Paseo de la Reforma and Zona Rosa
P
ASEO DE LA REFORMA WAS BUILT
in 1865 at the direction of Emperor
Maximilian I on the lines of Paris's Champs-Élysées. Today this broad
boulevard is one of the city's showpieces, a major thoroughfare with
gleaming monuments of marble and gold punctuating the grand traffic
circles, the
glorietas
. It offers pedestrians a beautiful promenade of shady
trees, flower gardens, bronze statues, and park benches. Zona Rosa, an
eclectic area of sidewalk cafés, fine restaurants, mid-size hotels, diverse
shopping venues, and pulsating nightlife is on the south of the boulevard.
