However, the crime rates are noteworthy in the capital, thus a few safety measures can reduce getting into hazardous conditions. Here are some of the necessary precautions which you need to take while travelling to Mexico.

Robberies take place in areas where foreigners tend to visit more. These regions include Plaza Garibaldi and Zona Rosa. So, it is always good to be conscious of the airport and bus stations. It is recommended to avoid carrying valuables and a large amount of cash as the crowded metro cars and buses are patent places of pickpockets.

So, one thing to remember is that you should avoid getting into taxis parked in front of nightclubs or restaurants unless they are certified by the management of the club or restaurant.
