Understand

Step into Ciudad Satelite, a residential neighborhood established in the late 1950s for the middle to upper class. Over time, this neighborhood and other adjacent old towns became part of the greater area of Mexico City. The municipalities of Naucalpan and Tlalnepantla are home to several industrial parks, attracting numerous multinational companies. If you find yourself in Ciudad Satelite for a business trip, take a break and enjoy a leisurely lunch or hang out in this vibrant neighborhood.

Get in

Reaching Ciudad Satelite presents a unique transportation challenge as there is no Metro connection. Fear not, as there are alternative ways to arrive at this bustling destination. You can hop on a bus or microbus that conveniently departs from Metro stations such as Chapultepec, Rosario, or Cuatro Caminos. Another option is to take a taxi for a hassle-free journey. If you prefer driving, brace yourself for the reality of Mexico City traffic. The main highway, known as "Periferico," is perpetually congested, offering average speeds of no more than 10 km/h throughout the day and night. Traveling from Polanco to Plaza Satelite in rush hour can take up to a painstaking 2 hours. However, if you travel against the traffic flow (North to South in the morning and vice versa in the evening), you may find some relief, although there are no guarantees of reaching your destination on time. Therefore, it's essential to plan your journey and take necessary precautions to ensure a successful arrival at Ciudad Satelite.
