I was just in Mexico City this past August, hung out with someone who lives there, and she said in no uncertain terms to avoid the taxis. Supposedly the cartels and gangs work with them a lot, they are involved in Human trafficking.

When I went in 2017, I traveled entirely by bus and subway. Apple and Google maps can tell you exactly what lines go where and where they stop. Just search using public transport.
And yes, pay close attention when using public transport in any city, because while it's mostly safe, there's always a chance you're caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I've lived in Mexico for 5 years. CDMX for about a year. Half way through the video and I appreciate the accuracy of your suggestions.

[deiondavis]

I Love Mexico city, my advice would be if you are ever lost find a Starbucks. 👍🏽 I had such a good time, really good people. Can't wait to visit again next year

[iio]

Just stay in Polanco and use Uber. Just spent 3 weeks there and felt as safe as anywhere else and no issues at all day or night. Although yeh I didn’t go walking around outside Arena México - Uber straight back to Polanco haha.

[alacombe]

What about leaving the airport to our hotel? Should we order an Uber?

[philu]

Most of these suggestions apply to any large city.
I love CDMX and plan to move there.

[jmpike]

I'm moving to CDMX for work next year and this video was extremely informative! Thank you!

[fergomez]

I totally agree about safety in Centro historico, it is such a crowded and lively part of the city in the daytime but in the evening after most businesses shut down it is a different story 🤷🏻‍♂️
Saludos y se cuidan 😁👍✌️

[shoshi]

Hi fellow SAfrican...Mexico City is amazing. I've been living in Mexico for many years without problems. Thx for the vid..new subscriber now

[Humboldt]

With all due respect, I was born in Iztapalapa. Raised in Chicago my whole life. I know I have an accent when I speak in Spanish but every time I go to Mexico City. I always stay with my family and Iztapalapa. I have ventured out in the colonia on my own with no fear.

[joshnicholson]

I was sitting next to you on the plane to Cancun while you edited the thumbnail for this 😆

[christipotgieter]

This is super helpful! Thank you for this!

[malcomflores]

I was waiting for this video, and cannot wait for the travel guide for our upcoming trip to Mexico City 🇲🇽✈

[georgiapreau]

This is one of the best videos I've seen about M.C. Thanks! :)

I'm 76 and frequently go to Mexico City/ Over the past 10 years two attempts by pickpockets on buses. I broke the thumbs of both. I enjoy criminals thinking me an easy target. I served 32 years in the US Army and was a Colonel 0-6. But that is their mistake. I have practiced martial arts from age 9. I currently practice Muay Thai, Tai Chi Shoalin and Dim Mak. My blow with either hand is still in excess of 850 ft pounds. But stay away from drugs alcohol and prostitutes you won't encounter many problems. But should add I have complete confidence in any environment and a great sense in avoiding dangers. Certainly a lot safer than anywhere in the US where both criminals and police compete as threats to your well being.

Yup there are pick pockets both in metro and metrobus, they will stand around you and push you on the stops so that one of them can take your phone or wallet out. I don't use neither lately but what I do (as a guy) if I need to use them is that I put both wallet and phone in the same pocket and grab them both with one hand, the other hand is to hold to the tubes. Or if possible just don't get in if it's too full.

[MrJintensive]

My Aunt Virginia who lives in the capital, used to say, b4 going out with my cousin's? Dont eat in the street, but we did it anyway, sometimes you dont even get sick. I've gotten sick at the airport and one restaurant.

[MBheARTed]

I'm going this year to visit my friend in Mexico city this year so thank you
