[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family has decided on a trip to Mexico City for spring break.

The only time I've been is for work meetings in my 20s, so I went to the clubs in the early 2000s (and the brunch places to soak up the booze) but I haven't seen many of the sights other than the Archaeological Museum.

My kid are excited about the trip, and are good travelers but not adventure travelers.  Where could we stay close to many of the sites that would be comfortable?

What did your family visit there that you enjoyed?

I am thinking we should go to Taxco.  Anywhere else?

Both of us parents are fluent in Spanish (we both lived in Latin America) so that part doesn't really worry me.[/quote]

Don't look rich.
Don't stand out or look lost. 
Dress to blend in. 
Don't carry all your cash but don't leave it in the hotel either. 
Have small amounts of money in different pockets to pay off cops or stickup men. 
Be careful using taxis if you do any of the above. Do not use busses at all. 
Don't have a daily routine that can be noticed, and change hotels during your stay.

Depending on where you have lived before, as you mentioned, you should know all this already, but Mexico is a little different, so be aware of that.

Yep, I took similar precautions in Aghanistan circa 2003. lmao[/quote]

Was probably safer in Afghanistan then than MC these days. [/quote]

Hummm, let's see....

Warzone with multiple engagements

CDMX  loaded with digital nomad nerds who seem to be doing just fine. [/quote]
