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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Avoid Zona Rosa? Or is it fine?

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

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

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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