Essential Travel Tips
Use taxis or ride sharing apps like Uber for getting around the city, as public transport is limited.
Carry Mexican pesos in small bills, as many local markets and smaller restaurants may not accept credit cards.
Learn basic Spanish phrases such as 'hola' and 'gracias' to communicate better, as English is not widely spoken.
Try regional dishes like cabrito (goat) and machaca (dried meat) to fully experience norteño cuisine.
Be mindful of safety by avoiding isolated areas at night and keeping valuables secure.
Check attraction opening hours in advance, as they can vary, especially on Sundays or holidays.
Visit during local festivals like the Feria de Ramos Arizpe in September for cultural events.
Dress in layers for warm days and cooler evenings, as the semi arid climate can have temperature swings.
