Paseo de la Reforma & El Ángel

Cuauhtémoc · Historic Boulevard · Free

An Austrian emperor laid out this boulevard so he could ride from Chapultepec to the palace. The republic that shot him kept his avenue and hung its heroes' monuments along it.

The grand diagonal Emperor Maximilian cut through the city in the 1860s to link his castle to the center — crowned by the 1910 Independence Angel.
