Benito Juárez

The landmark. The World Trade Center tower —the WTC to everyone in the capital— is the skyscraper that marks this borough south of the downtown area. At the top is the only revolving restaurant in the city, which completes a full circle every hour; below it sits one of the main business and convention centres, where the city's big trade fairs are held.

What else is here. Benito Juárez covers the colonias where much of the city actually lives and eats: Del Valle, Nápoles, Narvarte, Portales and Mixcoac. It holds the Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros with the largest mural in the world, the Parque Hundido, the Alameda Nápoles and the Mixcoac archaeological site.

Getting around. Metro Line 7 and Metrobús Line 1 run along the western side, Line 3 and Line 12 cross it, and Insurgentes Sur is the main axis —useful to know, because this is one of the best-connected boroughs for public transport in the city.
