December 2, 2023 - By megsperience

San Miguel de Allende is a popular trip from Mexico City. You can make it a day trip, but I’d recommend spending at least one night or a weekend in San Miguel de Allende because it’s a long drive – about 4-5 hours from CDMX.

One thing to know is that, in Asia, your typical American apps (Uber, Lyft) aren’t widespread.

A Beginner’s Guide to Three Days in Mexico City

November 27, 2023 - By megsperience

Mexico City is an enormous city with so much to offer. If it’s you’re first time here, there are a few key sites to see. This itinerary is for three days. However, you could easily stretch it to five days for slower travel. Another thing to remember is that most museums and Chapultepec Park are closed on Mondays, so it’s important to plan around that. Most museums you do not need to book in advance, but the Frida Kahlo museum you absolutely do. Skip To: Mexico City Day 1 Mexico City Day 2 Mexico City Day 3 Day 1 –…
