Question
What airport do I fly into?
Answer
Mexico City International Airport; officially Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez (airport code: MEX)
Question
How do I get from the airport to the hotel?
Answer
We recommend ordering an Uber "Black" to get from the airport to hotel. Any Ubers you order will pick you up curbside after you go through customs. Please see below for additional instructions: Exit on the arrivals level Head outside from baggage claim and meet your driver curbside. This is where all Uber driver-partners at MEX meet travelers for pickup. Confirm your location Enter your terminal and door number so your driver knows where to find you.
Question
What type of transportation is available in Mexico City?
Answer
Ubers: Very accessible throughout the city and are substantially cheaper than in the US. As mentioned above, we recommend ordering only Uber "Black," as Uber X and Uber XL are generally much older vehicles with no air conditioning. Biking: A great way to get around the city! Grab a bike rental with Ecobici (Eco-bike) at their website here: https://ecobici.cdmx.gob.mx/en/ (paste into your browser). Metro: A mostly-underground system of trains called the Metro, with fares costing around 25 cents (cash only). Please find a map of the metro here: https://www.metro.cdmx.gob.mx/la-red/mapa-de-la-red (paste into your browser). Metrobús: A rapid transit system with dedicated bus lanes that moves over 1 million people per day, with stations located in the middle of Mexico City's main thoroughfares. You can find accessibility information on the Metrobús website here: http://data.metrobus.cdmx.gob.mx/accesibilidad.html (paste into your browser).
Question
What are some things to keep in mind when traveling to Mexico City?
Answer
1. Traffic is HORRIBLE! Unless you're on foot, allow enough time to get around as there can be significant delays going even the shortest distances. 2. Say "no" to street food. If you do decide to indulge, please do so after Friday, and choose stands with a line or group of people huddled around it. 3. Drink bottled water only - no exceptions. 4. Be aware of your surroundings. 5. Don’t Expect Conventional Chips and Salsa! Most of what Americans know of Mexican food is actually Tex-Mex. CDMX won't have watered down tomato salsa with neatly cut fried tortilla chips. If the restaurant offers chips and salsa, it’s whole fried corn tortillas with a range of salsas. 6. Mexico City is NOT the beach. Leave the beach attire at home because the altitude makes the weather cooler during the day with sharp temperature drops at night. Pack for a city trip! 7. Blend in! Don't dress for a jungle expedition or wear shorts and flip-flops - it's the quickest way to tell you're a tourist! 8. Keep the altitude in mind. Mexico City has an elevation of ~7,000ft (higher than Denver), so don't forget to drink bottled water to stay hydrated & avoid headaches. 9. Paying: Carry small bills and use your credit cards! Most street vendors only accept cash and sometimes can’t break large bills. ATMs usually give out 500 peso bills, so try to break these at a convenience store. If you dine at a sit-in restaurant with waitstaff, they almost always accept credit cards. 10. Try Other Mexican Beers Besides Corona! Try something new or different like a full-bodied Modelo Negra or a distinct lager like Victoria. 11. Use OpenTable for reservations when possible. In Polanco (where our hotels are) restaurants fill up quickly, so making reservations in this area for dinner is a necessity.
