Gorgeous botanical gardens with huge maguey plants and a large collection of exotic plants. To add- the garden is on an emulsified "lava field". There is also the Jardín Esculturico that is a must see (they're walking distance Google it).

Everything Else
This market has everything vintage and they serve 40 oz "micheladas" that you can drink while you shop. Just be aware that it's a busy place and many people get pickpocketed here. This is a local Sunday hangout not a touristy spot, so go with people who speak Spanish and know the city well.
