Advice Solo Travel in Mexico City: Tips and Plans

[Prickly Platypus]

Hey everyone! I'm planning a solo trip to Mexico City from August 26 to September 3, and I'm excited to explore but could use some advice. I'm looking for recommendations on must-see sights, local cuisine, and any hidden gems that might be off the typical tourist path. Also, if anyone has tips on navigating the city or suggestions for budget-friendly activities, that would be awesome. Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Mexico City is a fantastic choice for solo travel! For must-see sights, I recommend exploring the historic center, including the Zócalo and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Don't miss the Frida Kahlo Museum and the ancient ruins of Teotihuacan just outside the city. For local cuisine, definitely try tacos al pastor and visit a local mercado for authentic street food. As for hidden gems, check out the neighborhood of Coyoacán for a more local vibe. Navigating the city is best done using the metro—it's affordable and efficient. Have you thought about joining any local tours for a deeper dive into the culture?
