Forum Buenavista is one of Mexico City’s largest and newest shopping centers, a 37,250-square-meter mall built directly atop Buenavista train station in the Colonia Buenavista neighborhood. It’s anchored by Sears, Fábricas de Francia, and Coppel department stores, alongside more than 150 shops including Zara, H&M, Nike, and a Best Buy and Soriana hypermarket.
The mall’s top floor houses an ice skating rink, bowling, and arcade games alongside a busy food court, while a 14-screen Cinépolis multiplex and more than 50 restaurants round out the entertainment options. Forum Buenavista also runs regular events, from fashion shows and live music to fitness classes and children’s activities.
It sits right next to Buenavista Metro station and the Vasconcelos Library, making it a convenient stop to combine with a walk through the Santa María la Ribera neighborhood; hours run 11 AM to 8:30 PM most days, with slightly later closing on Saturdays.
