Angel of Independence (El Ángel)
  • The Angel of Independence is a common gathering point for feminist marches, political protests, and cultural processions in Mexico City.

  • You’ll often find quinceañeras having professional photographs taken in poofy ball gowns at the base of the Angel of Independence—try not to ruin their shot!

  • You can tour the mausoleum at the base of the El Ángel but to climb the 200 stairs to the top you must ask for a special permit in advance.

  • Claustrophobic or unfit visitors may wish to skip the steep and narrow climb altogether.

  • Look out for the tombs of Ignacio Allende, Miguel Hidalgo, and journalist and activist Leona Vicario in the mausoleum.

  • The Angel of Independence is surrounded by steps and is therefore not accessible for wheelchair users.
