Is it safe to travel in Mexico?

Not very safe!

Public security situation

Mexico City, as the capital city of Mexico, has a good overall public security situation, especially in the inner ring area of the city. However, as a country with a high crime rate, Mexico should not act alone at night, and tourists should try to move in crowded places.

Suggestion: If individuals travel to Mexico, please carefully consider the safety measures. Mexican property has been stolen from time to time. Please take good care of your finances.

1, please don't carry a lot of cash, try to use credit card, check or check card or traveler's check;

2. Take care of your belongings and check whether there are any left-over items or money when you leave the hotel;

Please don't talk to strangers when members go out. It is best not to act alone, especially at night.

When encountering robbery, don't resist forcibly, but deal with it calmly. After the robbery, if the loss is large, you should report it to the police station immediately.

Social customs and habits

1, Mexico is cheerful and likes to chat up the opposite sex. If this happens while traveling, it is wise not to respond and avoid eye contact. However, Mexicans also have a conservative side. They attach great importance to the rigor and solemnity of dressing in public places, so men must wear trousers and women must wear long skirts in public places.

2. In Mexico, generally don't ask each other, especially the age of women, don't ask others about their marital status casually, and don't ask others about their salary, income and property.

There are many activities in Mexican churches. If you happen to encounter religious activities during the tour, watch it quietly and don't disturb it. Pay special attention not to talk about related topics with Christians, and don't casually mention Notre Dame de Guadalupe, because it is considered blasphemous.

4. If you visit the Indian community in Mexico, visitors should pay attention to respect the customs and beliefs of the local people, and don't act rashly to avoid disrespecting the gods they worship.

Like many countries in the world, there are many kinds of tips to enjoy services in Mexico. In general, you need to tip 10 peso (1 US dollars 1 1 peso) to bellmen, porters and room cleaners. When dining in a restaurant, you need to tip the waiter about one tenth of the consumption, while when taking a taxi, you don't have to tip the driver, but you need to tip the oiler.

National taboo

Mexicans believe that purple is an unlucky coffin color and should be avoided. This has led to a big taboo-you can't give gifts to Mexicans, you can't send purple objects or gifts wrapped in purple. Wearing purple clothes is not welcome when you visit others or parade in the city. In Mexico, yellow flowers mean death, and red flowers mean spells. In business activities, it should be noted that smiling and shaking hands are their greetings in Mexico.
