Start with a traditional pulque at Pulqueria Spiritu Santo. This spot draws a young, bohemian crowd and serves natural and cured pulques with innovative fruit flavors like apple and mango. It is best to arrive early to secure a seat before the evening rush.

Walk to the Monumento a la Independencia (El Ángel). This victory column stands on a roundabout over Paseo de la Reforma. Arrive here just before the golden light begins to bathe the column in warm hues, offering the perfect backdrop for photos and contemplation.

End the evening at Tokyo, a cocktail bar with an enormous collection of vinyl records. The DJ keeps the tunes spinning while you sip some of the tastiest cocktails in the Zona Rosa. The atmosphere is fun and lively, providing a vibrant conclusion to your sunset walk.
Local tip
