> That said, Mexico has become a dumpster fire and the old days of "just stay in the tourist areas and you'll be safe" are long over. I enjoyed my time in Mexico earlier this year. Mexico City was wonderful, everywhere I went in the downtown core felt safe, no different than Chicago or NYC. There were wonderful plazas, street musicians playing, and great food everywhere. Granted the cops every other block helped add to the feeling of safety. Parts of other cities felt sketchy, but then again parts of every city feel sketchy. (With a few exceptions, I've walked around Edinburgh randomly and everyplace I went was wonderful.)
