Mexico can be surprisingly expensive if you stay at popular resorts and package tourist areas. If you're adventurous and venture off the beaten path your money will go further too. As a rule, locally owned hotels and restaurants are considerably less expensive than anything targeted specifically at tourists.
Prices can also be affected by season and many hotels raise their prices during busy times of the year. Summer, Christmas and Easter are the peak times for Mexican tourists and areas like Acapulco and Cancún, which attract large numbers of overseas visitors, put their prices up during the high season.
Local market produce is much cheaper - and often much fresher - than what's on offer in sit-down restaurants. You may need to barter though. If you want to take a taxi agree the price before you get in the vehicle, because many drivers don't use meters. Taxi drivers don't expect tips, although it's customary to tip restaurant waiters between 10 to 15% of your bill, unless service is included.
As a very rough guide you can get by on around £250 per week, and live well on £400.
If you aren't visiting Mexico straight away, you can choose to buy Pesos at a time that's right for you. Use our Historical Exchange Rate tool to help you spot if prices are rising or falling over time..
Before you go to Mexico, check what you need to get vaccinated against - especially if you intend to spend any time outside the big cities. You'll need to book your jabs in advance, so don't leave them until you're about to fly. Wherever your travels take you in Mexico, don’t forget to pack travel insurance.
