Question

What is the easiest way to get to San Miguel?

Answer

There are multiple options available. It largely depends on individual preference and the flights available from your town. If there are easy flights to the closer airports (QRO,BJX), we would recommend taking that route. Mexico City may be the cheaper option for those traveling on a budget but it does require a 3.5 hour car ride (see note under the travel tab for more info). Finally, be aware that wherever your first arrival point in Mexico is, is where you will have to go through customs. This means, if your layover is in Mexico City, you will need to claim your bags and navigate the large & busy Mexico City airport to board your connecting flight.

Question

Is it safe to drink the tap water?

Answer

NO. Please make sure you drink only purified or bottled water. We also recommend using purified water for brushing your teeth. Washing veggies and fruits with tap water might be okay but make sure it has completely dried off before consuming. Most restaurants and bars use purified water for ice but we recommend always double checking with your server. A rule of thumb is that is that ice from filtered water is cylindrical with a hole down the middle.

Question

Is San Miguel de Allende Safe?

Answer

Absolutely! San Miguel de Allende is known for its ex-pat community, primarily from the US, Canada, and Europe. This is a considerable income source for San Miguel de Allende. The city is smart. If ex-pats don’t feel safe living there, they won’t come, buy property, and spend money. If the city wants to protect one of its biggest income sources, it must make it a safe place for people to live. Solo travelers (including solo female travelers) are common in San Miguel.
