Nightlife & the Arts in Mexico City

Night is the key word. People generally take in dinner and a show at 9 or 10 pm, head to bars or nightclubs at midnight, then find a spot for a nightcap or tacos somewhere around 3 am. (Cantinas are the exception; people start hitting them in the late afternoon and most close by 11 pm.)

You should have no trouble getting around on your own. Always take official hotel taxis or sitio (stationed) taxis; it can be expensive to bar-hop this way, but your safety is worth the cost.
