About Colonia Juárez
Where to stay in Colonia Juárez
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Paseo de la Reforma is the address most rooms in Colonia Juárez claim, and the Monument to Cuauhtémoc marks the point where the avenue meets the neighbourhood's northern edge. Avenida Chapultepec is the other frontier. Between them run the blocks that hold La Ciudadela, the Centro de la Imagen and a string of small museums, so a stay here trades quiet for the shortest possible walk to them.
About Colonia Juárez
What are the main landmarks in Colonia Juárez?
Memory and novelty share the same streets here. The Monument to Cuauhtémoc stands on Paseo de la Reforma, while the Glorieta de las y los desaparecidos, the Antimonumento +65 and the Sitio de Memoria Circular de Morelia mark public losses along the neighbourhood's roundabouts and corners. La Ciudadela anchors the south.
Photography has its own house at the Centro de la Imagen, and the Museo de Cera, Mundo Chocolate Museo and Museo de lo Increíble Ripley draw a different crowd entirely.
What is the history of Colonia Juárez?
The record carries no founding year for Colonia Juárez, only its standing among the better-known colonias in the Cuauhtémoc borough. Its past shows up in what the streets commemorate. The Sitio de Memoria Circular de Morelia, the ABC Anti-monument and the Antimonumento Voces abrazando voces were placed here as public markers, and the Glorieta de las y los desaparecidos gave a Paseo de la Reforma roundabout a name of its own.
La Ciudadela belongs to the same list.
Where is Colonia Juárez?
A long triangle, Colonia Juárez closes on Eje 1 Poniente to the east, with Paseo de la Reforma to the north and Avenida Chapultepec to the south.
