This southern Mexico City borough sits well outside the main downtown core, so visitors based here should expect a longer trip into the city center. Staying near the canal district keeps the area's markets and waterways close at hand.
The famous network of canals and floating gardens is best visited earlier in the day, before the busiest midday crowds arrive, especially on weekends. Daylight hours are ideal for the colorful boat trips the area is known for.
The metro and light rail connect this district to central Mexico City, though the final approach to the canals often involves a short taxi or local combi ride. Once there, boats are the main way to see the waterways themselves.
The dry, mild months from roughly November through April tend to bring the most comfortable weather for a day on the canals. The rainy season, June through September, can bring sudden afternoon downpours.
Mexico uses the MXN, calling code +52.
Mexico's currency is the peso, and Spanish is the national language. Bargaining is common in local markets, and a friendly, patient manner tends to go further than a rushed one.
