Reforma is a long boulevard that winds through several distinct areas. Starting at Chapultapec Park and going west, you'll pass museums, businesses, art galleries and restaurants. Often there are exhibits on Reforma, such as the International Fair there now. On Sundays, cars are prohibited, so it's a great time for a walk or a bike ride. More

This very long avenida or boulevard is incredibly long and beautiful because of all the statues that mark a roundabout. It is 12 lanes wide and full of traffic all the time!!! The sidewalks are under trees so you can walk it for a while. In April there was an exhibition of sculptures made with compressed water bottles. Beautiful. More

Beautiful, clean and full of things to do, there's always some fair or other going on. Great for cycling in the weekends. More

Such a joy to ride down the Paseo on a Sunday morning with all the Chilangos. You can hire bikes from around the city and some hotels also have them for loan. Such a great way to see many of the historical buildings and memorials plus get some exercise! Keep your eye out for the tandem bikes - these are... More

One of my favorite things to do in Mexico City is bike down Paseo de la Reforma on Sunday mornings. The street is closed to car traffic and is full of people biking, walking, and jogging. Bikes are available for rent on the street, and some Mexico City hotels also have bikes available for loan. The Paseo de la Reforma... More

Like most of Mexico City, Reforma is a little frayed around the edges. There are some good bars to go to to enjoy a beer or margarita, but it is clear that most of the older buildings are in dire need of repair and like many places in DF, there are times when the street just smells really bad. It... More

Paseo Reforma has improved immensely over the past years. ON sundays it becomes pedestrians only and it like a park. I always stay at Marquis de Reforma hotel which is one of the very best in Mexico City. More

Since I am a passionate bicycle rider, the Sunday paseo on Reforma filled with thousands of cyclists, skaters, walkers and runners from 8AM to 2PM is so much fun. Also I participate in the program "Paseo a Ciegas" where we ride tandem bicycles with blind or vision impared people. Wonderful! More

Parts of Reforma are closed on Sundays for cyclists/ walkers (if you are driving, you need to take the lateral side road, turning is still allowed). Reforma can also be littered with special exhibitions on Sundays, we once saw an Alebrije (colorful animals or imagined creatures) competition and it was wonderful to walk around. However, Reforma can be a pain... More
