Mexico City's most Iconic Streets are those that serve as the heart of a neighborhood. There are bigger grander streets. Most of these are avenues or main streets that deserve pages all on their own. The best examples are:

Paseo de la Reforma with its Ten Glorietas
Insurgentes North and South
Francisco Madero in the City Center.
Álvaro Obregón in the heart of Roma Norte

The streets below are lined with private, often much smaller businesses. Each is distinct, and a prominent part of its neighborhood. In many cases, neighborhoods themselves are known, more than anything, for this one street.

Each of them makes a terrific afternoon itinerary, all on its own. That's especially true if you're visiting for the first time.
