It is well known and has the stigma

by foreign tourists that Mexico is a dangerous country and that drug trafficking is deeply rooted in the country, but that is more present in the north, in the states and cities that confront the United States. In Mexico City it is not very present, ergo if there is an important level of crime such as assaults or robberies.

Next, I put at your disposal a map (click here) with the neighborhoods with the most impact on crimes so that you avoid going through them. However, I do recommend that you always keep an eye on your belongings, as well as when using public transport where there are many "pickpockets" in the metro system when this it is very crowded (mainly they deal with cell phone theft).

If a mishap happens to you, you have the emergency numbers at your disposal or if you are in a tourist place, go to to a police who can help you.
