Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Mexico City largely depends on your preferences for weather, budget, events and crowd levels. Also, it depends on your personal preferences and what you want to experience during your trip. Here's a breakdown of the different seasons:

Dry Season (November–April): This is the best time to visit Mexico City, with clear skies and ideal conditions for exploring historic sites, outdoor markets, and Teotihuacán pyramids. Tourist numbers peak in December and during Semana Santa (Holy Week), making flights and hotels expensive. Outside of these holidays, crowds are moderate, and prices are reasonable.

Rainy Season (May–October): This period sees afternoon showers and occasional storms, but mornings remain pleasant for sightseeing. Major events like Día de los Muertos (late October–early November) draw large crowds, while summer months see fewer tourists. Prices are lower during this time, except around festivals.
