Timeline
09:00
Start with breakfast at Los Portales Pachuca. The modern restaurant serves hot cakes, molletes, and omelettes, offering a clean and quiet place to begin the day before the crowds arrive.
09:40
Walk 11 minutes ENE to Plaza Juárez. This main square is the heart of the city, framed by the state capital building and the municipal theater. It is the perfect spot to soak in the colonial atmosphere.
10:00
Grab a quick bite at Pastes "Real de Plateros" within the square. Order a paste with meat or chorizo and take it to the monumental clock to eat outside, just like the locals do.
10:20
End the walk at Sotero for a refined finish. This upscale spot serves traditional regional Mexican cuisine with creative cocktails. Try the rabbit or the octopus to close out the afternoon.
