Metro Hidalgo is a station on Line 2 and Line 3 of the Mexico City Metro system.[1][2] It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City, west of the city centre, on Hidalgo Avenue and serves the Colonia Tabacalera, Colonia Guerrero, and Colonia Centro districts.[1]
The station's name and logo evoke Miguel Hidalgo, the chief instigator of the Mexican War of Independence of 1810, after whom the nearby avenue is named.[1][2] The station was opened along Line 2 on 14 September 1970.[3] Service along Line 3 started on 20 November 1970.[3]
Metro Hidalgo also connects with trolleybus Line "LL", which runs between this metro station and the Colonia San Felipe de Jesús district.[4] The station has an information desk, facilities for the handicapped and a cultural display.[1]
The station is also close to Paseo de la Reforma, an important avenue that crosses downtown Mexico City and leads to Chapultepec Park.[5] Some of the station exits are located on the west end of the Alameda Central, a large ornamental park.[1][6][7] On the east end of the Alameda stands the Palacio de Bellas Artes.[8] On the west end, near Metro Hidalgo, is the Museo Mural Diego Rivera.[9]
The nearby shrine to Saint Jude becomes a place of pilgrimage the 28th of each month.[10][11] It also attracts pilgrims because of a set of floor tiles that are stained in such a way that the silhouette of the Virgin of Guadalupe can be made out; the section of floor has since been removed and put on display in a shrine at one of the Metro station's entrances.
