Mexico City Must-Knows! 🇲🇽 (📌Save this for later!) Here’s the lowdown on things I wish I knew before 👇🏼 🕳️ The amount of bumps, cracks, and holes in the sidewalks here are a bit insane. However, nothing you can’t do without paying attention and wearing good comfortable shoes. 🏔️ Mexico City sits high - around 2,200 meters (7,500 ft)! Take it slow your first day to avoid altitude sickness. Hydrate, don’t push yourself too hard, and maybe pack some dramamine. 🗑️ One of the most frustrating things I noticed was that garage cans can be scarce in some areas. A tip is to always have a small bag to hold your trash until you find a designated bin. 🚗 I thought NYC traffic was rough.... But Mexico City is even worse. Make sure to leave wherever you’re going 10-20 minutes ahead of time! Also, Uber and Didi are super affordable and probably the safest option (check license plates before getting in the car!) ☀️ Mexico City weather can be unpredictable. Bring layers and a rain jacket so you’re prepared for both sunshine and potential rain showers. 🗣️ Knowing some basic Spanish goes a long way. Even “gracias” (thank you) and “por favor” (please) will be appreciated by locals. I noticed a bit of a struggle with the language gap so I’d be sure to try and brush up a bit more than basic if you can. With a little planning, you’ll have an unforgettable adventure. What shocked you the most about Mexico City? 🫣 #mexicocity #traveltipsandtricks #cdmxtravel #latinamericatravel #solotraveling #mexicotravel #mexicocitytravel #cdmx Mexico City Travel Guide, Things to do in Mexico City, Mexico City for First Timers, Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico City Itinerary
