The Ángel de la Independencia is Mexico City's most iconic landmark—a stunning golden-topped monument symbolizing Mexican independence and national pride, set in a grand roundabout on Paseo de la Reforma. It's excellent for photography at any time of day, especially at sunset, sunrise, or night. Note that there's no pedestrian crossing to access it; the busy roundabout has heavy traffic, so cross carefully.
