The Most Beautiful Plazas in Mexico City

Since Plaza Villa de Madrid was recently revamped, it is not a true Colonia Roma neighborhood gem. With a replica of the grand Cibeles fountain in Madrid, this roundabout once had one of the first neighborhood wells when it was built in the 19th century. Chairs and tables sit around the fountain’s gushing towers of water and you are bound to find tourists taking selfies in from of the giant CDMX sculpture. All around the plaza are great restaurants and places to sit, including Cancino Cibeles Pizza and the Cervecería del Barrio. Durango Street, which leads out from the plaza with a tree-shaded median, is lined with local eateries and shops and is a pleasant route for walking to the La Condesa neighborhood.
