Frida Kahlo image unveiled at AIFA airport to lure tourists to Mexico City

Mexico City's tourism board has unveiled a striking image of artist Frida Kahlo at the arrivals area of the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA). The initiative aims to entice travelers, presenting the artwork as a "lure" to discover the vibrant cultural offerings of the Mexican capital.

"This is the city that is in first place for cultural offerings; a capital that welcomes the world with history, art, music, museums, neighborhoods, and an identity that cannot be found anywhere else," stated Alejandra Frausto Guerrero, the capital's tourism secretary. The unveiling coincides with the artist's birthday, celebrated on July 6th.

Frausto also highlighted the airport's improved accessibility to the city, particularly the Felipe Ángeles Train's 45-minute connection to Buenavista station. "Arriving at AIFA today also means being closer to Mexico City," she noted, emphasizing the new possibilities for visitors to explore the capital's attractions.

The tourism route "Frida in Mexico City" includes significant locations such as the Casa Azul in Coyoacán, the Casa Rosa, the Anahuacalli Museum, the Dolores Olmedo Museum in Xochimilco, and the Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo House Studio.
