Paseo Montejo
The Montejo Boulevard is a contrast of European elegance, a wide avenue inspired by the French boulevards that exhibit majestic houses built during the late XIX century and the beginning of the XX century. These mansions that reflect the opulence of those times now host hotels, museums, and restaurants. Walking through Paseo Montejo is an architectural trip through Yucatan’s economic history, with the Monumento a la Patria being its sculptural culmination.
