Expedited Processing - apply by January 1, 2025

Visit the State Department website for information on how to apply.

The average high in March ranges from 74 to 78 in the day and lows of 46 to 49 at night.

The weather is springy although you may want to bring a jacket at night.

Keep an eye on the weather in real-time here.

The best way to exchange money is to withdraw from an ATM using your debit card once you arrive to Mexico City.

Cash can also be exchanged at the airport at a currency exchange service which you’ll see once you’ve collected your baggage and exited the customs area. Again, the best option is to withdraw pesos at an ATM once you get settled.

You can also order pesos from your local bank before you depart, but this is not necessary.

We would not be getting married here if we didn’t deem it safe. While certain parts of Mexico are known to be dangerous, Mexico City itself is safe. Like any major city, there are neighborhoods that should be avoided, but if you stick to recommended areas and use common sense, you should be fine! Here are a few do's and don'ts we recommend when exploring the city:

DO’s

• Take Uber late at night instead of walking (as you would anywhere).

• Look both ways when crossing streets, and don't assume anyone will slow down for you — cars and scooters own the road!

• Dial 911 for police / 066 for ambulance.

DONT’s

• Expose your valuables.

• Phones hanging out of back pockets, flashing cash, and large cameras might lure a pickpocket.

• Bring your most expensive accessories.

• Carry tons of cash.

Most mobile phone plans will work in Mexico City and some are free of charge. The best way to communicate is through WhatsApp. Wi-fi is widely available at restaurants, bars, etc.

Please plan to arrive by the night of Thursday, February 27, but if you have time to arrive earlier or stay later to explore CDMX and beyond, DO IT!

If you plan to arrive on Saturday, the day of the ceremony, traffic can cause delays of up to 2 hours or more!

Refer to the Wedding page for an outline of the weekend’s activities.

We love Mexico City and encourage everyone to stay and experience the city as well as other parts of the country. Intra-Mexico flights are very inexpensive! Some great places to visit are the beaches of Todos Santos or Puerto Escondido.

For nearby excursions, visit San Miguel de Allende or Puebla.

Once you land, the best way to get from the airport to your accommodation is to use Uber. Uber rides in Mexico city are abundant and cheap.

You’ll need to ensure that your phone is working in Mexico for this option. You can also connect to the airport’s WiFi to use Uber.

The best way to get around the city is using the Uber app. It’s safe, professional and cheap. It’s typically ~$3 to $5 to get most places in the city with Uber. Walking is another way to explore this beautiful city!

Absolutely not. Mexico City has plenty of public transportation - buses, subways and taxis - but Uber is the best way to get around.

Mexico City's tap water is undrinkable (for locals and tourists alike). We advise drinking bottled water 100% of the time. If you drink ice, make sure it is cylindrical with a hole in the middle (so you know it's made from purified water). Travel with some Pepto or Immodium, just in case.

Please see our City Guide. As Mexico City is one of the largest cities in the world, this list is by no means exhaustive, but we’ve included our favorites and must-visits!

Generally, you should tip about 10-15% at a restaurant. This may be added to the bill by the restaurant itself (look for the propina charge). On drinks, it’s typical to tip about 15% on the bill, or about 20 pesos per drink.
