Metro Chapultepec is a station on the Mexico City Metro, Mexico. It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough in the centre of Mexico City.
The station logo depicts a grasshopper (chapulín). The station's name comes from the Bosque de Chapultepec, a large nearby park that contains a hill with the same name. Chapultepec means "grasshopper hill", in Nahuatl.
Metro Chapultepec serves Line 1 only. Despite not being either a terminal or a transfer station for other metro lines, however, the station plays an important role as a bus transfer station, connecting with a vast array of microbuses that service the north of Mexico City and areas in the adjacent State of México, such as Ciudad Satélite, Valle Dorado, Arboledas and Cuautitlán Izcalli. It also connects with two trolleybus lines – one runs between Chapultepec and Metro El Rosario, and the other to the arterial thoroughfares known as Eje 2 Sur and Eje 2A Sur.
Metro Chapultepec has an information desk; the station forecourt also contains a collection of retail stores, including a clothes boutique, a drugstore and a record store.
