Paseo Santa Lucía
A 2.5-kilometer artificial river channel linking Macroplaza and Parque Fundidora, which you can explore on foot or by sightseeing boat.
The Paseo Santa Lucía is an artificial river channel about 2.5 kilometers long. It runs from the Museum of Mexican History in the west to Parque Fundidora in the east, and both banks have walkways, fountains, sculptures and restaurants. A sightseeing boat takes about 30 to 40 minutes one way. It is the most relaxing way to link the two major sites, and the lights at night are especially beautiful. Boat tickets cost a few dozen pesos. Check the pier notices for the time of the last departure. You can also walk or ride a bicycle, and the whole route is flat.
