Is Mexico City Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

My opinion, it was very safe during the day but I didn't go out alone in the evening, there are a lots of activities to do for free or really not expensive likes parks or museum. Hostel was pretty good, not expensive, good localisation with breakfasts including

Mexico City is a huge international city with a ton to offer. The food is amazing, museums are great, and there are plenty of tours that can be set up by your hostel or hotel. It’s safe in certain areas but I wouldn’t walk around in many places at night. Definitely be aware of your surroundings. It was expensive.

I spent a month in Mexico City, alone. The capital is a real jungle, so it's good to know where you can move around without worries (Roma Norte, Condesa, Polanco, Coyoacán) and which places are better to avoid. I recommend using Uber, not walking alone at night, using common sense, marking tourist spots on your map, and not walking with your phone in your hand. Mexico City is a beautiful city with countless museums, exhibitions, amazing food, and very friendly people. The Yucatan Peninsula is a Caribbean paradise, with lots of tourists and beautiful places - divine cenotes, great diving spots, historical ruins, and wonderful restaurants.

I loved Mexico City and I felt very safe. I stayed in La Condesa for the first part of my trip and Polanco for the second part. Both were great but I loved La Condesa, so much more character and amazing restaurants over there. I would even go for runs in the morning solo and it was fine.

I did seven days and I could have just moved here I highly recommend visiting Teotihuacan (pyramids of the sun and moon, day trip), Museo Nacional de Antropologia (incredible history museum, has really cool displays of all different Mexican indigenous groups), Casa Azul (Frida Kahlo’s house, amazing), Xochimilco (canals with floating boats). There is so much to do in Mexico City, there are really cool neighborhoods of Coyoacán and Condesa. I don’t recommend using taxis in Mexico City (use Uber) or going near the neighborhood of Tepito. Be wary of your things in the metro if you use it.

Mexico City was fine for me, I walked around all day alone, I just stayed in the center square near my hotel at night but there are night markets so busy and safe until at least midnight. Can be dodgy if you leave the tourist areas but other than that it’s safe.

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.

There are several things that must be in your “to do list” when visiting Mexico City: - Eat the most delicious tostadas you would find and drink a “chocofrio” as a dessert in Coyoacan. - Visit “ Templo Mayor” and “la Catedral” - Enjoy Palacio de Bellas Artes’ view while getting a Delicious coffee or chocolate at “Porfirios” - As must seen museums you can visit: Castillo de Chapultepec, casa de Frida Kahlo, Museo de Memoria y Tolerancia and Museo de Antropología

There’s a lot of day/weekend trips you can take from Mexico City!!! Most are pueblo mágicos (small magical towns): Tepoztlan, Taxco, San Miguel Allende, Guanajato, Valle de Bravo, Grutas Tolontongo. And of course you can do a day trip to teotihuacan! (The pyramids- and if you can do the hot air balloon trip over the pyramids I def recommend it) Look up tianguis (food markets) that happen around Mexico City each day- the nieghborhood changes based on the day. There are websites that give that info!! Go to Castillo de chapultapec for one day! Try all the street tacos and my favorite drink- pulque! Also you’d want to stay in the Condesa/Roma area!! Around Parque México/parque España!
