📍Getting There

Fly into Mexico City International (MEX) or Felipe Ángeles (NLU). The Metro and Metrobús cover the whole city cheaply — Línea 12 reaches the stadium area. Rideshare (Uber/Didi) is reliable but plan for traffic.

Local Tips

  • Estadio Azteca opens the tournament — the only stadium to host 3 World Cup openings (1970, 1986, 2026)
  • Stay in Roma Norte, Condesa, or Polanco for the best food, walkability, and safety
  • Altitude is 7,350 ft — give yourself a day to acclimate before exerting much
  • Eat at fondas (small family kitchens) for authentic, affordable Mexican home cooking
