  • Mexico ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) or your nearest Mexican consulate; keep proof of your entry (stamp or digital record) until you leave.
  • Mexico ↗Security advice differs by state: some governments advise against travel to parts of several states. Check your own government's advice for each region on your route.
  • Mexico ↗Do not drink tap water; use bottled or filtered water and ice from reliable places.
  • Mexico City and central highlands ↗Day trips from the capital start early: go by an early bus or booked driver, and be back before the evening traffic.
  • Mexico City ↗The city sits at about 2,240 m: pace the first day, drink water, and skip strenuous climbs (the castle path) if breathless.
  • Mexico City ↗The Zócalo is fenced for concerts, marches and national events (notably around 15 September and the Day of the Dead weeks): check the day before and plan a side-street route.
  • Mexico City ↗Between clusters use a ride-hailing app, hotel taxi or authorised site taxi; do not hail a cab on the street.
