Local tips

  • Get a personalised Civica card with your passport at a metro customer point such as San Antonio station to pay the frequent-user fare.
  • Tap water from EPM is potable, but run the tap for a minute in older buildings with galvanised pipes.
  • A Bodytech day pass of about 30,000 pesos lets you test a gym before a cheap plan that may lock you in for 6 or 12 months.
