3 Best Performing Arts Venues in Benito Juárez, Mexico City

Since its opening in 2012, the Pepsi Center WTC has quickly risen to fame as one of the most modern concert venues in Mexico. With a capacity of 7,500 people, it's much smaller (and therefore slightly more intimate) than the other local arenas of Foro Sol, Estadio Azteca, and Palacio de los Deportes. It regularly receives international touring acts and sells out quickly. 

With a Diego Rivera mural covering 5,920 square feet of space above its entrance, this 1,000-seat theater intrigues from its stately location along Insurgentes Avenue. Opened in 1953, it regularly hosts theatrical works, concerts, and even the occasional sporting event. Even if you don’t get a chance to see a performance in this historic theater, even just glimpsing it from the street invites its own fair share of drama as the Rivera mural represents the theatrics of Mexico, from Mexica rituals to scenes of the Mexican Revolution and 20th-century film stars.
