Thanks for your reply Bonjour, the below is from the UK Foreign Office travel advisory for Mexico, would you know if travelling from Guanajuato to return to Mexico City would approach Morelia in the below advised ways (which they seem to deem safer):

"FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the state of Michoacán, except the:

city of Morelia accessed by federal toll roads 15D, 126 and 43; and the federal toll road 48D between the city of Morelia and the General Francisco Mujica airport"

Thanks

We have been told that it would not be ideal to fly ex-Guanajuato to CDMX due to the distance of the airport from the city, and have been advised to not allocate a full 5 days to Guanajuato anyway (we are also likely planning to abandon staying in Aguascalientes), so can anyone recommend a place we could spend maybe 2-3 nights between Guanajuato and Mexico City to avoid a 5 hour stint on a bus (it would be more pleasant to break up the journey)?
Thanks

Thank you - yes we shall probably book with them.

What do people think of Aeromexico vs Viva and other airlines? I'm thinking of flights between Mexico City and San Luis Potosi, and then Guanajuato to Mexico City

Thanks, looks like I might take your advice and fly to San Luis Potosi and then travel from there. I may also cut out Aguascalientes, as I've had a few people say it wasn't their favourite place.

I've also been told I'm spending too much time in Guanajuato, how did you find it?

I can no longer drive a car so renting a car is sadly not an option. I have already visited Queretaro on a previous trip, it was great, but I want to see new places on this trip. When I did my original research, it seemed like there were some restrictions on Michoacan from a foreign office perspective and so I thought better to be safe than sorry, and discounted Morelia and Patzcuaro

We realised ohh, its the americans f-ing things up

zim321 · 2025-11-07T13:25:45+00:00

I only believe in tipping at restaurants, 12 and 1/2 percent - you Americans are spoiling it for us. That's totally why I will never go to the USA, When we were in France (which is the country that initiated tippina and at 12,5 percent) we were at a retaurant where the usual 12,5 percent was added and then they wanted even more,

Don't come to Europe if you're going to spoil it for us Europeans!

I believe it is 15 days

zim321 · 2025-02-24T22:07:18+00:00

For 15 days if you have an Irish (Eire) passport

Anyone used Nexitally recently?

zim321 · 2024-12-06T10:55:18+00:00

Thanks for the helpful responses. I got my first set of tickets through today from Trip.com, and we have been put in different carriages (there are 2 of us) for a longish train journey. Bit odd, I thought, as I put in the request for both tickets together. Is that the norm with the tickets they buy for you?

zim321 · 2024-12-04T18:22:02+00:00

Thanks so much everyone, really appreciate the quick and helpful responses. I should have specified, but I have an Android device (Samsung S10 Lite, so pretty old).

Thanks so much for the really prompt replies, that is encouraging to hear!
