Getting Around
Move around the city cheaply and avoid all the traffic. Subway in Mexico City is good for moving around, even to the main tourist's destinations. It can move you faster than any Uber, bus, taxi or any other transportation. Our advice though is to be patient in some routes, and try not to use it at rush hours or rainy days since it can get really crowded.
