Has anyone been to Border Towns recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers
Avoid Nuevo Laredo? Or is it fine?

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

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