Insurgentes is an under-reconstruction[2]station on theLine 1 ofMexico City Metro.[3][4] It is located within theGlorieta de los Insurgentes at the intersection ofAvenida de los Insurgentes andAvenida Chapultepec inMexico City'sCuauhtémoc borough, close to theZona Rosa shopping and entertainment district and theColonia Roma, two of the most iconic neighborhoods in the city.[3] In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 65,134 passengers per day, making it the 12th busiest station in the network.[5] From November 2023 to April 2025, the station remained closed for modernization work on the tunnel and the line's technical equipment.[6]
Insurgentes receives its name fromAvenida de los Insurgentes, one ofMexico City's most important thoroughfares, the station is located under the intersection of Insurgentes andAvenida Chapultepec.
The station pictogram depicts the church bell ofDolores Hidalgo, a symbol of the start of theMexican War of Independence (1810) and the eleven-year-long insurgency that followed.[3][4]
Metro Insurgentes was built in a particular style. Surrounding the station is a circular shopping mall-cum-plaza, called the Glorieta de los Insurgentes.[7][8][9] The station's exterior walls are intended to evoke pre-Hispanic architecture, while the platform walls are decorated with mock-ups of platforms from theParis Métro and theLondon Underground. The station was opened on 5 September 1969.[10] Exterior shots of the plaza and metro entrance were used in the 1990 motion pictureTotal Recall.[11]
This is an important station for bus transfers, connecting with an extensive local network of urban buses (RTP, or Red de Transporte de Pasajeros) that serves zones likeVilla Olímpica andTlalpan, south of the city, andMetro Indios Verdes, north of the city.[12] TheInsurgentes Metrobúsbus rapid transit line also has a stop in the vicinity of Metro Insurgentes.[13]
In recent years, the Glorieta de los Insurgentes (and, therefore, the station itself), has been a meeting and starting point for some social and political rallies; for example, in December 2019, it was used as a meeting point for several feminist rallies.[14]
The station serves the followingneighborhoods:Colonia Juárez andColonia Roma Norte.
