Mexico City: Zócalo to Coyoacán by Metro
Explore Mexico City through local walks linked by Metro rides—not one continuous walk. Begin at the Zócalo’s cathedral-framed square and Palacio de Bellas Artes, then visit the Monument to the Revolution in Plaza de la República and the Angel of Independence on Paseo de la Reforma. Continue by Metro toward Chapultepec Castle above the wooded park, then take another Metro ride toward Coyoacán to finish at Jardín Centenario’s coyote fountain.

The itinerary
Stop by stop.
Plan around civic events and access restrictions that can affect the squares and monument approaches; check entry arrangements separately.
- 01
Start here
Zocalo
Begin in the square’s open space, framing the cathedral towers or National Palace frontage with a level horizon. Civic events and security can change access, and building entry is separate. Check the Landmark map and confirm your Unlock nearby before moving on.

+ 890 m from the previous stop
Palacio de Bellas Artes
Use the permitted forecourt beside Alameda Central to keep the orange-and-gold dome clear and the broad marble facade level. Leave entrances and demonstrations unobstructed. Performance tickets, exhibitions and indoor photography rules are separate from your visit to this Landmark.

+ 1.4 km from the previous stop
Monument to the Revolution
Keep longer transfers Metro-based rather than extending this into a continuous walk. At Plaza de la República, use the open plaza to frame the copper dome and a broad arch. Stay out of the fountain area, and adapt to event barriers or changing movement around fountains.

+ 1.7 km from the previous stop
Angel of Independence
At Paseo de la Reforma, choose a permitted pedestrian viewpoint with the gilded winged figure clear above the trees. The monument occupies a traffic circle: use designated crossings and respect event or restoration barriers. Confirm your Unlock nearby rather than relying on a distant avenue view.

Chapultepec Castle
Use a Metro ride for the longer transfer toward Chapultepec, followed by local walking to the Landmark. Frame the castle’s pale facades and hilltop greenery only from authorized visitor areas. Admission, terraces and museum interiors have separate rules; a park-side Unlock does not establish castle entry.

Jardin Centenario Coyoacan
Take the Metro for the long transfer toward Coyoacán, then continue locally to Jardín Centenario. Use a public path to frame the bronze coyote fountain and leafy square without standing on the rim. Respect neighborhood activity and worship access; private courtyards and the Frida Kahlo Museum are separate.

Before you go
Track questions.
Is this one continuous walking route?
No. This track combines local walking with Metro rides for the long transfers between areas. Keep the Landmarks in the listed order, and plan Metro journeys toward Chapultepec and then Coyoacán rather than treating those transfers as walks.
How do I confirm an Unlock at each Landmark?
Check the Landmark map and confirm your Unlock while nearby. A distant view does not establish arrival at any of these stops, so do not rely on seeing a dome, column or castle from elsewhere.
Does an Unlock include entry to buildings or museums?
No. Cathedral and government-building entry, Bellas Artes performances and exhibitions, and the Revolution monument’s observation access and museum entry are separate. Chapultepec Castle admission, terraces and interiors also have their own rules; a park-side Unlock does not imply castle entry.
