Santa Fe

Located on the west side of Mexico City, this district serves as a modern business and commercial hub characterized by high-rise office buildings. Travelers visit primarily for the retail options, specifically Centro Santa Fe, which is one of the largest shopping malls in Latin America.

Getting There

The district is situated away from the historic center. The most common way to reach it is via taxi or ride-sharing apps. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey from the city center typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes.

Time Allocation

Depending on your interest in shopping or business meetings, allow 3 to 6 hours to explore the mall and the surrounding commercial area.
