There are varied routes into Mexico City. From overseas, your entry point into the country could be via multiple airports. Our recommendation is that you come into Mexico City either directly to Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez (MEX) or Felipe Ángeles (AIFA), or to Cancun International Airport (CUN) and take a domestic flight from there.
Best value international flights to Mexico are available between six and three months before departure. Upon your arrival, we would recommend that you take a private car (Uber/ Didi) from the airport to your accommodation. For further information, see CDMX Guide.
There are many ways to move around Mexico City. We recommend that for your primary transport you prioritise private car services, namely Uber or Didi (an
equivalent app-based service). Beyond these services, renting a car or taking shuttles/cars offered by your hotel/ accommodation are viable options. It is recommended that you do not ever take street taxis.
Regarding public transportation, the metro can be efficient, but we would recommend caution when travelling on it, especially in the evening. Please note there are carriages on the metro specifically allocated for women only if preferable.
If travelling on public transport to the wedding, the nearest metro station is Balderas, an eleven-minute walk to the venue.
We would not recommend any other forms of transport other than those detailed above (including car rental and bus travel).
Travelling around Mexico is very accessible.
While it is possible to get around through alternative routes, we would strongly recommend that you move between cities via flight. Air travel in Mexico is very cheap. As well as the national airline, Aeromexico, more budget friendly options are available, namely the airlines Volaris and Aerobus.
