[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a lovely city with great weather and amazing food, but it's enormous, and it's got its safety issues, similar to living in the DC area.  Tell your kid to be street smart, and they can easily google safety tips or read the US State department safety warnings.  My personal tips are: 1) always take authorized/registered taxis (rather than grabbing one off of the street) and 2) don't carry large bags or anything that would mark you as a foreigner/tourist while on public transportation.

I echo this. Always use a 'sitio' taxi, dont just call one off the street. Uber is fine too now. He will want to get some general awareness of good and bad neighborhoods and avoid the tougher ones like you would anywhere, but that's not specific to Mexico City. Does he speak Spanish?

I lived there several years in my 20s as a young female and it was fine as long as you knew and played by the rules. It's gotten SIGNIFICANTLY safer since those days, I'm shocked by how much safer it feels, I am sure he will be fine.[/quote]
