Playa del Carmen is beautiful but do not go in August it’s extremely hot and the beaches smell bad. I got a heat rash and burned my skin tremendously so I would say definitely visits just not in August
Posted: November 1, 2024I LOVEEEE PVR!! It is one of the safest cities I have ever traveled to. The locals are the nicest, most welcoming people. There’s a really big gay male community there so the nightlife is a lot safer as a woman.
Posted: October 21, 2024It was a good experience, and care should be taken with the places where you are. The food is delicious, but they always charge foreigners exorbitant prices, which was a downside. Sometimes, it's not very safe to go out at night and alone.

I definitely felt safe. It was super cute, I strongly advise renting go-karts. ALSO, the airport is far and I never recommend driving yourself to your destination. I highly recommend hiring a car service to pick you up, help with your luggage and drive you to your air bnb.
Posted: September 12, 2024I always love the experiences that I have whenever I go to Mexico. I never really feel unsafe, but people that I have traveled with in the past have felt unsafe. I would always travel to Mexico anytime I could.

Overall awesome trip! Beach was perfect and some of the best sand and water i’ve ever seen. Food was super yummy and not too expensive if you find the right place. I was able to walk back to my airbnb at night by myself and felt pretty safe.
Posted: September 4, 2024Went 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!

Very nice island! Very beautiful beach, with a lot of restaurants with a view on the sea. We spent a great time relaxing and exploring the island. It s a bit noisy with all the buggies but overall great experience?

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!

Overall I felt safe, but I’d recommend befriending some locals to get around and really know the areas. I traveled alone a lot, but there’s some neighborhoods where you should avoid this. Some basic Spanish will get you a long way, staying in areas like Escandon, Roma, Polanco and around Parque Mexico will keep you safe in general. I would go out alone at night after 10pm or take an Uber to get to bars. Also make sure you have a Mexican SIM card to avoid having no service when you need it!

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.

Hi I’m Jimena I’m a Mexican-American solo female traveler currently on a trip around Europe I would love to use this experience to meet people and learn their culture. I can also would love to share stories of life and just experience the city through your eyes. I personally started traveling when I was young through Mexico seeing the pyramids and the rich culture of my country inspired me to travel outside when i could. I could give you recommendations for Mexico and help you with your Spanish. Nos vemos! ☺️
