In our return trip to Mexico City, we spent 3 more weeks in CDMX eating tacos, exploring the city’s neighborhoods, and getting sick from tap water. Yup, we still make mistakes too. So, in this video, we’re sharing a few of those mistakes, some helpful tips, and some "don'ts" when visiting.

From ATM safety and cultural etiquette to street food advice and public transportation, we’ve packed this video with everything we wish we knew before our first visit to Mexico City.

We’re not locals, but we’re trying to travel more thoughtfully, and if this helps even one person enjoy their time in Mexico a little more, it’s worth it.

So, whether you’re planning your first trip or have already landed in CDMX, hit play, and avoid learning some of these lessons the hard way.

📍 Featured neighborhoods: Roma Norte, Centro Histórico, Coyoacán, Paseo de la Reforma
💡 Tips covered: ATM use, tap water, what not to touch, scams, and more
