Mexico... must be absolutely lovely country to visit, but due to gangs 'activities' its a no-go for me and my family, or myself alone. I don't mind backpacking semi-safe 3rd world countries alone where I stick like a sore thumb in any crowd, but this is next level(s) of unsafe.
We have few friends who go there (not specifically here) even with kids, mostly due to low costs, stating all is fine and beheadings are happening 100/200km further away but I can't even begin to explain how stupid such argument is. To each their own.
- leephillips 2y agoMexico City is safe and a wonderful place to visit - if, like me, you like big cities.
- javierluraschi 2y agoIt really depends which state you go to. Also, statistically speaking, probably riskier to drive your car compared to visiting Mexico City for vacation; that said, insecurity is bad and needs to be fixed.
- leephillips 2y agoState? Insecurity in a safe city? I don’t understand your comment.
- ambarp2 2y agoI moved to Mexico City from San Francisco. CDMX is cleaners and safer than Mission Bay in SF!

- unixhero 2y agoI stayed in the wonderful hotel while on a layover in Houston. I just didn't feel like roaming the streets, it didn't feel safe. Flew to Monterrey Mexico the next day. No school shootings!
- kalyantm 2y agoThe funny part about this is I travelled all over Mexico and most locals told me that they are scared to travel to the US because there's a high chance they'll be shot. Call it personal experience, but I've felt MUCH safer in CDMX than in any major US city.
- lamp_book 2y agoCDMX feels pretty safe, it’s the more rural areas you need to be cautious. It’s essentially inverted in the US.
