Airport
Airport Code: MEX (Benito Juárez International Airport)
6 Month Validity: Mexico requires a minimum of 6 months validity on your passport when you enter the country.
Tourist Visas: Most visitors do not require a visa and can enter Mexico for up to 180 days. Please check to see if you require a visa.
You'll be flying into Benito Suarez International Airport (MEX). We would highly recommend downloading Uber or Didi for getting around town; it's convenient, especially if your Spanish isn't the best, and extremely affordable. Don't get in a random taxi, especially at the airport
Transport
Uber is extremely safe, convenient, and affordable and should cost around $8.00 USD ($160 MXN) for the ~30 minute trip from the airport to the major accommodation locations (Condesa, Roma, Juarez or Polanco).
Travel Tips
October brings sunny, dry days with average temperatures of 79°F (26°C) during the day and 48°F (9°C) at night. Mexico City sits at 7,350 feet (2,240 m) above sea level, over 2,000 feet higher than Denver, so staying hydrated and taking it easy on your first day can help you adjust to the altitude.
Clothing: Since Mexico is “high and dry,” you will feel much cooler than you might expect. We highly suggest a light jacket/shawl for the evenings. Men traditionally wear long pants (trousers) - shorts are typically only worn by tourists.
What to pack: During the day most people will feel comfortable in casual attire (t-shirt and pants, long dress), keeping in mind it can get chilly at night.
Chargers/converters: Just like the US and Canada, Mexico uses Type A and B plugs and operates on 127V supply voltage and 60Hz.
Currency: Mexico uses the Peso, which can be withdrawn from any ATM using your debit card. You should carry some cash ($500-$1,000 MXN, approx $25-50 USD) for eating at the local markets, buying items from street vendors, or purchasing crafts at the artisanal markets. Most stores and sit-down restaurants accept credit/debit cards.
Safety: Mexico City in general is very safe - especially the neighborhoods of Condesa, Roma, Juarez, and Polanco. However, like any big city, you should be aware of your surroundings and don’t venture into areas that don’t “feel safe”.
Drinking tap water: We suggest drinking bottled water only (brushing your teeth, showering, washing dishes, etc. is all perfectly fine with tap water).
