Full guideLast updated: 11/07/2026

🗓️Best time to visit

March–May and October–November; summer rains arrive punctually each afternoon.

📸Top activities & landmarks

  • Zócalo, cathedral, Palacio de Bellas Artes
  • The Anthropology Museum (half day minimum)
  • Teotihuacán in the morning
  • Xochimilco's painted trajineras
  • Coyoacán and the Frida Kahlo house (pre-book)

🏨Where to stay

Roma Norte, Condesa or Polanco — safe, leafy, best dining.

⚠️Tips & warnings

Uber only, never street cabs, and keep to known districts at night. The altitude is real: go easy day one, double the water. Stomach adjustment is a thing — restaurants over street stalls the first days.
