 Mercado San Angel by Mexgirl
One of the most famous places is the Mercado de los Sabados en San Angel (Saturday´s Market of San Angel). Where in the main square there are tons of little "puestos" in the street where you can buy clothes, jorongos, jewerly, hand made paper, textiles, traditional mexican candies, etc.
Some of them are made or brought by ethnic groups from Oaxaca, Michoacan and other cities.
In Mexico city, and specially in Open markets, you can find all kind of handicrafts, comming from different States of the country.
Each State is still represented by several indian groups which have a unique style each one of them.
Normally, textiles, mexican traditional candies, and "ceramicas" are found in these kind of Markets. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: San AngelDirections: 2 Blocks from Mercado de las Flores de San Agenl or Pabellón Altavista

 My daughter with her mom by karenincalifornia
We found a store that sold extremely high quality dresses, much better quality than the typical dress one can find in a US department store.
My daughter, in this picture, is wearing the beautiful dress we bought in Mexico City - for the equivalent of about USD $15.
Buy dresses. Lots of them.
I regret that I did not buy a dress in successively larger sizes, so my daughter could have a beautiful new dress from Mexico City every year.
Now she won't wear them. :-( Leave a Comment Theme: Children's Clothes

Plaza de La Ciudadela is more like a marketplace - rather than a shop - where you will find a lot of little locals/stands selling all kind of local crafts... Jewelry, clothes, embroidery, wool stuff, big Mexican sombreros, pottery, etc... You can find a lot of nice stuff here and the prices are very decent!! It's one of the places where you'll find better prices in town...
Even though the prices are low, you can still bargain some with the vendors, especially if you buy several items. Of course it also depends on what you're gonna buy: it's not the same buying a pair of earrings worth $2 US dollars than a big hand-painted wooden box or a hand-embroidered dress that may cost over $50 USD.

 Huicholes indians by Mexgirl
The indian people selling their handicrafts at open Plazas and streets normally come from their Town, traveling hundreds of Kms to preserve their customs.
More than handicraft, their objects are certainly artistic and for one hand-made textil Shirt, they spend several days.
It is said that in Mexico is easy to dodge to get a cheaper price. If you come from the States or Europe, you will find Mexico city already cheap, I think is not recommended, or fair, to ask for a cheaper price for indian products. They are already an art and it requires them a lot to come and offer their products. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 Polanco by Aptypo
This once quiet residential neighbourhood now is filled with offices and apartments buildings, hotels, restaurants, chic boutiques, and shopping centers.
For a sophisticated dose of modern Mexico City, visitors should head to Polanco neighbourhood to spend the afternoon or just shopping.
Everything is very expensive. Theme: OtherDirections: Polanco is bounded on the south by Reforma Blvd. and Rubén Darío St., east by Gral. Mariano Escobedo, west by Periférico Av., and north by Ejército Nacional Av. Auditorio and Polanco subway stations, Line 7 (orange).

 San Angel by Aptypo
(San Angel Neighbourhood).
The southern area of the city has excellent restaurants several hotels offering a complete range of business and tourist services.
San Angel, a traditional neighborhood, lies to the southeast of the city.
The resident artists and writers, winding cobblestone streets, colonial mansions, Saturday afternoon crafts bazaars, local chops and colonial churches give this area its own cozy and fun atmosphere San Angel would be a good choice for a day out of the city center.
It's an elegant, old neighborhood with lovely colonial architecture.
Many of the local houses, with their capricious architectural details, today serve as centers for different cultural, artistic and commercial activities.
San Angel is also home to many excellent restaurants, and nightclubs as well as boutiques offering irresistible displays of fine handicrafts.
Not only for conventional shopping. Theme: OtherDirections: About 9 km (6mi) south of downtown, just west of Coyoacan neighborhood. Take the subway to the M. A. Quevedo station and catch a microbus (minibus) to San Angel, or ride a taxi from your hotel.

Anything meixcan can be purchased here. The bazaar is a huge open air market of arts, crafts, clothing, jewelry, purses, home furnishings, blankets, hats, toys, etc. The glassware is spectacular! there are also inlaid stone items for sale (boxes, crosses, etc). Even artists exhibitions of paintings on San jacinto square.
I would go every saturday when I was 13 and this last trip I went back. it was just as beautiful, colorful and enchanting as I remembered.

Alternatively, if you're staying near the Zocalo and you really want to do some shopping, head to La Merced, the city's largest market where you can buy just about everything. Just take the Metro to the La Merced stop and you're there. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
