Here’s a quick list of some of the most beloved and unforgettable experiences in the city. Spoiler alert: you’ll want to come back for more.
Morelia International Film Festival (FICM)
Every October, Morelia rolls out the red carpet. The FICM has become one of the most important platforms for both Mexican and international cinema.
Actors, directors, journalists, film lovers, and the curious alike flood the streets between screenings, talks, cafés, and premieres. And the best part? Many of these events happen just steps away from Vista Express Morelia.
Picture this: you wake up, enjoy a full buffet breakfast downstairs, walk five minutes… and you’re already at Cinépolis Centro, ready to catch the next big film.
