Is Mexico City Safe?

This is often a big question! Like any major city, it’s wise to be aware of your surroundings. Tourist areas like the Historic Center, Roma Norte, Condesa, Polanco, and Coyoacán are generally safe, especially during the day. Our Mexico City tours stick to these well-trodden paths and our local guides always prioritize your well-being, offering tips to stay street-smart. For example, they'll advise on secure transport options for your free time.

When is the Best Time to Visit Mexico City?

Mexico City generally boasts a mild climate year-round.

March to May: Warm and dry, lovely for exploring. Flowers are in bloom!

June to September: Rainy season, but usually means afternoon showers, with mornings often clear. The city is lush and green.

October to November: Pleasant temperatures, and you might catch the incredible Day of the Dead celebrations (book your Mexico City tours well in advance for this!).

December to February: Cooler, especially at night, but generally sunny days. Perfect for sightseeing without the intense heat.

What's the Best Way to Get Around?

While CDMX has a metro, it can get crowded. Ride-sharing apps are popular and generally reliable. For many key attractions, especially those outside the immediate city center like Teotihuacan, joining one of our Mexico City excursions is a fantastic stress-free option – comfortable transport is usually included!
