Frequently asked

Which neighbourhood is best for a working stay?
Roma Norte and Condesa are the nomad standards — leafy streets, strong cafés, fast Wi-Fi, and an easy ride to Estadio Azteca on match days. Polanco is pricier but quieter; Centro Histórico is the wrong call for a working trip.
How do I get to Azteca on match day?
The metro line runs close but is packed; ride-share is the practical move if you leave at least two hours early. Surge after final whistle is brutal — walk a few blocks before requesting, or hang back at a bar until the wave clears.
Is mobile data fast enough across the city?
Mexican carriers are solid in CDMX but stadium zones crawl on match days. Combine a local SIM or regional eSIM with your coworking’s Wi-Fi for client calls. Always have one backup connection ready, not just one.
How do I keep money flowing without losing on FX?
Pay in MXN with a fee-free multi-currency card and decline the terminal’s "convert to your currency" offer. Withdraw cash in larger amounts to amortise ATM fees, and keep CDN/USD balances ready for the cross-border travel days.
