Traveler Experiences Using eSIM in Mexico City

Long Stay in Mexico City

"Chapultepec on a Sunday morning was perfect - the park fills up fast with families. Rented an Ecobici and cycled around the lake. Found a quiet corner near the castle for a coffee break. 5G was solid."

Group Trip to Mexico City

"Coyoacán with friends on a Saturday - the market was insane. The Frida Kahlo museum line was too long so we skipped it. Grabbed tostadas at a street stall nearby, lived for the rest of the day."
