About this experience

The historic center of Mexico City is very rich in culture, possibly the most eclectic region of the city, since all social classes coexist in the same space and all eras of the city emerge. Skating in spaces like the Alameda, which has a marble floor, or in the Zócalo, with an approximate skateable surface of 46,800 m², or in Plaza Tlaxcoaque, a recently recovered square, is a unique experience for any skater. Furthermore, despite the number of people who pass through there, the historic center has streets reserved for skating or bicycles, such as 16 de Septiembre, which have a good surface for skating.
If you like skating, this is definitely an opportunity you can't miss!
