Mexico City questions

Is 5 days enough for Mexico City?

Five days covers the main neighborhoods and sites when grouped by area. Use the metro and buses to move between locations without long transfers.

Do I need to book Teotihuacan tickets ahead?

Buy tickets at the gate on arrival and start at 8 am to beat the crowds and the midday heat. One admission covers the whole site, including the on-site museum.

How do I get to Teotihuacan from Mexico City?

Catch a direct bus from Terminal del Norte that takes one hour each way. Buses leave every 15 minutes starting at 7 am.

Do I need to book the Museo Frida Kahlo in advance?

Reserve timed tickets online two weeks ahead because same-day entry is limited. Tickets cost 250 pesos and include the audio guide.
