PRATİK BİLGİLER

Gitmeden bilmen gerekenler.

Turist tuzağı, SIM kart, nakit/kart, taksi ve güvenlik — beş soruda şehrin gerçeği.

Biggest tourist mistake

Sprinting on day one without respecting the altitude — 2,240 m gives real headaches; start slow.

SIM card & internet

Telcel has the best coverage; even OXXO shops sell SIMs.

Cash or card?

Cash and card mix; taco stands want pesos, and big notes are hard to break on the street.

Taxi & transport apps

Uber/DiDi are standard and safe; never hail street cabs, use the official 'sitio' desk at the airport.

Safety

The tourist corridor (Roma, Condesa, Centro) is fine; skip Tepito and Doctores, and go door-to-door by Uber at night.

CITY PULSE

Şehrin 24 saatlik ritmi.

İbreyi istediğin saate döndür; o saatte nerede olman gerektiğini söylesin.

Must Do

  • Do Teotihuacán on a Sunday — the mood is festive.

  • Taste mole in three different colours.

Avoid These

  • Street taxis at the airport; use the official 'sitio' desks.
  • Tap water.
  • A packed first day — 2,240 m of altitude is real.

Tips
