WHERE TO STAY
SFAN recommends finding accommodations in the Roma Norte or Condesa neighborhoods where many Americans live and stay. AirBNB has a large selection, from traditional Mexican homes & apartments to modern condos. Kitchens and washer/dryers often make these places feel more like home.
There are plenty of boutique hotels and larger hotels to choose from in the Roma Norte and Condesa that will offer more safety to your stay. And staff can help out with your questions and make suggestions.
TRANSPORTATION
SFAN suggests that you fly into MEX/AICM Mexico City International Airport. An alternative to major US airlines, Volaris airlines is Mexico's budget airline much like Southwest airlines, and offers affordable airfare from a select number of US cities. Transportation from the airport to the Condesa or Roma Norte via an Uber usually runs around $35 and takes 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. Note that taxis tend to be a target for thieves looking for wealthy tourists, so Ubers are safer to use.
Transportation around Mexico City is very affordable. An Uber can run $2 to $10 within the city where the tours will be held. The Metro subway trains cost 3 cents per ride and the Metrobus buses cost 6 cents per ride.
Transportation to and from our meeting places is not included in the SFAN ART & FOOD TOURS.
Meeting places for each tour will be announced in registration confirmation emails.

SPEAKING SPANISH & SAFETY
The people of Mexico are warm and friendly, but many do not speak English. SFAN will supply you in advance with an easy-to-use Spanish language glossary of commonly used words, greetings, and phrases for you to study and refer to if needed.
Overall, Mexico City is safe. Most of the city core is policed well, much like Manhattan. In recent years, Mexico City's government has increased security patrols in most areas. Touring in groups allows for more safety. However, one should always be mindful of their surroundings and exercise caution at all times.
Mexico City is typically warm in February & March with high temperatures ranging from 70°F to 75°F.
It rarely rains during this time of year.
