If this avenue is the main artery of Mexico City, and it is, then the city is suffering from serious cardiovascular disease. All of Mexico City endures bad air, but the air on Paseo de la Reforma is lethal. It will literally bring tears to your eyes and lump to your throat. And you are not going to be any too happy about either.
My wife and I tried driving it in a cab once (snails move faster!) and we tried walking it twice. All three times we had to admit defeat and head off on side street leading back to our apartment in La Condesa.
Yes, the buildings are impressive. Yes, the shops are wonderful. Yes, the restaurants serve delicious food. Yes, you have Chapultepec Park, one of the world's biggest and best urban parks, at one end and the historic center at the other, with Alameda Central (park) in the middle. Impressive, no? Yes, if you survive it.

But a really beautiful street if you chose to stay near here at the end toward Chapultatec park. It is very central and safe and that end was SO beautiful with Jacaranda trees blooming. Sundays they close the square near the Plaza Diana and you can bike and run down the Paseo. Really a great plan for the family.

This massive tree lined Boulevard is one of the main arterial roads through Mexico City. It is wide and beautifully presented with statues and monuments running along the middle of it. We just saw it in passing, but found it very impressive.

This is the central road in the middle of Mexico city.
Lots of attractions, hotels, malls, monuments, restaurants, cafes and others are located along the road. You can see lots of kiosks for souvenirs, food and arts are near to most of the squares.

So lovely. We rented bikes from Ecobici (115 pesos for a 1-day membership) and biked from el Auditorio Nacional to the zócalo and back. Took about 2 hours total. Sunday mornings 1 lane of the avenue is blocked off for just runners/bikers, etc. Thousands of people exercising, El Angel de la Independencia, Alameda Central. Palacio de Bellas Artes. Just excellent!!

I would recommend travelling this road to experience the hustle and bustle of the city. Nice and tree lined in many areas. Can be very slow moving and most tourist buses include la Reforma in their routes.

Paseo de la Reforma is a main artery through the city. We chose to get bikes at our hotel and ride through the city on a Sunday morning. The city closes Paseo de la Reforma and some side streets on Sundays between 8:00am and 2:00pm so people can ride bikes, run, walk, rollerblade, etc. through the city. It's an awesome opportunity to get out and move up and down the street. We got our bikes at 8:30am and rode until about 10:00am, because we had a walking food tour in Polanco at 11:00. We were so glad we did the bike ride! We stopped and took pictures at several landmarks and even of some street vendors along the way. It's a beautiful way to get your bearings in the city. Highly recommend!

The hotel I stayed at was off of Paseo Reforma and we used it quite a bit to get from Chapultepec and to do dinner and shopping. The street is lined with pathways for walking, food, coffee, and high end shopping. It is worth taking a stroll on this beautiful street to get a feel of the tourist section of Mexico City.

Mexico City center is one of the most walkable cities I’ve ever been too. The urban planning and landscaping is remarkable. There is so much to see along the way along with the monuments and modern architecture. Definitely a must do.

It’s not the first time I visited Mexico City and still every time I am there I find time to walk along Paseo de la Reforma. There is something special about its ambiance, which I can best describe as a mix of ambitions and friendliness, peacefulness and vanity, modern culture and poetic past, and all these penetrating every corner of this avenue.
Wonderful place to get to know local work lifestyle.

Olá Lili, depende do que vc está buscando em sua viagem. Esta localidade é bem central para a Cidade do México. Passa o Turibus, terá facilidade com ônibus e taxi tb. Como se fosse a Avenida Paulista, aqui no Brasil! Bares, escritórios, hotéis de negócios, museus por perto e fluxo para saída, facilidade de deslocamento ... agora se busca um lugar mais calmo, vai alugar um carroo... ou algo assim, pd optar por bairros proximos. Lá tb funciona muito bem transfer (verifique no seu Hotel) e alguns utilizam tb Uber. Espero ter ajudado! Boa viagem!
