Most visits to Mexico City pass without incident but as with any big city, be aware of pickpockets in crowded places and public transport. For up-to-date travel advice for Mexico, check the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
British travellers don’t need a visa to visit Mexico but will need to fill out an immigration form upon arrival or online in advance.
A Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended, but other vaccinations to consider include Diphtheria, Tetanus and Typhoid. Visit the NHS Mexico page for more information.
You’ll need at least five days to see all the major sights Mexico City has to offer, but you might want to add on a couple of extra for some day trips to places such as Teotihuacán or Puebla.
Friends in Mexico often greet each other with a single kiss on the cheek, but if you’re meeting someone for the first time, it’s often just a handshake or a touch on the arm.
There are several ways to get around Mexico City. The city’s metro system is straightforward and easy to use, however it can get extremely crowded, so be sure to avoid moving around at peak times. Another great way to get around during your Mexico City holiday is to use Uber. It’s generally considered safer than using the local taxis because no cash is exchanged, and the app can track exactly where you’re going. It’s best to avoid rush hours as traffic in Mexico City can be horrendous at certain times.
