When I went in 2017, I traveled entirely by bus and subway. Apple and Google maps can tell you exactly what lines go where and where they stop. Just search using public transport. And yes, pay close attention when using public transport in any city, because while it's mostly safe, there's always a chance you're caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Hola Zhang 🤗 Yeah, we found out that google maps is very helpful for using the public transportation, and of course as in any major city, you should be aware of your belongings and surroundings.

Yup there are pick pockets both in metro and metrobus, they will stand around you and push you on the stops so that one of them can take your phone or wallet out. I don't use neither lately but what I do (as a guy) if I need to use them is that I put both wallet and phone in the same pocket and grab them both with one hand, the other hand is to hold to the tubes. Or if possible just don't get in if it's too full.

This was a good review, one of the more realistic ones without rose-colored glasses or agendas. CDMX was great, I visited in March for 6 days with my wife & kids (14 & 11) from Houston, TX. We stayed between Polanco & Chapultepec. No issues there, but the vibe in that area changes dramatically after sunset. In broad daylight, two drunks in Alameda Park were shoving each other & yelling (in Spanish & English) near us, with big dogs barking in front of police who just stood by them, though it stopped pretty fast. And the airport (landside, by the entrances) was a bit sketchy with people loitering & sleeping on the floors. Otherwise all was good-- it was a great trip and we look forward to going back. It's an easy 2 hour flight from here, but is sadly overlooked due to certain politicians and "news".

Love your videos! 1. The police in CDMX do nothing. I've regularly walked past groups of people shooting up drugs, smoking marijuana, etc. and cops will be standing right there ignoring it all. 2. It's not that bad here in July in my opinion. It rains in the evening/night mostly, so just wear rain booties and bring an umbrella with you. 3. We really enjoy staying in Coyoacan--for more peace and charm--or the area between Centro and Roma--easy walkability to both popular areas. 4. Definitely agree about not going past Garibaldi. I even know people who've gotten robbed or assaulted AT Garibaldi Plaza, so we just avoid it altogether. 5. I got such bad food poisoning here before that I ended up in the ER due to extreme hydration. Things I've learned to avoid with street food (I still eat it sometimes): there's no make-shift sink, the veggies are washed in tap water or not washed at all, the stand looks dirty, food that should be cold is sitting out all day, the employees are touching their phone or money constantly without gloves or washing hands.

Hola Bailey 🤗 First and foremost, thank you for watching, and commenting, really pushes our video to more people and helps us grow our channel. So, do you live in CDMX? that's cool 1. We saw something like this at the Estela de Luz (I think is the name of the tower right at the entrance of Chapultepec in front of BVVA Bank Offices) but we asked and seems to be a protest for legalisation so the police could not do anything, but we just got the info from one person 🤭. 2. Maybe the flooding is just in particular parts of the city, we suppose. 3. Yeah, we liked being at Roma Sur, we felt very safe and we were walking most of the time, we enjoyed the area. 4. Really, we like Garibaldi for the mariachi, but we were in the afternoon, but we did not feel pretty safe 🤭. 5. Great point, yeah, unfortunately, these bad hygiene practices are quite part of the culture, which sucks, because can make people very sick, is hardly seen a food stand with decent food handle practices, I (Geo) grew up eating street food, but this hasn't made me immune of not getting sick; as what happened to me at Xochimilco 😂😅. Thank you again for watching Bailey, we hope you are doing amazing, sending you great vibes from PDC 🌊 🇲🇽

We just returned from Mexico City and I wanted to share this lesson learned. After our day in the central historic district, we took a pink taxi parked in the street. We were charged 600 pesos in a typical 80 to 100 pesos ride. Looking back, there were many signs that tells us DON’T take this taxi but we didn’t listen to…Lesson Learned: Never use pink taxi can but use Uber instead for safety. The pink taxi cab we took is an old beat up car. The taxi does not have any identification displayed in the taxi. The taxi meter was not visibility seen. The meter was placed on his side (driver’s side) tucked deep down on the left dashboard and it was faced down. When we shared this to our hotel staff, he said that it was a good thing that we do not argued for we do not know how the driver would react. I am sharing this experience to avoid getting similar experience. Best to use Uber for transportation for SAFETY reasons. Mexico City is a beautiful city and has lots of amazing places to explore. Enjoy exploring and be safe!! Peace 😊❤

*Hola amig@,* Thank you for sharing your experience. It's always helpful to read insights from other travellers that can assist people when visiting CDMX or any other destination. On our most recent trip to Mexico City, which was a year after the video was taken, we encountered a situation. We had booked an Uber to take us to the airport, but due to a taxi strike, the Uber driver was unable to drop us off at our intended destination, which was CDMX airport. Since we had luggage and couldn't walk long distances, we decided to take one of the pink taxis. We placed our luggage in the trunk and closed it. However, we soon realized that the car didn't have license plates and was actually covered in plastic. Immediately, we asked the driver to open the trunk, and luckily, we retrieved our bags. However, in 99% of cases, these taxis are unregulated (illegal). Thank you for watching and sharing your experience. 🙏

You can try either Ciel or Bonafont, as these are the most common brands. Additionally, you can consider the Gerber brand, which is typically sold in pharmacies and is mainly for babies.

Hola amigos 🤗🤗, Awww thank you so much, these were the things that helped us in our CDMX trip 🤭. Exactly, Mexico City has been stereotyped as being very very dangerous, but you just need to be aware of your surroundings, and of course there are some areas you should not visit, but other than that it's an incredible city. Yeah, we actually had those releasable cable ties, when we move to Mexico to tie Ted's kennel as requirement from the airline, and now we have used them for our trips, they're always in our backpacks. We hope you guys are enjoying Mexico, we miss you and we hope to see you guys again 🥰🤗🤩

Thank you for your fun & informative video & tips. I LOVE Mexico City!!! D.F. I was paranoid at 1st but once I got out there & explored I fell in LOVE with D.F./ ciudad de Mexico!!! It's a whole world of its own!! I always stay in Centro Historico--right off the Zocalo & have walked around on my own at night!! That said, I'm aware of my surroundings & avoid streets / areas with nobody around. And I love the street food!! I'm curious about the zip cable ties... You called them releasable?-- I only know them as requiring being cut to be removed? I rewound the video several times to try to see how you were using them but it was too short & fast. Thank you & gracias!!

Thank you very much! Your *kind* words mean a lot to us. 🫶 Travelling by bus is quite safe. We highly recommend choosing either the ADO or ETN bus companies, as they have a longstanding presence in the market. If you plan to stow your bag in the bus compartments, it's advisable not to place any valuable items there. Instead, it's better to keep them with you in the upper overhead compartment. 🙌🙏🤩

I lived in Mexico City in the late 80’s and was told by locals if ever pulled over by the cops to offer to buy them “a couple of cokes”. This was code for negotiating your infraction. In Mexico you are guilty until found innocent. Always offer a bride if the cops tell you they want to take you into the station.
@ForTheRoadTravels Жыл бұрын
*Hola amig@* Unfortunately is a reality of the country, and sometimes they just stopped you to see what they can take from you, without committing any offense. We now heard that are ways to report any corrupt cop via an app, and is not beneficial for them to take people to the station, gets more complicated to "get" something out of you. Well, luckily we have never experienced but we share what other tourists, travelers, and locals recommend based on their real-life situations. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment amigo

I served 32 years in the US Army and was a Colonel 0-6. But that is their mistake. I have practiced martial arts from age 9. I currently practice Muay Thai, Tai Chi Shoalin and Dim Mak. My blow with either hand is still in excess of 850 ft pounds. But stay away from drugs alcohol and prostitutes you won't encounter many problems. But should add I have complete confidence in any environment and a great sense in avoiding dangers. Certainly a lot safer than anywhere in the US where both criminals and police compete as threats to your well being.

@@riskyron1416 Well first off, I didn't ask if you were Mexican. I wasn't even talking to you. I said if one was a citizen which is different, but I realize you are getting quite old now, so I will type slowly, LOL. The only sentence meant for you was the very first one. But let's act like I was talking to you. Just because you served in the US Army doesn't mean you haven't embraced a retired status as a citizen of another country as I have. I too had expatriate status in multiple countries prior but obviously you don't understand any nuance or lifestyle other than your own. So why do you choose to be a jerk in your response? Oh I know. You didn't like me calling you a braggart. Most people that learn martial arts are pretty chill but not you. Just because you haven't been arrested doesn't mean you are doing a good thing. It just means you've been lucky vigilante. Others are best to heed my advice which is who my comments were meant for anyways. I know you'll need to respond to this because your ego requires it. Self-absorbed, which is why you misinterpreted who I was talking to in the first place. A lack of control from a very likely control freak. I am quite sure you have the inability let things go even when there is nothing left to be said. Goes to show age has little to do with maturity.

You're right to be concerned. Its beyond me why channels like this promote this country knowing good and well that it is not safe. Who wants to be on constant guard for corrupt police officers, being scammed by locals at every turn, restaurants, taxis. Stop PATRONIZING a country that does not value you. Yes there is crime everywhere but it is tenfold in Mexico. The only way change will happen is to bring tourism to a halt. Then they will perhaps see that if they stop killing, kidnapping, robbing and scamming visitors we may come back.

Lol, not all of us have the privilege of being born into a ‘safe’ country. I’m assuming you’re coming from a developed country? I come from a country that is ACTUALLY dangerous- like one of the highest murder/rape stats in the world. So for me,when people call Mexico unsafe, I can’t help but think how out of touch with reality they are. In the last three years I’ve lived here, I’ve throughly enjoyed being able to walk the streets at night and live in a home with minimal security- far different from my upbringing in South Africa 🇲🇽 If you’re so concerned with Mexico being unsafe, simply don’t visit.

Hola Dennis 🤗 Amazing, thank you so much for watching 🙏, we have still 2 more videos of our recently travel series in Mexico City to be released in the following weeks (and we also have others from our trip in 2020, you might like them as well 🤭). Yes, we did a video on Mérida about a year ago 🤩. Merida is amazing, the only downside is the weather can be pretty hot. We love Mexico city too, but more for vacation, we are not much of city people, we are still traveling around the country to find the perfect place that is for us, but meanwhile we will share our thoughts of every corner of Mexico, so you can decide which state is right for you 🥰. Thank you so much for your support, by watching and commenting you help us tremendously to grow our channel 🙏. Greetings from PDC Mexico 🌊 🇲🇽

Hola April 😊😊 Really?? We've heard that people are randomly getting stopped for camera equipment. Sorry that happened to you 🫣 Oh my gosh, if you're looking for something really delicious in CDMX, we' say skip the restaurants and go straight to the street stands, everything we ate from street stands in CDMX was amazing 🤩 We hope your time in the city ends up meeting your expectations 🇲🇽😊

Basically travel there ate your own risk. No thank you. My dad is from Mexico City but unfortunately things have changed since the days we used to travel in the 70’s & 80’s 😞 Used to be the taxis were helpful and a good way to get around. But now that’s changed. We used to take the metro but damn you have to be fast getting in and out lol

Mexico has changed a lot from the 70 and 80s but still we believe the city is still safe, of course you have to listen some locals for their best recommendations. Metro is quite cool and some of the stations and wagons are pretty clean and new. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏼☺️

I give police near my hotel bottled water, soft drinks and sometimes buy them lunch. The result is they will stop traffic for me no matter what the light is. They are always appreciative. Try the electric assist peddle taxis. Half the price, they can also go where cars cannot. Of course with my age the buses are free. Once on a bus the driver would not let me exit the front door. So I made like a bulldozer and shoved 12 people out the rear door, but allowed a woman out ahead that was having the same problem exiting.

Wish you had done this video before we went 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 we went to Tepito and we stayed at a hotel in Garibaldi. 🤣🤣🤣 Garibaldi wasn’t to bad as it seems. People just want to sing and have a good time there. It was a very unique experience. Tepito only in Sunday with the Tianguis and you always stay in the middle isle. Never go to the edge where house entrances are. At least that’s what I was told. It’s funny I was with Daria who you know is guerita. It was a very scary experience at first because you feel like you might be targeted more. But actually we had an amazing experience. But I won’t go to Tepito again 2x was enough 🤣🤣🤣 oh and got a good deal on shoes and clothes. Turibus is the best. We did the 5 day one. It was the best.

Hola Frank and Daria, Exactly, I (Geo) visited Tepito with my parents when I was 9 or 10 years old, and was such an experience, but I had always that in my mind that if you go to Tepito you should be very careful, next trip to CDMX I'll take to Simone to the Tianguis 🤭. Yeah, tourist are more susceptible to get targeted by some scammers, it really helps them (our wife's) being with a local, they get somehow local and price preference because of us 🤭🤭. To be honest, the 2 times we've been in CDMX we have never felt the need of renting a car, we think might be more stressful having a car, while touring the city, so that's why the Turibus is the greatest option. Thank you again for watching guys, sending you a big big hug to both of you 🤗🤗🤗
