Tourists from the US, Canada, UK, EU/Schengen, Australia and New Zealand do not need a visa. You can stay for tourism for up to 180 days, completing the free FMM/FMMD immigration form.
A focused trip to one region, such as the Riviera Maya or Mexico City with day trips, works well in 5 to 7 days. To combine several regions, plan 10 to 14 days, using domestic flights to save time.
Mexico is visited safely by millions of tourists each year, but safety varies by region, so it pays to check current advisories and stick to well-traveled areas and reputable transport.
Light, breathable clothing and sun protection for the tropics, a swimsuit for the coasts and cenotes, and comfortable shoes for ruin sites and cobblestone colonial streets.
Exploring an ancient Maya or Aztec site, Chichen Itza near Cancun or Teotihuacan near Mexico City, then unwinding on a Caribbean or Pacific beach is the quintessential Mexico trip.
Do not leave without tacos al pastor, mole, fresh ceviche, tamales and street-corner antojitos, washed down with tequila or smoky mezcal.
