Colonia Del Valle

如何抵達

Neighborhoods south of downtown are extremely well connected by public transit services. Two Metro lines pass through Del Valle and Narvarte with Metrobus and Trolleybus lines along busy avenues. These neighborhoods are close enough to downtown and other popular parts of the city that Uber or taxi rates are very affordable and there are rarely times when a rideshare app fails to immediately connect you with a driver.

By metro Line 3 (green) Stations: 1 Etiopia, 2 Eugenia, 3 Division del Norte, 4 Zapata, and 5 Coyoacán. Line 12 (gold) Stations: 6 Mixcoac, 7 Hospital 20 de Noviembre, Zapata (connect to Line 3), and 8 Parque de los Venados.

By bus Many Metrobus stations stops in the del Valle area along Insurgentes, beginning with 9 La Piedád, 10 Polyforum, 11 Nápoles, 12 Colonia Del Valle, 13 Ciudad de los Deportes, 14 Parque Hundido, 15 Félix Cuevas, and 16 Río Churubusco. Trolleybus line 1 passes through this section of the city on Eje Lazaro Cardenas with terminal stops at two of the city's biggest bus stations, Autobuses del Norte and Autobuses del Sur (Taxquena).
