There is an upscale chain of department stores called Palacio de Hierro. There is one in Polanco and one in Condesa. It has everything you could ever need in the way of clothes and is located a short uber or walk from any hotel.
While for all of our events, we will be providing transportation from the hotels, you can also use Uber. Uber is easy, affordable, and safe. In the Polanco, Roma, Condesa neighborhoods, you can easily walk to your destinations.
Like any large city, certain parts of Mexico City are known to be dangerous, but Mexico City itself is safe. There are neighborhoods that should be avoided, but if you stick to recommended areas and use common sense, you should be okay! Here are a few do's and don’ts we recommend when exploring the city, especially Downtown: DO: - Take Uber late at night instead of walking (as you would anywhere). - Look both ways when crossing streets, and don't assume anyone will slow down for you — cars and scooters own the road! - Dial 911 for police / 066 for ambulance. DON'T: - Expose your valuables/status. Phones hanging out of back pockets, flashing cash, and large cameras might lure a pickpocket. - Bring your most expensive accessories.
NO. Do not drink the tap water in Mexico City. Please buy and order bottled water. Here are some other tips: - Avoid raw fruits and vegetables that do not have a peeling such as salads, tomatoes, berries, grapes, etc. - Order bottled water at restaurants. - Always ask for NO ice. - Drink bottled water and lots of it (due to the altitude)
The airport does not allow Uber pickups, but they do provide taxis that will safely get you to your accommodation. There is a taxi stand where you tell them your address and buy a flat rate ticket.
There are a lot of beautiful sights and delicious places to eat in Mexico City! If you are looking for what to do Friday after Xochimilco, here are a few suggestions.

Nope, Mexico uses the same plugs as the United States!
The U.S. dollar cannot be used in México, so bring Mexican pesos with you or get some from the nearest ATM when you arrive. Most places also take credit cards, but it’s best to have some cash for tips, public restrooms, street tacos, etc. You’ll see the $ sign on all prices, but this refers to the Mexican peso, not the U.S. dollar. The conversion is typically about $20 pesos to $1 dollar.
