Mexico is very safe for tourists! Is you can, stay in the tourists areas just to be sure. Condesa, Roma, Juarez, Coyoacán, Del Valley, Narvarte, San Pedro de los Pinos, Polanco and Santa Fe are the safest neighborhoods so if you can, stay there. Condesa, Roma and Juarez are super centric so I would recommend those in particular.

Mexico City is not very safe, but as a woman, you can take some advice to stay safe. Avoid certain places, especially at night. The safest places are Coyoacán, Roma, Condesa, and the city center.
Posted: October 26, 2024Like in an other cities Mexico City have some areas where is more provably that you suffer any robbery but in general you can feel free around the city. In my personal experience I never been in any danger situations.

Use common sense, follow intuition Is not a City to walk alone at nigth (not every where) But it's safe to travel in metrobus and metro, plus there's a woman area in each of these Be careful with your things well kept while traveling

Mexico City is safe as long as you stay in the touristic areas: Chapultepec, Condesa, Roma, Polanco, and its better to avoid public transportation and walking alone at night. Mexicans are really nice people, but don’t trust everyone and don’t overshare information about you traveling alone.

It is better not to be alone at night and the the safety is very different among the areas. There are safe places, during the day, there is no problem, and it is okay to walk around without any risk.
Posted: August 3, 2024I haven’t had any security issues and I have lived there for 6 years years. As long as you are aware of your surroundings and take ordinary precautions (eg uber at night, about bad areas), it’s a safe city.
Posted: July 30, 2024I been living in this city since I was a child, in general you can feel safe here in the city but also you have to use your common sense, don’t go in the middle of the night to tepito 🙈 , try to do everything that you want just use common sense
Posted: July 29, 2024Mexico City is huge. I try to avoid difficult neighborhoods as much as I can. As in every big city, there are some places you need to be much careful and in some others you can feel relaxed. I think we always need to be aware of the people surrounding us and their intentions.

Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world. It has it all, both good and bad. Lately, I’ve felt safer regarding gender violence. I am used to walking alone after dark, or to using the public transport on my own. While I probably wouldn’t recommend doing that in your first trip, I have found that it is doable and generally safe.

Went to Mexico City for 20 days Stayed with somebody I know But traveled around alone in Mexico City used über and felt very safe especially because with the app you pre-pay the journey so there is no guessing the price or paying for extra time in traffic jams or wrong turnings Took tour bus to see the city and went to lots of museums were you can literally spend the whole day ! especially the Museo Nacional de Antropología such an amazing place and then the Museo Soumaya free entrance to the most amazing private art collection. Food is delicious and not expensive if you like Mexican food I would recommend La Casa De Toño Craft are amazing too and would recommend the Mercado de Artesanías Zona Rosa Felt safe even when traveling by bus to the pirámides in Teotihuacan Just be aware of your environment and if someone approaches you you don’t start a conversation Mexico City is amazing!

I went to Mexico city as a solo traveler and at first, I was scared of all the things I heard. I met some amazing people in the hostel I was staying at, and I ended up at a Mexican wrestling match which was NOT on my bucket list or anywhere within my itinerary. It ended up being the highlight of my 3 month trip!
