Mexico City What to Pack

A trip to Mexico City can be an amazing experience, but there are a few things to do at home to make sure it’s the best trip it can be. Start by making sure you pack all necessary items (such as passport and weather-appropriate clothes) to ensure a happy stay. Here are a few other must-have things to remember to bring before you head to the airport.

Luggage

No matter what you have planned for your Mexico City adventure, these luggage options are ideal for a short or long-term stay.

Personal Hygiene Products

As you prepare to travel to Mexico City, make sure you gather up all the personal hygiene items you will need for your trip, including toothpaste, lotion, shaving gel, razor, and shampoo. Toiletries can be more expensive if you are staying at a resort, and it may not be safe to travel into town and visit a store yourself, so be sure you pack what you need.

Medications

Pack your medications with you. Both prescription and over-the-counter medications are different in Mexico. You will want to have familiar brands, if needed, that help with a variety of ailments, including head, stomach, and sinus issues.

Closed-Toe Shoes

When visiting a warm climate, you may want to throw on sandals or flip-flops. But when visiting Mexico City, you will want to wear closed-toe shoes. Mexico City is home to many insects that can bite your feet, including fire ants, sand fleas, and black flies. Protect your feet by wearing closed-toe shoes.

Baby Carrier

If traveling with a little one, ditch the stroller and use a baby carrier. There are not always sidewalks and roads are not always paved, making it difficult for strollers.
