Planning your trip to Mexico City
Best time to visit
March to May is warm and dry, and October and November are pleasant, with the Day of the Dead events in early November. Summer brings regular afternoon rain.
How many days you need
Four to five days covers the historic center, several museums, a few neighborhoods and a day trip to an ancient site outside the city. The city sits at high altitude, so take the first day easy and drink plenty of water.
Getting around
The Metro is cheap but crowded at peak hours. Ride-hailing apps are a popular and convenient choice, and many neighborhoods are good for walking. Use official taxi stands or apps instead of hailing unmarked cabs.
What to skip
The restaurants right around the main square are priced for visitors. Neighborhoods such as Roma, Condesa and Coyoacan have a wide range of places at local prices.
