Airports & flights
Fly into Mexico City International (MEX) — closest to Polanco/Roma/Condesa. Felipe Ángeles (AIFA) is a cheaper alternative but ~1 hour farther out. Book early for November.
Where to stay
We recommend Polanco (upscale, near the venue), Roma Norte, or Condesa (leafy, walkable, lots of cafés and bars). All are a short Uber from both events.
Altitude heads-up
Mexico City sits at roughly 7,350 ft (2,240 m). The altitude is real — hydrate, take it easy on day one, and go gently on the mezcal until you have adjusted.
Getting around
Uber and Didi both work great and are inexpensive — far easier than hailing a street taxi. The metro is cheap but crowded; rideshare is our recommendation for evenings.
Money
Currency is the Mexican peso (MXN). Cards are widely accepted in Polanco/Roma/Condesa, but carry some cash for markets, small cafés, and tips.
Documents & passport
You will need a valid passport. Most visitors do not need a visa for short tourism — but please check your visa requirements for your nationality well in advance.
Tap water
Skip the tap water — stick to bottled or filtered water, which every hotel and restaurant provides. A good caution to avoid an upset stomach.
Tipping
Tipping (propina) is customary: 10–15% in restaurants, a few pesos for bellhops and drivers. Cash tips are appreciated.
Hotel room blocks
We have held room blocks at two hotels in Polanco. Mention the wedding when booking — details are in your invitation packet.
