Mexico City - What to Pack - Clothing and Supplies Tips

A trip to Mexico City can be an amazing experience, but there are a few things to do at home to make sure it's the best trip it can be. Start by making sure you pack all necessary items (such as passport and weather-appropriate clothes) to ensure a happy stay. Here are a few other must-have things to remember to bring before you head to the airport.

As you prepare to travel to Mexico City, make sure you gather up all the personal hygiene items you will need for your trip, including toothpaste, lotion, shaving gel, razor, and shampoo. Toiletries can be more expensive if you are staying at a resort, and it may not be safe to travel into town and visit a store yourself, so be sure you pack what you need.

Pack your medications with you. Both prescription and over-the-counter medications are different in Mexico. You will want to have familiar brands, if needed, that help with a variety of ailments, including head, stomach, and sinus issues.

If traveling with a little one, ditch the stroller and use a baby carrier. There are not always sidewalks and roads are not always paved, making it difficult for strollers.
