FAQs
Question
Is San Miguel de Allende safe?
Answer
Yes! In fact, it's voted the safest city in all of Mexico! We've been here many times and not once, even for a moment, have we ever felt unsafe! Locals, including the ex-pat Americans who live there permanently, are very friendly and welcoming to tourists. But of course in any situation, we would ask that you use common sense as always when you are traveling, whether in the US or internationally.
Question
Can I bring my kids?
Answer
Due to the capacity and size of our venue, we have chosen to make our special weekend adults only.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
San Miguel in December is magical! The average temperature ranges from 70-75 degrees during the day. The evenings do tend to cool down quite a bit and can even get into the mid-40s, so we recommend bringing a jacket or sweater to stay comfortable. It’s the dry season, so you can expect clear skies and plenty of festive vibes all around!
Question
How long should we stay?
Answer
We know that time away from home and work is precious so we recommend making the most of your trip and staying as long as you can! With that being said, given San Miguel is so small, you can see most of the town in 3 days. Have extra time? Mexico City is just a few hours drive away and gorgeous beaches are a short flight away.
Question
What shoes should I wear? (IMPORTANT!)
Answer
Walking around San Miguel is amazing. But please pack comfortable, sturdy shoes. The streets are mostly cobblestone so walking on them in a stiletto or thin heel is near impossible :) For ladies: a sandal, a thick block heel, etc. is likely your best bet.
Question
Should I rent a car?
Answer
Our recommendation is to AVOID renting a car. San Miguel is a relatively small, dense town with narrow cobblestone streets and parking is extremely hard to come by. There are also cabs are everywhere and they are both safe and very cheap! If you take a cab while in the city, make sure you use a green or white one (these are official). Also make sure to agree on a rate to your destination before accepting the ride. Don't forget though! You will need to book transportation to take you from the airport to San Miguel and back (we will have recommendations on the website for this). That's the only important ride to be aware of during your time here.
