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 6 months ago and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

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

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.
