Zona Rosa — Calle Amberes Gay District ⚠ Unverified Own this place?

Zona Rosa, inside Colonia Juárez, has been Mexico City's best-known gay district since the 1970s, when the first openly gay bars and clubs opened there. Its centre is pedestrianised Calle Amberes, often called the gayest street in Mexico, lined with bars, clubs, cafés and shops, with rainbow crosswalks underfoot. The area also has a Korean commercial quarter, so restaurants and karaoke share the blocks. The district comes alive in the evenings, busiest Thursday to Sunday. Insurgentes Metro station is a few minutes' walk away, and Paseo de la Reforma, along the district's edge, is the route of the city's large June Pride march. Watch your phone and wallet in crowded streets late at night.
