"Dating back to 1592, Alameda is the first urban garden of the Americas and one of the most traditional parks in Mexico City. Its location next to the Bellas Artes Palace makes it easily accessible from both the Centro Histórico and Paseo de la Reforma. This is a great spot to recharge after a day walking around the Centro Histórico, and it’s within walking distance of important attractions such as the Chapultepec, Franz Mayer Museum, Latin American Tower, and aforementioned Bellas Artes. The whole park is packed with fountains and sculptures, some of which date back to the mid-19th century." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"Mexico's oldest municipal park has been around since 1529, when it served as an Aztec marketplace. Today, the park serves as a pedestrian-friendly hangout in the otherwise concrete-filled Centro Historico. You'll find teenagers on their phones, elderly couples soaking up sun, and parents chasing kids on scooters. At one end of this manicured rectangle is the Palacio de Bellas Artes; at the other, a string of cafés, mezcal bars, and shops. Go for a leisurely stroll near the fields of lavender, which fill the air with a lovely aroma." - Scarlett Lindeman

An oasis in the middle of Mexico City. A great place to get away from the intensity of the city. Completely safe with a heavy police presence. Plenty of places to sit and relax. The water fountains add a special touch. Combined with the landscaping this truly is one of the most beautiful parks in the world.

With all the street vendors it can become so loud and chaotic but in all honesty I love it haha. Many people are against this but, Mexico is this. Since the beginning of this city, Tenochtitlán was one of the biggest trading cities in all of the American continent. This is just a reminder of what this city used to be.

Very nice, lively park. You could probably spend a whole day hear just to relax and take in some urban nature. The scenery includes trees, flowers, fountains and live performers (buskers). It is a big park so you have ample room to explore with space around you.

Beautiful city park right in the heart of Centro. Full of locals enjoying their day/night and dancing like no one is watching. Surrounded by purple jacaranda trees, fountains, and other beautiful buildings, it is located in a stunning setting. One of the places where you can truly experience CDMX.
