FRIDA'S HOUSE

Almost every first-time visitor to Mexico City has Frida Kahlo's big blue house in Coyoacán on a list of 'must-see' places. When I first visited almost 20 years ago I was the only one there. Today you're likely to see big tour buses out front.

Now you can see it without leaving home. The website below offers a virtual 360-degree tour of the place. Just click on the floor plan to see the different rooms.
