Question

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and reception will take place outdoors. Comfortable shoes are encouraged. There's a coat check if you want to change into some sneakers or flats for the serious dance floor action during the reception.

Question

Will there be vegetarian or dietary options?

Answer

Yes! There will be a place to indicate any dietary needs and allergies when you RSVP. Right off the bat there will be no peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and shellfish in the food (blame Laura).

Question

Where should I stay?

Answer

We recommend staying in Coyoacán or in nearby neighborhoods such as Roma Norte or Condesa for easy access to the wedding venue. Mexico City is a large city and traffic isn't great, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to the venue.

Question

Is transportation provided?

Answer

Transportation to and from the wedding ceremony and reception is not provided, but Casa Xipe is easy to get to! We recommend ride sharing, since street parking is limited.

Question

Is it safe to travel to Mexico City?

Answer

Yes, Mexico City is a vibrant and culturally-rich destination and one of our favorite places! Like in any large city, we recommend staying aware of your surroundings and taking standard travel precautions. In short, don't be silly!

Question

What is the weather like?

Answer

Mexico City has a mild, spring-like climate year-round. In May, expect warm days and cool evenings, with average temperatures ranging from 80°F (27°C) to 52°F (11°C). We recommend checking the forecast before your trip.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

The closest airport is Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez, approximately 30-45 minutes from the city center.

Question

Do I need a visa to travel to Mexico?

Answer

Most travelers do not need a visa for visits under 180 days. Make sure your passport is up to date before booking your flights!

Question

What’s the currency in Mexico?

Answer

The currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but it’s useful to carry some cash for tips and shopping at local markets. ATMs are readily available. We recommend using a travel card to avoid getting charged foreign transaction fees. Hit us up if you need a referral ;)

Question

What’s the best way to get around the city?

Answer

Uber is reliable, affordable, and widely used. Walking is great in neighborhoods like Roma Norte and Condesa. We wouldn't recommend using public transportation like the metro or bus if you are not familiar with the city. Taxis should be booked via apps or hotels for safety. We recommend avoiding car rental. Take it from us...it's a pain!

Question

What is the altitude of Mexico City?

Answer

Mexico City sits at about 7,300 feet (2,225 meters) above sea level. Some visitors, especially those below sea level Miami folks, may feel mild altitude effects like shortness of breath or fatigue. Stay hydrated, rest, and take it easy your first day if needed.

Question

Can I drink the tap water?

Answer

No, it's best to avoid drinking tap water. Stick to bottled or filtered water, including for brushing your teeth. Be careful with fresh vegetables, fruit, and ice. Food and beverages from street vendors is a risky proposition, but most restaurants are careful to use filtered water and it's generally OK to eat fresh produce. We recommend bringing Pepto and Tums if you have sensitive stomachs like us (mostly Laura)!

Question

Do I need an adapter for electronics?

Answer

Mexico uses the same voltage and plugs as the U.S. (Type A and B, 127V), so no adapter is needed if you’re traveling from the US.
