Question

🚕 Getting Around

Answer

Is Uber available in Mexico City? Yes — Uber is widely used, safe, and very convenient throughout Mexico City. Should I rent a car? No — we don’t recommend renting a car.

Many neighborhoods like Polanco, Roma, and Condesa are also very walkable, so you may not need transportation for short distances.

Question

⛰️ Altitude

Answer

Mexico City sits at about 7,300 feet (Denver is 5,280 ft), so you may feel the altitude when you first arrive. It’s normal to feel a bit more tired or winded for a day or two, and alcohol may feel stronger. We recommend taking it easy, staying hydrated, and giving your body a little time to adjust.
