Angel of Independence (El Ángel) Tours and Tickets
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.
