Will be visiting CDMX for the first time in early November. Curious about the Lucha Libre experience. Does anyone have any tips or advice/suggestions on how best to navigate this experience to make the most of it? We're not wrestling people, but it seems like such an entertaining cultural experience and my sis said it was awesome. Thank you!
ETA: I think I heard somewhere that seats are unassigned. Is this correct?
I’m going to Mexico City for the first time soon and found out that one of my favorite artists will be doing a show while I’m there. The show would likely end past midnight.
If I went, I (female traveler) would be going to this show alone and then back to my Airbnb. The venue is in a safer area and so is my Airbnb.
If I did decide to call an Uber on my own I of course would use the necessary precautions (not getting into the car without verifying license plate, waiting for the car in an area with people etc). I also am not planning on drinking.
If anyone has more advice I would appreciate it! I just need help making the decision to do this or not.
Hi, I’ll be travelling to Mexico City next week (9th to 17th) and was originally planning to do a hot air balloon tour at Teotihuacan. Yes, touristy, but I’m a tourist what do you expect.
Looking at the weather forecast it seems like it’s been quite cloudy with not much blue sky recently. I’m wondering whether it’s still worth to do on a cloudy day or if visibility will just be abysmal? It’s not a cheap thing to do so I don’t feel the need to force it and do it just for the sake of doing it if the clouds will dampen the experience.
If we don’t do it, any other short day trip recommendations? The other one we have considered was going to Tepoztlàn, curiour to hear recommendations on this.
Hola! :) Me encantaría leer sus sugerencias sobre el itinerario de viaje que haré a CDMX proximamente, porque creo que estoy siendo un poco ambiciosa ahahahah. Cualquier comentario me ayudaría muchísimo.
Consideraciones a tener:
* Somos una mujer adulta y una adolescente. El motivo es un viaje de cumpleaños y dado que ambas tenemos profundas inclinaciones artísticas, esta mas que nada centrado en Museos y actividades culturales. Amamos pintar y tomar fotos, por lo que planeamos llevar nuestros sketchbooks y cámaras.
* Mi presupuesto de $2000 por día en actividades/alimentos, por eso estoy tratando de balancear los días "caros" con los "baratos"
* Tenemos muy buena condicion física, así que no tengo problemas porque el plan resulte muy agotador
* Estoy considerando hospedarme en el área de Cuahtemoc/Reforma, ¿está bien? Me gustaría moverme a pie o en Uber; vengo de un rancho, no se usar el transporte público :(
* Quiero ir un día a algún espectaculo nocturno. Como dije, igual serán nuestros cumpleaños, así que si tienen alguna recomendacion de restaurante estaria genial. También algun tianguis de antiguedades o cosas frikis nos vendria bien.
* Pensé en hacer alguna ruta del Turibus, ¿creen que valga la pena? :)
* ¿Creen que alguno de estos museos este mejor en la Noche de Museos?
Día 1
Llegada (vuelo muy temprano) - Dejar maletas, check in en el hotel.
Museo Soumaya - Museo Jumex - Acuario Inbursa - Comer en el Hello Kitty Cafe de Plaza Carso.
Día 2
Six Flags, todo el día hasta anochecer. Comer ahí mismo, cenar en la calle de regreso.
Día 3
Museo de Antropología - Museo de Arte Moderno - Zoologico de Chapultepec. Si llegase a dar tiempo (cosa que dudo mucho) ir a l Museo Tamayo.
Día 4
Bellas Artes - Disculpen, acá soy una completa ignorante y lo que leo no me orienta mucho, ¿Qué es lo que se supone que podemos hacer en Bellas Artes? ¿Hay un museo/tengo que comprar boletos? - Museo Franz Meyer - Museo Kaluz (iremos a la exposición de Alphonse Mucha) - Munal
Comer en la Casa de los Azulejos
Día 5
¡Acá aun no he decidido que hacer! Estaba pensando repetir Chapultepec, pero también si conocen alguna exposicion temporal o alguna atracción que crean que podría encajar con nuestro perfil.
Día 6
Vuelo a las 3:00 PM. Saldría del hotel a las 12:00 para ir preparada para el tráfico.
Aún alcanzaría a hacer una pequeña actividad o visita por la zona?
Muchísimas gracias :)
Hi! Does anyone happen to know what’s going on with Don Jacinto Stay & Sip? I have a stay booked there for next week, but I haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone at the hotel. I also noticed that it’s currently listed as “temporarily closed,” along with a few businesses nearby.
I prepaid for my stay, so I’m starting to get a little nervous about whether my reservation will still be honored. If anyone has any information or has been in contact with them recently, I would really appreciate any updates. Thank you!
Hola! I will be visiting CDMX Oct 12-19 and the current forecast indicates it will rain the better part of every day, although the % is low throughout the day. I’d like to know if I should anticipate steady rain for several hours every day or shorter showers followed by clear weather. Gracias!
this might be a long shot as it had already been a few years when I first bought this, but I was hoping to see if anyone knows where they might sell this scarf outside of the gift shop either anywhere online or in either mexico , cali, us , online, even at the same shops if you've been to Teotihuacan recently and saw these 😂😇🙌🏼🧣🇲🇽
the pic features the reversible 'inside' color but its actually a dark blue and probably my favorite scarf / rebozo I've ever had . I dropped it somewhere out in pacific beach in san diego a few weeks back and probably won't emotionally recover until I either go check to see if they still sell it at pyramids / gift shops or find a similar / exact replica 😂😅💀
hoping the grammar isn't too weird if it auto translates , & sorry for not defaulting to spanish its just harder to translate for me rn (born in us, but still) 😅😇🙌🏼💃🏽💓🇲🇽✨️
also this might be a long shot but if you're visiting the pyramids and happen to miraculously be flying back through / to tijuana I'd be more than happy to pay you for the scarf / troubles. I'd offer to send if someone could ship me one but I may have to settle for online or just plan a trip to go back soons (best excuse ) 😂💁🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️✈️
Ya empezó octubre y me puse a pensar en cómo ha cambiado esta época en la CDMX y en Mexico en general.
Cada año tenemos más cosas en estos meses: Día de Muertos, Halloween, catrinas, megaofrendas, desfiles, pedir calaverita, pan de muerto desde quién sabe qué mes 😂… (yo vi pan de muerto desde Julio!!!!! ) y la ciudad, como siempre, termina haciendo su propia mezcla.
Pero dejando de lado los eventos grandes y lo turístico, ¿qué tradición, costumbre o recuerdo de esta época lo siente o lo viven como realmente suyos?
Puede ser poner la ofrenda en casa, comprar cempasúchil, pedir la famoss calaverita, algún mercado tradicional, visitar a la familia, un pan de muerto específico que ses rico, un barrio o colonia en particular, lo que sea.
Y al revés: ¿hay alguna costumbre o trasicion nueva o incluso algo tomado de Halloween que al principio no les gustaba y ahora ya aceptaron o disfrutan yo nuestra?
Hola, I’m looking for a salon in these areas for next week. Willing to take the metro to other areas if the place is great. It’s just for a trim for long, wavy hair. Hopefully not too expensive. I don’t speak Spanish (though I do speak Italian, which sometimes helps), but I’m thinking this is simple to communicate? There are some older posts on here, but I’d like some more recent recommendations. Gracias!
Looking for a good time Wednesday night - any suggestions welcome. Enjoy drag, dancing, or low key.
Rapidamente: En enero fui a la Arena México, la verda bastante bien y un sueño cumplido, ahora bien, siento que me falta visitar la Arena Coliseo, me gustaría ir, pero por el lugar y como no conosco, no me gustaría acudir solo, la fecha programada es el Jueves 29 de octubre, si alguien estaría por ahi en esas fechas o le gusta las luchas y tienen un grupo, me podría unir con ustedes?
I've seen a few itineraries posted for review, and have seen some excellent advice and tips. I've decided to post mine for any tips and restaurant recommendations. We're in our 60's, active, but can't really walk 8-9 miles a day sightseeing anymore. I've tried to keep each day's actitivities fairly low key. I'm a foodie, but my boyfriend isn't. Would appreciate a mix of restaurant recommendations - from historical places to street vendors. But no fancy schmancy small plates - or I will never hear the end of it. 😄 I'm returning after falling in love with 'el DF' 40 years ago, and am hoping to show my BF what I love about the city. Gracias!

Hola, me gustaria saber si esta ruta es "segura" para viajar desde Guadalajara a la ciudad de México.
O si tienen algun consejo como que partes deberiamos de evitar o tener mas precaucion, viajariamos por la mañana, saliendo a las 9 am y llegando alrededor de las 3 pm el siguiente martes, el plan es tomar siempre la de cuota (carretera 15D).
Estoy buscando donde vivir, y encontré en esta zona al lado del estadio un apartamento que la verdad esta muy bueno, pero la zona si me dio un poco de desconfianza. Aunque el dueño me aseguro que es una zona segura, quería expandir las opiniones si conocen está zona.
Hola!
I am looking to buy a couple of textile souvenirs, and wondering where I should look for:
An authentic serape
Guayabera shirt
I was hoping to look in the San Angel market on Saturday but if there are other places that sell them that would be great!
Gracias
Traveling para el Día de los muertos. Se me olvidó que es la semana de F1. Does anyone recommend a sports bar to see the Grand Prix ? Y creen que bajen los boletos ?
Hi, I'm taking my two kids to Mexico City this coming weekend for a very short stay (3 days), and we are all very excited! We will be staying at Roma Notre area, and here's our prilimary schedule:
Thursday Oct 8 - Arriving at hotel at @ Roma Notre 2PM
Friday Oct 9 - Museo Nacional de Antropologia & Chapultepec Castle
Saturday Oct 10 - Palacio de Bellas Museo Arte & Museo Nacional de Arte
Sunday Oct 11 - Flight Departs at 4PM
Do you all have any great restaurant recommendation for Friday and Saturday for lunch? I tried to make reservation for restaurants in Roma Notre area online for dinner, but none of them seems available. Can I just walk in and wait for a table?
I would like to visit the amazing Biblioteca Vasconcelos, which day do you think it will fit best? Thursday after we check into the hotel, or Saturday after visiting the palace?
Thank you in advance for advices! My kids are already researching the history of this city and they are looking forward to explore.
Hi all! I'm visiting next week, and looking for a good spot to watch Monday Night Football (Go Bills!). We are staying near Liverpool & calle Dinamarca.
Any recommendations within a 15-20 minute walk would be appreciated
