Metro Juárez is a metro station on the Mexico City Metro.[1][2] It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City.[1]

The station logo depicts the bust of Benito Juárez (1806-1872), a Mexican lawyer and politician of Zapotec origin from Oaxaca who served five terms as the president of Mexico: 1858–1861 as interim, then 1861–1865, 1865–1867, 1867–1871 and 1871–1872 as constitutional president.[1][2] This station's name, along with Metro Guelatao, refers to this Mexican politician[3] and is located close to Juárez Avenue. The station opened on 20 November 1970, and has facilities for the handicapped.[1][4]

Metro Juárez serves the Centro neighbourhood, near the downtown area of the city.[1] It is located on Balderas Avenue,[1] and the walk from the station to the important Eje Central Lazaro Cardenas Avenue has many specialty stores.[5]
