Different from the UK, do remember to drive on the right side of the road in Mexico. While Spanish signs might seem daunting at first, you'll quickly get accustomed. Here are some key pointers:

• Speed limits: typically range from 40-80 km/h in urban areas, and 100-120 km/h on highways.
• Parking: both metered on-street parking and paid lots are available throughout the city.

The official currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Most places accept credit cards, but it's always good to have some cash in hand for smaller establishments.

Climate
