Metro
If you are near a Metro station, take Line 2 (the Blue Line) towards Tasqueña. Get off at the 'Pino Suárez' station. From there, transfer to Line 1 (the Pink Line) at 'Pino Suárez' and head towards Pantitlán. Get off at 'Salto del Agua' station. Once you exit the station, walk towards Avenida Juárez and head southeast. After about a 10-minute walk, turn right onto Dr. Lavista street and you will find Arena México at number 189 on your left.
Bus
Find a nearby bus stop. Look for buses heading towards 'Balderas' or 'Cuauhtémoc'. Get on the bus and ask the driver to let you know when you reach 'Dr. Lavista' street. Disembark once you are near the intersection of Dr. Lavista and Avenida Cuauhtémoc. From there, walk along Dr. Lavista street towards the north, and Arena México will be on your right at number 189.
Walking
If you are in the nearby neighborhoods of Doctores or Cuauhtémoc, simply walk to Dr. Lavista street. Look for the building number 189, which is where Arena México is located. It is a prominent venue, so you should be able to see it from a distance. If you are unsure, ask locals for directions to Arena México.
