Mexico City → Mexico City Historic Centre: key facts

A private transfer from Mexico City Airport (MEX) to Mexico City Historic Centre costs €40 per car for 1–3 passengers and €60 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 9 km; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.

Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.

Mexico City International Airport sits in the Venustiano Carranza borough on the eastern side of the city, only about 9 km by road from the Zócalo. The drive heads west through the inner districts on wide avenues such as Circuito Interior, Eje 1 Norte or Avenida Fray Servando Teresa de Mier, depending on traffic. There are no tolls on this route. The distance is short, but weekday rush hours and events in the centre can make the trip far slower than the kilometres suggest.

The Historic Centre is built around the Zócalo, the vast main square framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the Palacio Nacional, with the excavated Templo Mayor just to the north-east. Madero street, a pedestrian route, runs west to the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Alameda Central park. Several streets in the core are closed to cars, so drop-offs are made at the nearest street open to traffic. Paseo de la Reforma, the Juárez district and Zona Rosa lie a short way further west.

Public transport instead: Metrobús CDMX (airport service listed by AICM) bus Metrobús airport route from Terminal 1 (gate 7) / Terminal 2 (gate 2) to Mexico City centre, Monday to Saturday 04:30-00:00, Sundays and holidays 05:00-00:00; paid with a Metrobús smart card sold at machines in both terminals.
