San Ángel and University City: Cultural Identity of the South of the City

Join us and discover the history, art, and beauty that give identity to the historic neighborhood of San Ángel and the emblematic University City, two cultural gems of Mexico City.

Our tour begins in the charming Chimalistac neighborhood, famous for its picturesque cobblestone streets and colonial mansions. We then move on to La Bombilla Park, a symbol of the Mexican Revolution 🇲🇽, where we will reflect on the country's past and present.

A short walk takes us to the old Carmelite College, the gateway to San Ángel and its streets filled with art and tradition.

We culminate in University City, the intellectual heart of the capital. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, this campus is famous for its monumental murals that celebrate the history, ideals, and culture of Mexico, masterpieces by Diego Rivera, Juan O’Gorman, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

Embark on this exciting journey through the best-kept secrets of CDMX. 👣

The tour lasts 2 hours

Available in English and Spanish

Guiding since 2018

At Estación México, we believe that discovering a city begins with walking and allowing yourself to be surprised by what it holds in its memory. Our project is designed to offer tours that reveal the hidden wonders of each place. Based on the principle of reciprocity, we enthusiastically share our knowledge, joy, and personality to convey the best stories and myths that safeguard centuries of heritage. We love walking with you while recounting the most significant moments of the local culture, those that bring its streets, plazas, and traditions to life. Estación México is a community created to share a love for the history and cultural richness of each city.
