Night Life in Mexico City
Mexico City is constantly buzzing with activities and is a great place to go out, day or night. Whatever your style or preference, you are sure to find something suited to your mood. Blues, discos, hard core metal bands, jazz and salsa dancing are some of the things you will find during a night out on the town in here. With virtually unlimited options, enjoy the night life is certainly one of the most popular things to do in Mexico City.
Going Out Safe
Mexico City is bustling with life, there are a few things you should keep in mind as you wander the streets of the largest city in Mexico at night. First of all, it is safest to take a cab to your destination instead of walking but I recommend that you call a cab from your hotel instead of wave one down on the street.
This ensures that the cab is from a licensed cab company, whereas anyone could pick you up when flagging down a cab. Also, don’t forget to ask the price before you even get into a cab. This way you will avoid any surprises when you get to your destination and have a 400 peso cab fare to pay.
Second, carry a minimal amount of cash and belongings. I recommend bringing the amount of money you think you’ll spend and a backup, like a debit card, for any unexpected expenses. There is no need for you to bring a huge purse with all of your personal belongings to a bar. Leave them at the hotel in the safe if you’re worried about them.
Third, be prepared for high a cover charge if you are going to a popular place, especially if a band is playing or it is a disco. Sometimes ladies can get in for free before a certain hour, so research the place before you go. Also, many people in Mexico go out very late. They might start out the night at 11 p.m. or midnight and head home during the wee hours of the morning.
Also, people are very image conscious and it is not uncommon for someone to be turned away from a night club if he or she doesn’t fit the profile (due to fashion trends, etc.). If you or someone in your group is rejected from a place, keep your calm and move on. There are better times waiting ahead of you!
Finally, if you want to research your options before you go out, check out Tiempo Libre available online or in newsstands. If you want information in English, look for The News, an English-language newspaper that has a small weekend guide.
