BARRIO MÁGICO
There’s a reason Roma was given the nickname of Barrio Mágico, or Magical Neighborhood. Foodies would point to the bounty of restaurants, shopping fans Colima Street’s boutiques and architectural aficionados the surviving mansions from Roma’s aristocratic era in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
When is Roma’s magic at its height? Depends on who is asked. Most, though, would point towards the sunset hour, when the colonia is bathed in golden sunlight. Others know Roma’s vibe heightens with its preeminent nightlife.
Our signature map below encompasses all of these wonders.
