How to get to the Cosmovitral de Toluca by public transportation?
This space is located in downtown Toluca, right on Lerdo de Tejada Avenue at the corner of Juárez. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The price to enter the Cosmovitral de Toluca is $25; however, on Wednesdays, admission is free.
To get there by public transport, you need to take the Mexico-Toluca Interurban Train. The Observatorio station (which connects to the Metro) is not yet open, so you should go to the Santa Fe station.
You can get there using the Chapultepec Cablebus. Just get off at the Vasco de Quiroga station and then take a bus to the Santa Fe Shopping Center. You can also get to that Interurban Train station by taking a bus from the Observatorio or Tacubaya Metro stations.
Once you are on board the Interurban Train, you must get off at Toluca Centro station. From there, you can take a taxi or bus to the downtown area, where the Cosmovitral is located. It is about 15 minutes away.
Keep in mind that, for now, the Interurban Train costs $60 per person (from Santa Fe to the State of Mexico) and you can pay with your integrated mobility card.
