Quick ride by bicycle from Iztapalapa to Mexico City

Hop on your bike in Iztapalapa, a bustling borough known for its vibrant street art and annual Easter passion play, and set off on a nearly 18 km route to the heart of Mexico City. The route is mostly flat (only about 20 meters of ascent and descent), making it perfect for an easy ride. You’ll mostly enjoy quiet roads and smooth asphalt, so it’s a stress-free cruise, though you’ll briefly share space with a few busier streets—just stay alert!
