Good to know about Mexico City

- While they typically bloom from March to April, an early bloom in February is a local omen that the rainy season will arrive late. Source
- The LGBT+ Pride march is not just a celebration; it's also a platform for political protest, so don't be surprised by activist messages and demands. Source
- The Integrated Mobility Card works for almost all transit (Metro, Metrobús, Cablebús), but you'll need sufficient credit before entering, as recharges can be slow. Source
- Outside of tourist zones and business districts, English fluency is limited; have a translator app or basic Spanish phrases ready for better interaction. Source
- For massive events like the Día de Muertos Parade in late October, arrive hours early to secure a good spot, as sidewalks fill up rapidly. Source
- Except for fine dining or very touristy areas, many kitchens close around 10:00 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. on weekdays, even if the venue stays open for drinks. Source
- While there are excellent parks, plan your morning runs early; after 9 a.m., traffic and pollution can make the experience less enjoyable. Source
