    Visit to Mexico City

    I think Mexico City is a wonderful place to visit. It is very much like New York City because it has a metro, it is a pedestrian friendly city, there are tons of museums, great food, and a variety of neighborhoods. I would recommend this place to people that love New York City.

    Insider Tip:Here are some tips: -Try and stay in a place close to metro line. -Bring an umbrella. -Not many people speak English here so you should know some Spanish. -Mexico City is fairly safe. You should just be cautious just like you are in any other place you visit. -Drink lots of water because they high altitude might make you feel dizzy and give you headaches.

    Mexico City - underrated

    Mexico City is truly a city that has it all - culture, history, good weather, tasty food, easy to get around, shopping, dining, going out... you name it. As one of the largest cities is in the world, fun is guaranteed.

    Insider Tip:Although you hear a lot of comments about concerns with security, just follow common sense and you'll be fine. At night, it's better to ask your hotel/restaurant/bar to call a cab for you rather than getting one from the street.

    Min day 4

    Beautiful city, but... Up to 2 day to recover jet-lag, smog and altitude. At least 3 day to visit the city.

    Better places in Mexico

    Was pickpocketed the first night there, city is very loud, noisey and some areas dangerous to walk around especially at night. We were only there for 3 days so im sure there are nicer parts

    Insider Tip:Leave your valuables in a safe at the hostle you stay in

    Dont miss D.F.

    great city. very safe. great transport options. keep safe by looking like you know where you are going. people here wont bother you. sooo much to see you really need more than a week. the city is highly polluted is probably the only drawback. also, as with any other city, be careful of your bags. never leave them out of your sight. enjoy D.F. it will be worth it.
