Question
What's the best way to get around Mexico City?
Answer
Ubers are our favorite way to travel and you can schedule ahead as desired through the app. They are inexpensive and reliable. ALWAYS go through the Uber app, do not accept "Uber" rides that are not booked through the app. La Condesa and Roma Norte are generally safe neighborhoods and great for walking. Some other neighborhoods you may want to explore are Polanco, Zona Rosa, Juarez & Coyoacan. Beyond those, we suggest using cars to get around as we're less familiar.
