Let\u2019s Recap:<\/p>\n

In January 2013, I took a trip to Mexico City for 3 nights and 4 days. – Trip Report: Everything You Need To Know About Mexico City<\/a><\/p>\n

In November 2013, I spent 18 hours in Mexico City – Trip Report: My Mexico City and Santiago Mileage Run Vacation<\/a><\/p>\n

In December 2013, I spent another 18 hours in Mexico City – Trip Report: My Mexico City and Santiago Mileage Run Vacation Part 2<\/a><\/p>\n

In January 2014, I spent 2 nights and 3 days in Mexico City – Trip Report: My Mileage Run Vacation to Buenos Aires and Mexico City<\/a><\/p>\n

In March 2014, I spent a total of 2 nights and 3 days in Mexico City – Trip Report: My Mileage Run Vacation to Mexico City, Lima, Buenos Aires, and Santiago<\/a> (work in progress)<\/p>\n

As a single traveler, I\u2019ve never once felt threatened on the streets of Mexico City. I\u2019ve been to pretty much every major neighborhood of Mexico City as you can see within the depth of my trip reports. I\u2019ve taken the subway from Mexico City International Airport to the city center numerous times and almost use the metro exclusively when getting from point A to point B.<\/p>\n

The people of Mexico City just mind their own business and go on with their daily lives keeping it to themselves. I\u2019ve been approached a few times by strangers asking for directions because they\u2019ve mistaken me for a local. The only other times I\u2019ve been approached is when someone is trying to sell me something.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s perfectly safe to walk in Mexico City throughout the daytime and to an extent at night, but don\u2019t go out in the rural areas. As I\u2019ve said previously, I feel really safe in Mexico City and I believe it\u2019s safer than my hometown of Los Angeles. Don\u2019t miss out on this extremely underrated city immersed with culture.<\/p>\n
