You generally feel safe in Mexico City if you’re in the “good” side of the city. People are super friendly, the transportation system is efficient and the food is amazing!!! Don’t miss churrería el Moro, the best churros I’ve tried!!! For good tacos go to el cocuyo, so good!

I had an incredible experience in Mexico City. It is a massive, bustling, vibrant city with a million things to explore. My family hit the main tourist attractions, including Frida Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s houses, Chapultapec Castle, walking around La Condesa and nearby artsy neighborhoods, going to the Zócalo, and going to various markets such as Mercado de la Merced.

I had amazing time with family and friends, I initially had no idea what Mexico City would be like, but as the time went on I realized on my own terms how incredible the city is. There’s is so much to do and the food is delicious.
Posted: July 14, 2025Mexico City is such a beautiful city with many fun things to do and wonderful food! If I had any trouble getting around or getting clarification on something, people were very kind and helpful! I felt mostly safe as a solo traveler, just still on guard as normal, just to be on the safe side. I HIGHLY recommend going to Teotihuacán (it’s about 45 min to an hour outside of Mexico City, worth it!!) to do the hot air balloon ride over the pyramids at sunrise. I’ve also heard Tolantongo is a...

I wouldn't recommend talking to older men in general. Public transportation is safe due to the separation between men and women, but you should be careful on buses (always buy something from the vendors who get on). Don't go out alone too late at night and don't accept alcoholic drinks, whether prepared or opened, in establishments without checking them first. Although the city is generally safe for foreigners.
Posted: June 11, 2026In general, it's very safe, you just need to be cautious on public transportation, keep your phone secure, and hold your bag in front of you and hug it so there's no risk of someone opening it.
Posted: May 6, 2026You should do your research and stay in “safe” areas like Condesa, Roma, Polanco. Do your exploring during the day and avoid sketchy areas. Always be mindful of your surroundings and belonging as there can be a lot of thefts, keep your cellphone and wallet out of sight, don’t wear valuables like jewellery and watches. Keep it simple. Also keep in mind that harassment is very common, so just beware, specially in crowded areas. Don’t walk alone at night, stay in well-lit areas and don’t use...
