Los Pinos
Complejo Cultural Los Pinos
The official residence of Mexico's presidents from 1934 to 2018. Since 2018 it has been a free public cultural center.
Los Pinos is located in the first section of Chapultepec Forest and served as the official residence of Mexican presidents from 1934. In December 2018, after López Obrador took office, he announced that he would no longer live there, and it was opened to the public as a free cultural center. Visitors can enter the main presidential residence building (the Miguel Alemán building), the Lázaro Cárdenas building and other structures. They can see the presidential office, banquet hall, living quarters and underground passage, and view statues of past presidents along the Avenue of the Presidents. The complex also often hosts exhibitions, concerts and markets. Admission is free. It is closed on Mondays, and there is a security check at the entrance. It shares the same area as Chapultepec Castle and the Museum of Anthropology, so you can visit them on the same outing. It is about a 10-minute walk from Constituyentes station on Metro Line 1.
