Has anyone been to Central Mexico recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Zona Rosa — still the best area in Mexico City/Puebla?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
