Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

For those looking to step off the beaten path, Mexico City offers hidden gems that many visitors miss. Explore the tranquil canals of Xochimilco, where you can glide through lush waterways on colorful trajineras, or discover the murals of the lesser-known San Ildefonso College, a historic building brimming with incredible art. Head to the hidden gem of the Pueblos Mágicos—like the artistic town of Tepoztlán, just a short drive away—or wander the quirky streets of La Roma, where boutique shops, hip cafés, and independent galleries create a distinctly local vibe. From the underground art scene to tucked-away cafes, Mexico City’s secret spots invite you to uncover the city’s lesser-known soul.

Something to think about

Something to think about

When traveling to Mexico City, consider a few practical tips to make your trip smoother. First, the city’s size can be overwhelming, so plan your days around specific neighborhoods or districts to avoid getting lost in its vastness. Public transportation, including the Metro, is efficient but can be crowded, so prepare for busy rides during rush hours. To fully appreciate the local culture, learn a few basic Spanish phrases—while many people speak English, especially in tourist areas, speaking the local language goes a long way. Be mindful of the altitude, as Mexico City sits over 7,000 feet above sea level; stay hydrated and take it easy the first few days if you're not used to it. Finally, keep safety in mind by avoiding less crowded or poorly lit areas after dark and keeping your belongings close in busy spots. With these considerations in mind, Mexico City will quickly become a favorite destination.
