I went to Mexico City for the first time last year and it wasn’t what I expected. It was my mom’s reunion with her family after 32 years. It’s very clean, green, and modern.

I lived 27 years in Coyoacan and never had any problem, my Dad used to take money out from the bank and walk home and he never had any problem either , now I live in Houston and I am scare to go to Walmart 😮

Odiada por muchos amada por otros, pero mi CDMX es la mejor, tiene todo y no tiene que pedir nada a otras ciudades del mundo ❤

The people in tents in CDMX are not homeless they are protestors not really dangerous they are there to protest agants government not to rob you, yeah speaking spanish would help you clear many misconceptions

El Valle is a very nice area 98!% of CDMX is very safe

I think Mexico City is MUCH cleaner, safer and friendlier thank NYC. Hands down.

Choosing the right location can really double the fun of traveling! That quesadilla looks delicious! And that brushed cheese is so tempting! That market looks very safe, I would like to go shopping there! Thank you for sharing your true feelings and suggestions. I believe it will be of great help to people who want to travel to Mexico, really great job! 👍😍🙏

Hey! As a mexican citizen I can recommend you places to visit that are much better than just staying in Polanco or La condesa: You must go to Santa Fé, especially a park called "La mexicana", other option is San Ángel, for eating there's a restaurant called San Ange inn, Coyoacán.

They served you "Cafe de olla", which is a variation of coffee here in México, usually made with Piloncillo (a form of raw pure cane sugar), cinnamon and sometimes people add other aromatic spices. Also is made in an "Olla", which is a typical cooking clay pot.

I stayed in zona Rosa some days, I used to go out of the clubs at 4-5 am, then I walked for some tacos and came to my Airbnb without any problem. At least, I never felt threatened or in danger

Mexico City is not only La Condesa, Roma Norte or Polanco, and I’m sure you are aware of it. Next time tray also Narvaete, Del Valley, Napoles, San Ángel, Chimalistac, Santa Fe, Guadalupe Inn, Florida, Coyoacan and Ciudad Universitaria (UNAM), only to name a few. You won’t be disappointed.

I'm Mexican and i've lived my entire life here in CDMX and i can tell you i have never encounter some sort of crime or danger even tho i don't necessarily live in the nicest places like "La condeza" or "Roma Norte", I think it all depends on which routes you take. Over all i think Mexico city is pretty safe.

SAFER THAN ANY BIG CITY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,YES MÉXICO CITY IS VERY SAFE! Greetings from Chicago

Mexico City is HUGE, those hoods you walked are just a tiny portion of safe, beautiful hoods in the city, You need years to really get to know Mexico City. Regards!

Mexico City is actually on par with major US cities for crime. I'd have been more concerned walking the streets of Vegas than CdMx (as a Phoenician). The one area you REALLY want to avoid is Tepito. This has historically always been a rough area, even before the Spanish arrived. New subscriber here, just found your channel this morning and watched all the Mexico vids, and Vegas. Love your energy!

Your videos about Mexico are very honest, I like your video style.🤠

Glad you have enjoyed your stay in Mexico, I came here 38 years ago from LA and never went back, the food is outstanding here, friendly people, and it's a bit pricey because you're staying in an upper-class neighborhood. Come back soon!

I lived in Mexico City for 10 years, the only people who mugged me were the police.😂😂😂

Mexico City is one of my favorite cities on earth. Been to over 40 countries (mainly Middle East/Asia and Europe). I am in Puchuca right now with my wife's family but I was there this Sunday visiting mundial Pixel with the family. The city obviously has it's bad areas liek any other city, but there so much amazingness especially in La Condessa, Roma and Polanco.

17:34 about the prices, theres places called "cocinitas" wich serves full plates and at very low costs, from $3 up to $5. and its very good and tradicional food

You´ve been recording for days in the City and people still think is dangerous, not to offend anyone who is looking at your videos BUT, if they think that the city/country is dangerous, it is an stereotype that should change and they should not come, if the people looking at your videos know that they should not believe everything the TV or news say to them then, they are welcomed. People need to stop the hate and know every other country is not an extension of the US and things are different, México receives anyone who is respectful to our country, traditions, etc. Keep it up my man, I see you loved the city and you should, you will never get bored in CDMX, there is always something to do, a new place to go. RESPECT!

One more thing I wanted to comment: you kept mentioning "la condensa" but is in fact "la condesa" con-deh-sa, without the second "n". It means the countess. You kept making me laugh. No insult intended, just pure fun.

I’m surprised you went to Philadelphia. As a Mexican American living near Philadelphia I’d be more worried around most parts of Philly than Mexico 😂

You are in the most expensive area of mexico, prices are for tourist, to get much, much better and cheap food you stay out of the tourist sites anywhere in mexico, youll find a 180 much richer experience and its very safe, as long you are not in drug scene youll be safe anywhere in Mexico

Came here to our Bangkok's blog, staed here for you Mexico's blogs

The cheese was inside of the tortilla, and then You can put it, salsa, lime o just like this.

My mom and I love your videos on Mexico. Thanks!

New subscriber here from the Philippines 🇵🇭. I came across your Philadelphia video. I am hooked. Watched a lot of your videos. Very informative content. 🏠⛩️🏖️. We miss you in the Philippines ♥️🇵🇭

Mexico, fantastic!

There are tons of perfectly safe neighborhoods in Mexico City that are not Roma Norte, La Condesa or Polanco. Tourists stay in those neighborhoods because that's all they ever hear about or ever seem to visit, but much of the city is decently safe, even many of the areas that may not appear as nice. Juarez, which was mentioned in the video, is not dangerous. Tourists really should try leaving the bubble of those few neighborhoods and visit other parts of the city. Crime can happen anywhere, no matter how nice the neighborhood is, that's just a reality of large cities, but as long as you use common sense, you're going to be fine. I've personally been to Tepito many times, no problems. It certainly has a questionable reputation, but not like it used to. Also, you said Mexico City is not that cheap- that's for a reason. Those 3 neighborhoods are some of the most expensive in the city and mostly cater to tourists and upper-income residents, so prices will be higher there than almost anywhere else, even for street food. Another good reason to venture out. Also, for the love of god, I wish people would stop recommending Santa Fe. It's a suburban office district with one nice park. It's not walkable, there's nothing else to do there and it's far from everything else.

Hola Zane , te faltó mucho por conocer en la hermosa CDMX , dentro de la misma hay los llamados " pueblos mágico" por ejemplo, son hermosos y llenos de su propia historia , personalidad y gastronomía; en cualquier farmacia te compras un bálsamo para los labios a un costo bajo😊😊😊 , regresa pronto!

Yes!! I'm so glad u enjoy Mexico City. I plan to go one day. I knew it was Safe. ❤

Zane !!! Your videos in Mexico City has been awesome!!!

Loved your Mexico City series. I recommend you go back during September. Specifically around September 15th-16th to experience Independence Day or during October/November for Dia De Los Muertos.

Great video of México City!!!❤

great videos, i hope you had very good times here in mexico

Thank you sharing and very informative 🌺🙏

It's nice to know that these cities are quite safe. They have many cafés, bars and boutiques that look interesting. I'm probably the same in the fact that I don't dare to go outside alone at night.

I must disagree Tepito is awesome and friendly to tourists, just keep yourself out of trouble, dont act like a jerk and you will be fine.

15:20 thats not bread its a variation of tortilla made with flour, the usaul tortillas are from corn, (the flour tortilla is from the north parts of mexico)

i love your video style simple and good

The tents are people who are protesting the goverment. Mexico would absolutely not accept homeless people popping out with tents to live in at all!

Really enjoyed your Mexico City vlogs, you really put a lot of interest in going on a future trip over there. Seems very safe, what did you mean by level 2 similar to Manila? Btw I’m back in the Philippines. Did a few days in El Nido, Palawan, island hopping it’s so gorgeous seeing and visiting those Limestone formations islands! Also seen one of the 7 wonders of Nature Puerto Princesa Underground River, spectacular! Another few days in Siargao, Mangrove rivers, fireflies at night, Sunset Bridge, Tayangban Cave Pool, and more! Hopefully you come back to The Philippines and explore more places like Davao, Ilocos Region, more areas of Metro Manila! Safe travels!!!

Hello, to begin with, it's not condensa, it's countess (condesa), kondeza, I inform you that Mexico City is one of the safest in the world of its kind, and it is among the ten safest in Mexico, and not only in Roma or Polanco, the entire city It is very safe, achievment from 5 years ago, obviously if the possibility of being robbed in some places increases by a percentage, but believe me, everything is well monitored and controlled, not just the "tourist" places as you believe, in fact CDMX is not already done nor was it thought of in tourists, everything you see has been thought of by local inhabitants, that city has only been exploited for tourism in the last 15 or 20 years ago, one fact: there are more than 80,000 cameras throughout the city connected to a large control center, bigbrother, and its police and organization is an example, greetings

Come on guys, its like NY, would you go with a camera to the bronx at night? NO. Would you go to Iddlewood in LA at midnight? NO He's too afraid, because all the news on american tv about Mexico. Mexico is a big country, almost the size of west europe. Some other safe places are Coyoacan, San Angel, Tlalpan center, all the zone between down town and Coyoacan are safe, not only the 2 neighborhoods he walked.

it's like any other place, if you are looking for troubles you will find it out.

it's La Condesa, meaning "the countess" Condensa sounds like condensation happening lol

Thank you for sharing😊😊

Definitely makes me want to go there now!

Mexico: amazing and beautiful!

I was working during a year in the "most dangerous zone" on the metropolitan area on Mexico City, nothing happened to me, the people are mostly friendly like in every corner of my country, you are welcome to come back to every city and know the real Mexico, and not only the rich people neighborhoods!

"Neveria Roxy" is very traditional and famous in Mexico city. A lot of famous mexican artists try icecreams there.

You need to get a chapstick with spf, being at a higher altitude you get more uvb exposure. 😊

what do you record with? It looks amazing :O

Hi, my dear gringo friend. I am mexican and though I am originally from the nothern mexican border, I've been living in Mexico City (CDMX), for twelve years now. I regreat very much the fact that you found the "angel de la independencia" monument, surrounded by a metal barrier, which authorities set up when something like a popular manifestation of some kind is announced and they protect these monuments from being damaged. Should it have not been for that, you would've apreciated it in it's full splendorous glory. I also wanted to comment about your walk to la condesa and the park you encountered where you had chips and there whas an art display and in your video you showed a feline, it was the "bosque de Chapultepec." It is the largest park in Mexico City and I've heard itś even bigger that NY's central park. There is a zoo in there, several lakes an the magnificient "Castillo de Chapultepec" which is an impressive display of beauty and elegance from it's historic period. You very much need an interpreter or translator; an insider that allows you to take in the many things that you loose because of not understanding the language. I gather you will not come back very soon, but when you do, I will gladly accompany you and help you appreciate this great city better. No charge intended.

I am BEGGING all tourists to visit other places other than Roma - Condesa - Centro. the city really is HUGE and there is SO MUCH MORE to do.

Hi there, I’m thinking of coming down next week for the Madonna concert by myself. The arena is Palacio de los Deportes and is located a few minutes from the airport but the show won’t be over until probably after midnight and I’ve heard just anecdotally from some Reddit style posts online that the area is kinda dicey after dark. I would like your 100% honest take on going to the show alone and then catching the Uber back to the airport and heading home. Is it safe? Thanks so much! 🙏🏾💜

MÉXICO ES HERMOSO SUS ESTADOS MARAVILLOSOS TAMBIÉN GUANAJUATO MONTERREY CHIHUAHUA SONORA CULIACÁN PUEBLA JALISCO

Que bueno que probaste los tacos de pastor son los.mejores y el café es de olla de barro y suelen endulzarlo con piloncillo.

I think Mexico City is one of few cities in the world where you can see the actual old city of the Aztecs right in the center of Mexico City. It’s amazing, like Rome, where the ruins are in the same spot as the actual city. Many nice neighborhoods like san ángel and coyoacan to stay there and visit. Visit Restaurants like: porfirios, punta Arenas (my favorite) san ángel inn, fishers (for fish tacos), ex hacienda los morales, etc

Wow! Really nice 👍

La condensa será donde hay mucha condensación?

That hunk of cheese is queso fundido. You place on pieces of tortilla, usually with mushrooms or chorizo.

Zane, it’s not the cooked food that has caused a stomach problem for people. It’s the tap water. So, if you order a coke or soft drink or alcoholic drink with your meal, you’ll be good. Anything cooked or baked will be ok

😂😂 you must open the tortilla and put the cheese inside.

You should go to colonia Del Valle and colonia Napoles those neighborhoods are so underrated and beautiful (my English is bad sorry)

Zane you need to make more videos, three or four a day every day☮️

Hey Zane! Go visit to Parque La Mexicana, maybe the most beautiful park in Mexico City.

las veces que he visitado Ciudad de México me he sentido seguro. no llego a zonas caras ,llego a hoteles de el centro histórico (son más baratos) 😂

I stayed in Centro. Walked to Mercado Merced through Tepito. No issues or an inkling of being unsafe.

I love that coffe shops in Mexico City ❤

" Condesa" you are hurting my ears lol

You should also visit Santa Fe and La Mexicana Park in that same area

You have to go to Coyoacán, to Santa Fe, etc

We Mexicans only want to be treated with respect while living in our country, we received you very well and many of the foreigners have been rude, reckless and even violent. Respect our country and our culture, as we will do with every foreigner that comes to live in our beautiful country.

Great video. Where to next?

It depends on where you go and what you do! Enjoy the city!

Im from NYC but i visit my family in CDMX, he gave a lot of good tips, i think another one i would definitely recommend. Leave the expensive jewlery and watches at home please. In the areas he mentioned nothing might happen. But if you go to other areas you might get attention so no flashy jewlery .

I've visited Mex CD more times than I can remember. I've never had a problem and never felt in danger. Most people are nice, nicer than those in most big cities in the U.S. Please visit other Mexican cities as you'll find amazing regional differences. The food, customs, and sites are greatly varied.

There are parts of CDMX that are safe like Polanco and Santa Fe. Many areas are not safe at night.

Food is awesome in Mexico!

You should totally visit Oaxaca city! The food there is AMAZING!!!!

I stayed in the historical district for a week. Two blocks from Zocalo. It was cool during the day but didn't feel safe after 10 pm with my 10 yr old. Yeah, the area where you stayed is much safer at night given that it is a upper middle class neighborhood.

Did you take the subway while you were there? I've heard Mexico City has a very nice subway system.

Am planning to go to mexico. I travel alone as a woman, usually am good because i go to places where there is no theft. Im from the emriates we dont nave theft there, i live in north thailand again no theft and also stayed in peru zero theft. It got me a bit worried but thanks for your tips 😊

What about getting in cabs? Can you trust the cab drivers? Or bus stops? Also do you feel safe going to the ATMs?

You should check other cities in Mexico like Guadajara or Monterrey.

Chapped lips could be in part because of the crazy high elevation. Less atmosphere means more UV.

Other safe areas to see and stay in: San Angel, Coyoacan, Del Valle, Anzures, Lomas de Chapultepec, Santa Fe, San Jerónimo, and so many others…

I used to skate back from work at midnight while living in México city I took the way through the centro nothing never happened to me

today, Saturday 24, at 7 pm, the main street reforma is going to be close to cars for a night bike ride, you can borrow a bike for free

5:57 the tent situation is so new, because of a president of a certain country allowing tons of migrants enter his country illegally while México is the last trajectory before arriving so they need to rest in between the travel so now Mexico city haves a lot of them because of that, normally that isn't a norm here

You definitely need to use Spanish words as a courtesy, like Gracias, Si, por favor. Try a translator on your smart phone. Your videos are enjoyable. 😊

I'm glad you enjoy our city but if you want enjoy the visit you need to watch many wonders all the city is safe but is a megalopolis so just need to have common sensce go to Coyoacán or Tlalpan Forrest or ser the UNAM condesa and Roma or Polanco is just a tiny little part of the city.

Great Video !!, If you like Huge Parks go to PARQUE LA MEXICANA, The Most Modern Park in Mexico City, Don´t miss SAN ANGEL and CHIMALISTAC Neighborhoods

What I do find intersting is that all the people who talk about never coming to Mexico because of danger, never watch these videos. They always are watching the crime videos and commenting how they'll never go.

Historical city center its also really safe!

Safer dense zones Roma Norte, Condesa, Juarez, Polanco, Lomas de Chapultepec, San miguel Chapultepec, Nápoles, San Angel, Coyoacan, Del Valle, Narvarte (Benito Juarez in General), Santa Fé

Un shot por cada vez que diga “La Condensa”
