Casa Azul ticket with digital guide
Timed fast-track entry to the Frida Kahlo Museum, entry to the Anahuacalli Museum and a self-guided digital guide in English or Spanish. Non-refundable.
Blue House or Red House
Blue House or Red House: pick the right option
The ticket this site recommends sells two different museums under one listing. They are both in Coyoacán and both carry the Kahlo name, and reviewers say the choice is easy to get wrong. Read this before you pay.
The Casa Azul (Blue House)
The Frida Kahlo Museum: the house where she grew up, lived with Diego Rivera and died, open as a museum since 1958. Book this option if you want her studio, her bedroom and the garden.
Casa Kahlo (Red House)
A separate museum that opened in late September 2025 at Aguayo 54, in a Kahlo family property with red walls. It tells the story of her family and early years. It is not her former home.
Anahuacalli comes with one of them
The Frida Kahlo Museum option also admits you to the Anahuacalli Museum, Diego Rivera's volcanic-stone building for his pre-Hispanic collection. The Casa Kahlo option does not include it.
How to check before you pay
On the booking page, the option name says which museum it covers. If you want the Blue House, the option must name the Frida Kahlo Museum. Tickets are non-refundable, so check twice.
Londres and Allende
Why the Casa Azul is worth the trip south
The house she grew up in
The house went up in 1904 in Colonia del Carmen, Coyoacán. Frida Kahlo grew up here with her father, the photographer Guillermo Kahlo, and her mother, Matilde Calderón y González, and she always said she was born in it. She spent most of her life between these walls.
A home Diego Rivera reshaped
In the 1930s Kahlo and Rivera made the house their home. Around 1941 Rivera added a wing of local volcanic stone that closes the courtyard, and her studio and bedroom moved into it. A fountain, a reflection pool and a stepped pyramid followed in the 1940s.
Kept the way they left it
Rivera placed the house in a trust in 1957, and it opened as a museum in July 1958. The poet Carlos Pellicer, a friend of the couple, planned the displays. In 2004, bathrooms and wardrobes in the house turned out to hold thousands of documents, photographs and dresses.
Room by room
Through the Blue House, space by space
A visit to the Casa Azul is a walk through a lived-in house, not a gallery. These are the spaces you pass through, in the order most visits follow them.
-
01The courtyardOutdoors
Blue walls and an inscription
Through the gate on Londres Street you step into the courtyard. On the blue wall, a framed inscription reads 'Frida y Diego vivieron en esta casa 1929–1954'. Photographs are free here and in the garden.
-
02Ground floorIndoors
Letters, dresses and ex-votos
The first rooms hold personal objects: photographs, letters, Tehuana-style dresses, toys and jewellery. The couple gathered hundreds of small votive paintings, the ex-votos, and many hang along the stairs.
-
03The kitchenIndoors
Yellow tile and clay pots
The kitchen is typical of old Mexican houses: yellow tile, a long yellow table and folk pottery from Metepec, Oaxaca, Tlaquepaque and Guanajuato. The dining room next door holds the couple's ceramic dinnerware from Tzintzuntzan.
-
04The studioUpstairs
Light from the 1940s wing
Upstairs, in the stone wing Rivera built, is the studio. The easel was a gift to Kahlo from Nelson Rockefeller, and her wheelchair stands in front of it. Phone photos without flash are part of the ticket.
-
05The bedroomsUpstairs
A mirror above the bed
Her bed has the mirror her mother had fitted after the 1925 accident, when Kahlo could not move for months and began to paint. Corsets and crutches are on show, and an urn with her ashes rests on a dresser.
-
06The gardenOutdoors
A pyramid among the plants
The garden holds the stepped pyramid built in the 1940s for the couple's pre-Hispanic pieces, a fountain, a reflection pool and stone figures such as a basalt Chicomecóatl, the maize goddess.
The museum sets the route and sometimes closes a room or changes a display for an exhibition. Follow the signs on the day.
The house and its streets
The Casa Azul in pictures
The courtyard and its inscription, the stepped pyramid in the garden, the reflection pool, the volcanic-stone wing, and two Coyoacán sights a short way off: the coyote fountain and Anahuacalli.

Plan your visit
Getting to Coyoacán
Coyoacán lies about 10 km south of the Zócalo. The museum is at Londres 247, on the corner of Allende, in Colonia del Carmen. Metro, Metrobús, taxis and ride-hailing all reach it; use the city's route planner for your own trip.
Your entry time
Every ticket on this page is for a set slot. One of the entry tickets asks you to be there 15 minutes ahead and is valid only for its slot, and the guided tour allows 15 minutes' grace. Plan to arrive early, not on the minute.
Bags, hats and video
Backpacks and parcels over 35 cm, umbrellas, food and drink go to the cloakroom. Suitcases are refused. Take off hats, caps and dark glasses inside, and do not film: video is not allowed anywhere in the museum.
Photographs
The ticket covers phone photos without flash inside the rooms, for personal use. In the courtyards and the garden you can photograph freely. Selfie sticks go to the cloakroom.
Children
Children under 6 enter free. The museum asks children to stay close to an adult and not to run or play in the rooms. Strollers and baby carriers go to the cloakroom.
Access
The entry tickets are marked wheelchair accessible. The museum lists ramps, an elevator and wheelchairs, but as a house museum it keeps its original architecture. The guided tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Questions before the Blue House
Is the Casa Azul the same as the Frida Kahlo Museum?
Yes. La Casa Azul, the Blue House, is the Frida Kahlo Museum at Londres 247 in Coyoacán. Casa Kahlo, also called the Red House, is a different museum that opened in 2025 and is not her home.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
No. The museum does not sell tickets at a ticket window. It sells tickets online and through a self-service kiosk at its shop, and travellers report dates selling out, so book ahead.
Does the ticket include the Anahuacalli Museum?
The Frida Kahlo Museum ticket includes entry to the Anahuacalli Museum, Diego Rivera's building for his pre-Hispanic collection. The Casa Kahlo option does not.
Can I cancel the ticket?
The two entry tickets on this page are non-refundable. The guided tour can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours before, when booked through GetYourGuide, and you can reserve it now and pay later.
Does fast-track mean I won't queue?
It means you skip the ticket queue. Every visitor enters at a set time, and reviewers describe a line for each entry slot that moves quickly, so arrive a little early.
How long should I allow?
The entry ticket is for a visit of about an hour. The guided tour runs two to five hours. Leave time for the plazas of central Coyoacán as well.
Can I take photographs?
Yes, with a phone and without flash inside the rooms, for personal use. In the courtyard and garden you can photograph freely. Video is not allowed anywhere.
Is the museum suitable for wheelchair users?
The entry tickets are marked wheelchair accessible, and the museum lists ramps, an elevator and wheelchairs. It is an old house, so some spaces are tighter. The guided tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
Is this site run by the museum?
No. This is an independent visitor guide with no connection to the museum, its trust, the Kahlo family or Casa Kahlo. Bookings go through GetYourGuide.
