Question

Is San Miguel de Allende safe?

Answer

San Miguel de Allende was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 and is a true tourist destination. Locals, including the 20% of ex-pat Americans who live there permanently, are very friendly and welcoming to tourists. San Miguel is a very safe place; however, we would ask that you use common sense as when you are traveling anywhere, whether in the US or internationally.

Question

How do I get around San Miguel de Allende?

Answer

WALK Once you arrive in San Miguel, getting around is easy. Walking is the best and most fun way to get around. The city is extremely pedestrian-friendly and small enough that you hardly ever need to take a cab - even at night. Most of the streets are narrow with old, uneven cobblestones so be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes! TAXI Taxis are incredibly cheap, safe and plentiful throughout San Miguel! If needed, you can hail a cab from almost anywhere. Taxis are green and white and cost approximately 30 pesos ($2 USD) during the day. Fares are typically higher at night but no more than 60 pesos. Taxis in San Miguel do not have meters and only accept pesos. Very few drivers have change so be sure to have a stash of small bills with you and remember to tip 10-15% of your fare. UBER For those that prefer door-to-door service, there are several reputable companies that offer private car service. One of the best is San Miguel Driver. San Miguel even has Uber!
