Travel Note

Neighborhood

Condesa: One of Mexico City's trendier areas and is filled with lovely art deco homes, tree-lined streets, leafy parks, and bohemian chic shops, bars & restaurants. Parque Mexico is one of the defining landmarks of the area showing many elements of a European garden, including ponds and walkways. Calle Amsterdam is the most notable street - a large tree-lined oval perfect for morning runs. You will find boutique hotels here and great restaurants.

Flight

MEX Benito Juárez International Airport (Recommended)

Also known as (MEX) the Mexico City International Airport, Benito Juárez is about 20-30 minutes away from Condesa, depending on traffic. If you land during rush hour times in the morning or afternoon, it may take you up to an hour to commute in. United Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Viva Aerobus and Aeromexico have reliable flights to fly in and out of CDMX. That said, we've always flown Viva Aerobus and haven't had any issues...especially from Texas cities like San Antonio and Austin (check San Antonio flights for great deals sometimes). We highly encourage our guests to set up price alerts via "Google Flight Alerts" App to ensure the best flight deal!

Flight

NLU Aeropuerto Internacional Felipe Ángeles

NLU is the new airport in the State of Mexico, located just outside of Mexico City. You may find more affordable tickets flying into NLU. Uber is legally not allowed here so you need to hire a taxi (although there are taxi stands that were easy to navigate at the airport) and it will take much longer to get into the city. We recommend flying into Benito Juarez, but it is ultimately up to you!

Travel Note

Uber

Uber is widely available in Mexico City and is the preferred (and affordable) transportation option. Comfort Ubers from Benito Juarez airport are about $25 USD/$530 pesos. To order from the airport: 1. Walk outside at arrivals. 2. Your location should autofill but if not, type in Benito Juarez Aeropuerto. 3. It’ll ask you to confirm what terminal you’re at and what door you’re being picked up from (there should be huge banners that say what door you’re at). 4. Confirm the license plate matches the app, let them know your name, and confirm your driver’s name before getting in! Note: Uber is not available to Parque Quezalcoatl

Travel Note

Currency Exchange & ATM Usage

We recommend ordering some pesos from your bank before traveling or simply withdrawing pesos from an ATM (at a bank) when in Mexico City using your debit card. Avoid currency exchanges at airports - where fees are high and exchange rates are not favorable! We recommend carrying some cash ($500-$1,000 MXN, approx $25-50 USD) for eating at the local markets or purchasing crafts at the artisanal markets. Most restaurants accept credit card - with or without PIN.
