Quick Guide: Reforma Walk Details

The best way to experience Avenida Paseo de la Reforma is on foot or riding a bike. While it’s a great walk any day of the week, Sundays are the best time to visit.

That’s when when the city closes Reforma to motorized vehicles, and the pedestrians cyclists, roller bladers, and dog walkers take over.
