General information
editMetro Hidalgo'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.[2][3] The station's icon depicts the profile of Hidalgo.
Metro Hidalgo was opened along Line 2 on 14 September 1970.[4] Service along Line 3 started on 20 November 1970.[4]
The station also connects with trolleybus Line "LL", which runs between this metro station and the Colonia San Felipe de Jesús district.[5] The station has an information desk, facilities for the handicapped, and a cultural display.[2]
The station is also close to Paseo de la Reforma, an important avenue that crosses downtown Mexico City and leads to Chapultepec Park.[6] Some of the station exits are located on the west end of the Alameda Central, a large ornamental park.[2][7][8] On the east end of the Alameda stands the Palacio de Bellas Artes.[9] On the west end, near Metro Hidalgo, is the Museo Mural Diego Rivera.[10]
The nearby shrine to Saint Jude becomes a place of pilgrimage the 28th of each month.[11][12]
