Can anyone tell me is Mexico city safe for Americans to travel?

I’ve been to Mexico City recently, and it’s pretty safe as long as you stay in good areas like Roma, Condesa, or Polanco. Just use common sense—don’t flash cash or valuables, stick to busy streets at night, and use Uber or registered taxis instead of random cabs. Overall, it’s a great place to visit and I never felt unsafe.

Yes -Mexico City is mostly safe provided that the Americans exercise common-sense caution.Here are the main points:

• It is Level 2: exercise increased caution as judged by the U.S. State Department.
• Strictly observe the safer neighborhoods such as Polanco, Condesa, Roma Norte and Coyoacan.
• Avoid places that are more dangerous (e.g. Tepito, Iztapalapa, Doctores), particularly at night.
• Take reliable transportation (Uber, DiDi) instead of the ones on the street.
• Watch out pick pocketing, fraudsters and ensure that valuables are concealed.

I can that check current alerts or safer areas in Mexico City during your dates of travel if you want.

I have been to Mexico City recently, it is relatively safe provided that you remain on good parts of the town, such as Roma, Condesa, or Polanco. Common sense will do: not showing money or jewelry, preferring to walk in the crowded streets at night and taking Uber or licensed taxis rather than catching the first cab. All in all, it is a nice place to go and I did not feel insecure.

1. Reside in popular areas such as Polanco, Roma Norte, Condesa or Coyoacan.
2. Rideshare apps or use taxis that are registered.
3. Do not carry a lot of cash or put on exuberant jewelry.
4. At night and in less tourist areas be careful.

Previously, this is the advice that the U.S. State Department now gives before traveling, by checking its travel advisories.
