Teotihuacan ancient ruins are one of the most popular trips around Mexico City, and you’ll find that plenty of tour agents are charging an extreme amount of money to get you there.
But it’s quite easy to get there by yourself once you know how to.
Here’s how you can visit Teotihuacan from Mexico City without a tour group
Your first step in getting to Teotihuacan from Mexico City is to go to Autobuses del Norte metro station.
The metro system in Mexico City is convenient, efficient, and very cheap. It costs only MXN 5 per journey.
For your trip back to the city, you need to exit Teotihuacan the same gate you entered - Puerta 2. When you exit the gate, turn right and walk a little down until you see the blue sign that says “bus”. It doesn’t take longer than 20 minutes for a bus to arrive. You can pay on the bus or show your return ticket.
Uber is pretty available and well used in Mexico City so you’ll have no trouble catching one.
Of course, it demands at the time of booking and traffic.
On Sundays, Teotihuacan offers free entrance to Mexican citizens and residents. Therefore the site will be crowded. If you are able, you might want to visit Teotihuacan on a weekday to avoid lineups.
