๐ŸšถAvenida Amsterdam, an elliptical street that encircles the Hipรณdromo area of ๐ŸŒณCondesa, is one of the prettiest spots in Mexico City, thanks to its iconic tree-lined roadways and pedestrian-friendly median.

Come along with me as I walk the 1.2-mile loop that follows the path of a former horse-racing track. You can cover the circuit in about 20 minutesโ€”less if youโ€™re joining the runners and joggers on the route. But if you take your time, you can check out cute cafรฉs, shops, and circular plazas along the way.

Walk inward about a block from Avenida Amsterdam at any point and youโ€™ll reach๐ŸŒณ Parque Mรฉxico, a large, shady park you can explore. Be sure to admire the well-behaved ๐Ÿ• dogs of Mexico City while youโ€™re there.
