In Mexico City, the summers (June – August) are rainy and the winters (December – February) are chilly. The best time to visit then is between March and May (spring). The streets may be fairly crowded around this time, but you’ll get beautiful weather (temperatures sit around the mid-20s), and the hotel prices will be reasonable. You can get the best hotel rates in winter, but these are the coldest months in Mexico City (the average low temperatures sit around 5°C).

While exploring Mexico City, make sure your valuables are in a secure place and out of sight at all times, especially in crowded areas such as tourist attractions and public transport hubs.
Stay safe by practising basic common sense. If you need a taxi, rather call one instead of hailing one. There is a free mobile app, called Taxiaviso, that lets you verify if a cab is official by checking the taxi licence number against government-provided data. There is also a specialised prosecution office for foreigners, with multilingual staff. Its offices are located at Victoria Street 76, Centro Historico.
Make sure you get all the routine vaccinations at least four to six weeks before your trip to Mexico City. Other diseases to beware of include Zika, malaria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and rabies.
