Mexico City boasts a pleasant climate year-round, making it a fantastic destination any time of year. However, the best time to visit depends on your preferences.
Low Season in Mexico City
For a quieter, more affordable trip, consider visiting during the low season from May to June, or September to November. Temperatures range from 10°C to 27°C during these months, making it ideal for sightseeing.
A highlight of visiting Mexico City during this season is exploring Xochimilco, the charming canals. You can enjoy a leisurely boat ride, admiring the colourful trajineras (gondolas) and enjoying the festive atmosphere, all while soaking up the pleasant temperatures.
High Season in Mexico City
The high season runs from December to April. Expect pleasantly warm days (10°C to 24°C) and cooler evenings during this time, along with bigger crowds and higher prices.
The vibrant celebrations during this season, especially during the holiday period of Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), create a memorable experience. A must-see is the Zócalo, the main square, which is usually adorned with decorations that are truly stunning.
