Travel tips

PASSPORT Don't forget to bring your passport! While the Mexican government requires that your passport be valid for the duration of your stay, some airlines may adhere to the U.S. rule requiring passports to have at least six months validity from the date of entry. To avoid any travel disruptions, please verify the passport requirements with your airline(s) before departure. POWER CONVERTERS & ADAPTERS Guests from North America do not need a power converter, as Mexico uses the standard 110V, the same as the US and Canada. TIPPING Tipping is customary and appreciated in Mexico. In restaurants, a tip of 15-20% is standard, and you can tip in either dollars or pesos. For smaller services like taxis or cafes, rounding up or adding a small amount in pesos is also appreciated. WATER SAFETY It's best to drink bottled water during your stay. Avoid ice unless you are certain it is made from purified water. TRANSPORTATION AROUND SAN MIGUEL: Taxis, Ubers, and other rideshare services are readily available and generally safe to use. Agree on fares beforehand when using taxis to avoid confusion. BRING TENNIS SHOES FOR WALKING San Miguel is a highly walkable city and most people prefer to walk everywhere. Part of it’s charm includes its cobblestone streets which, while beautiful, can be tricky to navigate—especially if you don't have the right shoes. We highly recommend wearing tennis shoes or sneakers for comfort as you explore. Flats and sandals may not provide enough support for the uneven surfaces. Heels are a definite no-go! SAFETY TIPS San Miguel de Allende is known for being a very safe destination with little to no crime. However, as with any travel, exercise common sense.
