Money-saving tips for Mexico City
- Eat where the lines are: street and market tacos are the best food in town for $1–2.
- Use the metro (a few pesos a ride) or Uber, which is cheap and safe for groups splitting a car.
- Many museums are free on Sundays for residents and cheap year-round — the Anthropology Museum is a few dollars.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mexico City safe for tourists?
The main visitor areas (Roma, Condesa, Centro, Coyoacán) are well-touristed and fine with normal city caution. Use Uber at night rather than hailing cabs.
How do you get to Teotihuacán?
It’s about an hour out — take a tour, a bus from Terminal Norte, or split an Uber as a group.
