Plan my trip →From Mexico City, take the Autopista del Sol. During peak season, the key is leaving Thursday at 7:00 AM or very early Friday. Traffic at "El Paso Express" can be critical — patience and a good playlist are essential.
For a group of 4–6, the most Lagom option is hiring a private van with a driver for transfers to restaurants or Jardines de México. This way everyone can enjoy cocktails without worrying about the return trip.
Leave your car at the hotel if heading to the city center. The streets are narrow and local traffic on holidays is heavy — walking or private transport is far more efficient.
