Tianguis Cultural del Chopo

Mexico City


A gathering place for the city’s various youth subcultures – especially goth, metal, indie and punk – with most of the outdoor vendor stalls selling new and vintage clothes and CDs or offering tattooing, piercings and hair coloring. At the north end of the market is a concert stage for young-and-hungry bands with an often high audience.

The main entrance is one block east of metro and metrobús Buenavista. Watch your belongings and expect to hear whispers for drug offers at this notorious market.
