Paseo de la Reforma

19-Jul-2022 • Mexico City Mexico

There were bicycles parked along the avenue in several places.  I suppose these were like the ones we have back home which people could rent and use anywhere in the city.

We had lunch at this upscale Mexican Restaurant inside the Mall named Reforma 222.  We decided earlier on that we were going to eat here at least once.  We loved this mall.  

We were disappointed to find out that Chapultepec Park was closed that time we wanted to visit.  If I am not mistaken it was a Monday.

Who hasn't seen this golden angel atop a column along the Paseo?  It seems to be in every travel brochure about Mexico City.

Here's a full view of the Monumento Angel de la Independencia along the Paseo de la Reforma

I got another set of wings!  Taken in front of a hotel along the famous avenue.

This set of wings was deliberately set up for picture taking.  Many tourists line up to have their picture taken here all day long.

Prior to arriving in Mexico City, we already knew what we wanted to see and how we were going to get there.  A friend advised us to take UBER everywhere and we did each time we wanted to go someplace far from the city center.  Otherwise, we walked to various destinations from our hotel. 

At this point of our travel, we were very happy to be in the Mexican capital.  Such a gem of a city!
