Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.
