A Garden of History: Central Alameda

Central Alameda is the oldest public park in Mexico City, created in the late 1500s. Initially an Aztec marketplace, it evolved into a retreat for locals and tourists alike.

Founded by Viceroy Luís Velasco, it has a rich history that includes European-style statuary added in the late 19th century. With dancing fountains, well-maintained gardens, and free wi-fi, it offers a restful space amidst the city's bustle.

🎶 Dancing Fountains: Experience the synchronized water shows, especially on weekends.
🛋️ Cozy Benches: Ideal for relaxing or people-watching.
