Cuauhtémoc is a metro station on the Mexico City Metro Line 1.[2] It is located at the northern extreme of Avenida Cuauhtémoc, in the Cuauhtémoc borough, in the center of Mexico City.[2] Since 9 November 2023, the station has remained closed for modernization work on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.[3]

Name and pictogram

[edit]

The station logo depicts the head of an eagle.[2] The station, avenue, and borough were all named after the Aztec Emperor Cuauhtémoc, whose name means "descending eagle" in Nahuatl.[2] The station receives its name due to being located at the intersection of Avenida Chapultepec and Avenida Cuauhtémoc, in the limits of the Juárez, Roma Norte, Centro and Doctores neighborhoods.

General information

[edit]

This metro station is located near a number of landmarks, such as the up-market Roma and Juárez neighborhoods and the elegant tree-lined boulevard that is Paseo de la Reforma.[2] Also nearby are two museums, the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum[4] and the Mexico City Wax Museum.[5]
