Polanco

Polanco, Upscale neighborhood in Mexico City, Mexico

Description

Polanco stretches across five sections along Presidente Masaryk Avenue in Mexico City with modern buildings, gardens, and international shops. The district borders Chapultepec Park to the south and connects through main roads such as Paseo de la Reforma to other parts of the city.

History

The area developed from 1937 onwards on lands of Hacienda de los Morales and received its name from a river. Urbanization gradually transformed the grounds into a residential district with a modern character.

Culture

The district takes its name from a river that once flowed through what is now Campos Elíseos Avenue and shapes cultural life with numerous galleries and art spaces. International influences appear in the dining scene around Presidente Masaryk, while parks such as Lincoln serve as meeting points.

Practical

The streets in the district are mostly flat and suitable for walking, while several public transport options provide connections to other parts of the city. Parks and squares offer resting points during a walk.

Did you know?

Parque Lincoln includes a clock tower, water features, an open-air theater, and an aviary amid the urban space. These elements make the park an attraction for residents and visitors alike.
