SAFETY NOTES
- 01Tourist neighborhoods (Roma, Condesa, Polanco, Coyoacán) are very safe day and night.
- 02Use Uber or Didi instead of street taxis — 'express kidnappings' are rare but reported with hailed cabs.
- 03Avoid Tepito, Doctores after dark, and the eastern boroughs (Iztapalapa) unless guided.
- 04Altitude is 2,240 m — go easy on alcohol and exertion the first 48 h.
- 05Drink filtered or bottled water; ice in established restaurants is fine.
