Connectivity Tips for Mexico City
Mexico City is large and traffic is heavy. Having navigation apps running via your HelloRoam eSIM is essential for planning routes and avoiding gridlock. Waze and Google Maps both have real-time Mexico City traffic integration.
The metro is cheap and fast for cross-city travel, though some lines are extremely crowded during rush hour. The Condesa and Roma Norte neighborhoods are among the best-covered for outdoor 4G and are popular with visitors.
Coyoacan, the historic borough with the Frida Kahlo Museum, has 4G in the main plaza and museum area. The Zocalo (main plaza) and the Templo Mayor archaeological site have outdoor 4G. Xochimilco's canal trajinera rides have 4G on the main canals but weaker signal deep in the chinampas waterways.
Best Time to Visit Mexico City
Mexico City sits at 2,240m altitude and has a mild climate year-round. The best months are November through April, the dry season. Temperatures stay between 12C and 22C. The air is clearest and the city's smog is at its lowest during the dry months. The Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations on November 1 and 2 are among the most authentic in Mexico. The historic cemeteries of Mixquic and the Zocalo parade draw visitors and locals together in one of Mexico's most moving cultural events. March is pleasant with the spring light. The summer wet season runs June through September. Afternoon rains fall almost daily, usually clearing by evening. June and July also see increased smog on days without rain. The rains keep the parks and Chapultepec forest intensely green. The Grito de Independencia (Mexican Independence Day) on September 15 fills the Zocalo with hundreds of thousands of people for the midnight presidential shout from the National Palace balcony.
Airport and Transit Connectivity
Mexico City International Airport (MEX), also called Benito Juarez Airport, is about 5 kilometers from the Historic Center. The airport has 4G throughout its two terminals. The Mexico City metro Line 5 (yellow) connects the airport to the metro network.
Uber operates from the airport but requires booking from the official Uber zone in the terminals. Taxis from authorized airport stands have fixed rates to different zones. The Felipe Angeles International Airport (NLU) north of the city connects via the Tren Suburbano and shuttle buses.
Uber, DiDi, and Cabify all operate in Mexico City and need live data. The CDMX Mi Movilidad transit app for real-time metro and bus info needs a data connection.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
