Alameda Central, Mexico City

(480 reviews on the web)

Neighborhood Nature / Park

Take a tranquil stroll under the shady poplars lining the marble paths of Alameda Central. A leafy refuge amid the bustle of downtown Mexico City, the park has provided citizens and visitors with a quiet, reflective space since 1592. The park faces the city's fine art museum, and is dotted with sculptures and fountains of both Mexican and European origin. Sit for a spell or amble around this green space that has become a symbol of a traditional Mexican park.

Nice area with park and market on Sunday. There was so much life in Sunday afternoon/evening, people sitting, dancing and eating. Nice view on area is from Tore Latinoamerica. more »

Alameda Central is a nice park. I've been there to run and the experience was very nice. The place is not huge but big enough and safe. more »
