"The Pink Zone" Mexico City by kevinism

I was in Mexico for one day and I went directly to to Zona Rosa. It is pretty safe. Police were conspicuous by their presence in all tourist areas. Of course we need to maintain basic safety precautions. The streets were beautiful with lots of trees and very well kept. As soon as the sun went down, the crazies came out of the woodwork and it was like a circus! People in all sorts of costumes were everywhere. And this was on a Thursday!

If you need a taxi, take the ones with a Red stripe from the 'Sitio' and you don't have to bargain. They go by the meter. If you flag a taxi from the road you may have to bargain.
We did not try the infamous green taxis - It is better to avoid them considering their past reputation. Avoid taking taxis from the hotels - they are a rip off. Ask the directions to a Sitio nearby you can also find them on the Mexico city maps available on the internet.
