Discover Mexico: Adventures, Culture, and Unforgettable Journeys!

For most travelers from Europe and North America, no visa is required if the stay is under 180 days. Instead, you will receive a tourist card upon entering the country. This is issued free of charge at airports or can be applied for online. Check the current requirements before traveling, depending on your nationality and purpose of stay.

The Cancún Airport is considered one of the best for tourists, as it serves numerous international flights. Mexico City’s airport is also good for cultural experiences, especially for city trips. Both airports offer good connections to hotels and attractions, preferably use shuttle services or taxis for a safe arrival.

The local currency in Mexico is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Credit cards are accepted in most tourist areas, but it is advisable to always have some cash for smaller purchases. ATMs are widespread, but check the fees that may be charged by your bank beforehand. Exchange money at official exchange offices or banks for the best rates.

Vaccinations are not mandatory, but recommendations for Hepatitis A and Typhoid exist for short stays. A travel insurance is highly recommended to cover health risks. Also ensure that your overseas health insurance covers the necessary services. Check COVID-19 regulations before departure.

To drive in Mexico, you need a valid driver’s license, ideally recognized internationally. Also check the traffic rules, which may differ from those in Europe or North America. Rental cars are widely available, but traffic in cities can be challenging. Inform yourself about the liability and comprehensive insurance of the rental car.
