Transportation

While in Mexico City, travelers can take public transportation, including the metro and buses, which are efficient and cost-effective. Taxis and Ubers are also widely available, but it's important to negotiate the fare beforehand or use the app to estimate costs. Driving is not recommended because of heavy traffic and limited parking options. The estimated cost for transportation is around 600 MXN for the four days.

Useful Tips

If you have more time, consider visiting the Frida Kahlo Museum or the Palacio de Bellas Artes, both of which offer a unique perspective on Mexican culture and history. Alternatively, if you have less time, eliminate the Templo Mayor Museum or the Chapultepec Castle from the itinerary. Make sure to bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for walking, as Mexico City can get hot and humid in the summer months and there is a lot of walking involved in each location.

Airports

Mexico City has one main airport- Mexico City International Airport (MEX), which is located approximately 10 miles from the city center. Visitors can take the metro, bus, or taxi to reach their destination from the airport.
