Mexico City sits at approximately 7,350 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest capital cities in the world. The high altitude can affect visitors, especially during the first few days. To adjust comfortably, drink plenty of water, use sunscreen as the sun is stronger at this elevation, limit alcohol intake initially, and take it easy with physical activities. The altitude contributes to the city's mild, temperate climate year-round.
Mexico City occasionally experiences poor air quality due to its geography and population density. The pollution levels are comparable to cities like Los Angeles and are typically worse during winter months and early mornings. On days with high pollution, consider wearing a mask and focus on indoor activities like visiting museums and galleries. Check daily air quality reports and plan outdoor sightseeing for afternoons when conditions usually improve.
The Mexican Peso (MXN) is the official currency. Credit cards are usually accepted in hotels, restaurants, and major establishments in Mexico City, but it's advisable to carry cash for smaller vendors, street food stalls, and local markets. ATMs are readily available throughout the city and typically offer good exchange rates.
The best time to visit Mexico City is between March and May when the weather is pleasant with temperatures in the low to mid-70s Fahrenheit. During these months, you'll enjoy the beautiful blooming of purple jacaranda trees that line the streets. The dry season runs from November to May, offering comfortable conditions for sightseeing. Summer months from June to August bring afternoon rainstorms, though mornings typically remain clear for exploring.
Spanish is the primary language spoken in Mexico City and throughout the country. While many people working in the tourist industry speak or understand English, learning basic Spanish phrases will greatly enhance your experience. Mexico City is cosmopolitan and you'll find English speakers in hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions, but locals always appreciate visitors making an effort to speak Spanish.
The ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan, located about 30 miles northeast of the city, are the most popular day trip destination where you can climb the Pyramid of the Sun and Moon. Other excellent options include visiting the colonial town of Tepotzotlan with its impressive Jesuit church and museum, the archaeological site of Tula Toltec with its famous Atlantean warrior statues, and the charming town of Queretaro known for its well-preserved historic center and aqueduct.
Mexico City celebrates Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in early November with elaborate altars, parades, and skeleton face paintings throughout the city. Mexican Independence Day on September 15-16 features celebrations in the Zocalo with the traditional Cry of Independence. Other major events include the Vive Latino music festival in March, Semana Santa (Holy Week) before Easter, and various cultural festivals like Otono Cultural in September, featuring visual and performance arts across the city.
Mexico City International Airport, also known as Benito Juarez International Airport, is located about 6 kilometers east of the city center. It's one of the busiest airports in Latin America with two terminals connected by an air train. The airport offers extensive international and domestic connections.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.
We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, weâd especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.
We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. Itâs worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. Itâs 5 star rating is well deserved.
We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable
Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.
We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.
Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.
Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.
We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.
We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.
