For travelers planning a mid-range stay in Mexico, it’s advisable to budget around $500 to $700 USD for a one-week trip. This amount allows for a comfortable experience including dining, accommodation, and local transportation. In general, the country is quite affordable, offering good value compared to other major destinations. Here’s a snapshot of typical daily expenses you can expect while in Mexico (prices are in Mexican Pesos, MXN):
Overall, Mexico can be classified as an affordable country to visit. When compared to the United States, expenses in Mexico can be roughly 30-50% lower, making it an attractive getaway. When contrasted with the UK, you’ll find that dining out and accommodations in Mexico provide significant savings, as UK prices can be substantially higher.
For expats living in Mexico, typical monthly living costs can range from 15,000 to 25,000 MXN, depending on lifestyle and location. Major expenses include rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. Urban centers such as Mexico City might skew towards the higher end of that range, while smaller towns may offer more budget-friendly options.
When it comes to banking and handling financial transactions, it’s common to use functionality-rich banking apps alongside debit and credit cards. Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, but it’s recommended to notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid potential holds on your cards. For sending and receiving money, online transfer services like Wise or OFX often provide better exchange rates and lower fees than traditional banks, making them an excellent choice for both expats and travelers. Exchanging money locally can sometimes result in higher fees, especially at airports or tourist hotspots, so it's typically better to plan ahead and utilize digital solutions for financial transactions.
