful artistry. All the local vendors are so friendly and happy to help. One tip - photography is not really allowed due to the fear that designs might be stolen, so best to keep the camera in your bag.

Probably the best curio/souvenir market I've ever been to in decades of traveling around the world. Outstanding space, presentation, and organization. Charming little cafe/restaurant in the middle, clean bathrooms, and bright, wide alleyways with a dazzling array of Mexican handicrafts at very reasonable prices. I went away thinking that other countries I could name should send delegations to Mexico City to study this market and replicate its environment-- including no pressure from vendors-- at home.
