I just traveled to Mexico City for 4 days solo and it was awesome. I cannot say enough about how fantastic it is for solo travelers. I stayed in Roma Norte and felt very safe. The food was epic. The city has everything, from history, museums to boutiques and restaurants. I can’t wait to go back.

Mexico City was amazing! I stayed in a nice Airbnb in Condesa. Everyone was really nice, the city felt safe, and the food was yummy. I want to go back soon! I was there for 7 nights and also spent 4 nights in Tulum. I did a lot of things like Xochimilco, visited the Zocalo, cathedral, and presidential palace, saw the Ballet Folklorico, went to Museo Frida Kahlo and Coyoacán, walked around Condesa, went to Teotihuacan, and visited the Museum of Anthropology.

I loved Mexico City. I’ve never felt unsafe in most places in the city. There’s so much to see there, from the markets to museums and cultural sites. My favorite market was near the Frida Museum in Coyacan. I also loved the Folk Art Museum and the Lucha Libre wrestling. The subway is cheap but often very crowded. Uber is super cheap and easy to use.

I did three nights in Mexico City solo and I absolutely loved it. I stayed in the historic district and found it super convenient. I felt so comfortable there taking Uber everywhere. There is so much to do and see. My favorites were Templo Mayor, The Diego Rivera Murals and the Catedral Metropolitana. Cafe De Tacuba was my absolute favorite food.

I felt very safe. I explored the Roma Nte, Roma Sur, and La Condesa neighborhoods, mostly on foot. Uber was super easy and inexpensive as well. I did an amazing guided tour of the temples which I highly recommend.

I loved Mexico City. I went there solo during the summer and felt super safe. I took the basic precautions I would in any major city, but felt super comfortable and at ease (I didn't go out at night).

I have spent a couple of months total in CDMX and it is one of my favorite cities to visit. I found it very safe and easy to navigate. Never felt unsafe or uneasy and lived life normally, going out, exploring on my own, taking taxis, meeting people, etc.

I was in Mexico City solo and found it to be crazily polluted with tons of traffic and huge buildings. Food wasn’t a highlight for me either as I’m vegetarian and they eat a lot of meat in Mexico. I couldn’t find any parties, even on a Friday night, I was walking around Roma and Condesa, and just couldn’t find anywhere to go. Maybe I just got unlucky. I really didn’t enjoy it and wouldn’t return.

Took free walking tours. Visited San Juan market, cathedral, museums, the castle, Frida’s house, and took a boat ride. Great food everywhere. Uber was easy and cheap. Stayed in the Juarez area near Roma. Always felt safe, weather was perfect.

I only stayed in the more tourist areas and didn't go around too much at night, but I felt very safe, with a lot of police everywhere. It was also a happy surprise to see that the last few wagons of the metro were reserved for women.
